What? No black tea other than Chai? As a great Starfleet Captain once said, "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." With lemon black (either plain pekoe with lemon added or a lemon blend) second.
I do also like oolong and green and currently have a very nice oolong courtesy of my Chinese brother-in-law. It's supposed to be one of the best in China.
Hot green tea with honey... and the occasional crushed Sudafed (or generic) tablet added when I've got a damn cold. Eases my symptoms and helps me sleep.
Definitely not a fan of Hot Tea

Black tea, no milk or sugar.

I was brought up by a French mother and grandmother. They loved their tea and toast. It was a treat for us in the evenings sometimes. And I'm not ashamed to say it was virtually always Lipton's pekoe and orange pekoe tea. I still drink it when I want to feel good. With lots of sugar and half 'n half.
I love a hot cup of jasmine and lavender tea, with a drizzle of wildflower honey.
I like Earl Gray and Lady Gray. With milk or without, but sweet. Equal (the blue packet)
My preference is for Murchie's Wedding Blend, followed by their No. 10 blend, Earl Grey, and Murchie's Ms. Grey blend. That said, I'm sort of a black tea slut; in a pinch, anything will do--I keep P&G Tips on hand, always, as well as Red Rose. Green tea is just...I don't know. I don't have a taste for green tea.

I'm trying a new flavor...Tetley's Limited Edition Cookies & Cream

Take a look at my new poem for the competition:
I'm partial to blends that include peppermint or spearmint.
I like a jasmine/peppermint blend before bed.

Take a look at my new poem for the competition:
Just regular tea that is hot. No additives.
I'm a southern boy, I don't drink hot tea. It's black coffee for me. Sweet Iced Tea, yes!
Earl Gray mostly.
An ex girlfriend once told me that I have the blandest and least adventurous tastes when it comes to tea.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
Lambert's BOP, made in a pot, milk, no sugar.
Alternatively, if they still exist, any decent workmen's cafe should do a very good mug of tea. You'll need it to wash down the fried eggs, bacon, sausages, fried slice, black pudding, white pudding and fried tomato. I can feel my nipples whoops I mean arteries hardening just describing it, but it sure did set me up for a day on a building site.
I picked oolong but it was actually hard to pick a favourite
as I like so many
Tazo sweet orange
Jasmine green
Japanese green
Spearmint
Chai tea with a hint of honey
I should add that when I am eating at a chinese food restaurant I will have their green tea with the food. I use lots of sugar in it and it seems to compliment the food.
WELCOME to the site, Emmanuelle. I hope you enjoy yourself here and I look forward to reading any stories you write.
