I have a love affair with peppermint tea. It tastes great, is soothing on the stomach, and is very relaxing.

I like tea. I am not a fan of sweet tea though. (I'll drink it, but I prefer green tea with no additives.)

unsweetened tea.

at a restaruant i am notorious for downing copious amounts of tea.

Unsweetened, black, or green. Hot or cold. We have a tea rack of 10+ teas at work, so I help myself when I need to have something other than coffee.

Try using coffee system instead for that size.

I do enjoy pretty much any tea...just never order it.

I should...it's good.

I drink tea on the weekends. Got to drink coffee with a caffeine shot in it just to get going during the week ( I am up to work at 2 am)
Wal Mart has their store brand tea bags for 99 cents and you get like 300 of them in the box. I am drinking it right now and it is comparable to any other teas I have had.


Peace

i like the kind with bergamot quite a bit (im not sure if thats a normal addition to the blend or not, to be honest) and sometimes add a little lemon or honey

i grew up in the south and like sweet tea a bit, but its rare i drink it. i tried green tea with very little sugar, im not too fond of it but its drinkable.

It's the bergamot that makes it Earl Grey.

My personal favorite is Lapsang Souchong. It has a beautifully rich, smoky flavor.

I like tea, but sweet tea is NOT for me. I also like to boil a little ginger root in the tea water, then remove it to make the tea. other herbs work great also!!

I have been drinking a ton of tea each day. Hot tea speficially. I switch between green and white tea. Ideally, i brew loose leaf tea myself but if i do not have time, i just use Republic of Tea brand bags.

It is so good. Also, i have found that white tea is better for you than green tea. YUM.
