I do. I like it. I guess I like tea because I'm English. Anyway, what flavour of tea do you like? How many sugars do you have with your tea? hehe Sorry I am being silly

I occasionally have a cup of strong tea with fat free milk and no sugar. I also enjoy Rooibos tea which is a South African bush tea. Totally natural and caffeine and calorie free. Oh, and Peppermint tea is soothing too. But Earl Grey tea is yuck!

I love all kinds of tea. I'll have a Breakfast tea every morning, English or Irish with cream and 1 sugar. The tea the rest of the day varies and always another at night and all with one sugar. My favorites though are Jasmine, Sleepy Time Vanilla, and Darjeeling. I also have a real variety in my cupboard, needing a pantry just for teas. I use loose leaves for many of them to better control the strength; with a collection of strainers even some antique ones.

I adore hot beverages.
I love a strong cup of organic coffee, as well as many types of tea.
I enjoy English and Irish breakfast tea, I am always on the lookout for organic and fair trade. I like PG tips black tea. I enjoy apricot black tea and black currant black tea. I also like green tea and jasmine green tea as well as various flavors of rooibos tea. I like honey in my green tea but usually only milk in black teas. Thanks for asking. I love to talk about tea.

Here in the Southren United States we drink a lot of tea, but we don't drink it warm very often. I love iced sweet tea, I only take warm peppermint tea when I am sick.

I am a Yank but drink a lot of tea and I like strong flavored teas. I like it both hot and iced. Since I am both glucose and lactose intolerant, I have to drink it plain. Orange Pekoe / Black tea is my fave but I also like chai and Earl Grey. I also like to combine jasimine and orange herbal tea - they taste great together! Though green tea is supposedly healthier, I have not been able to develop a liking to its grassy taste.

Being a dutiful Southerner, I love Sweet Tea, which leads to a funny story.

My wife's family are from the mid-west. I went with her to a cousin's wedding a few years ago in Kanas City, Missouri. One night a bunch of the family decided to go eat at the local Bob Evans. When the waitress came to take the drink orders, I reflexively answered "Sweet Tea"

No Kidding here folks, she looked at me as if I had arrived in a UFO. Politely she said she did not know what sweet tea actually was but offered unsweatened tea with some packs of "sweet n low"

I said "Hon, it just a'int the same thing, I will just have a pepsi instead"

My wife's relatives had a good laugh on that one.

Ok, I'm from California......Ice tea is NOT SWEET....lol. It's just plain brewed tea with ice in it & usually too strong so I have to add a lot of water to make it drinkable.

Went to visit my Dad's family in Nebraska on their farm the summer my husband & I (more like me) got pregnant......the well for the house went through sufur & the well for the cows was perfect wonderful clear water. I couldn't handle the sulfer flavor & I don't do soft drinks....never have liked the fizz......so I always added the instant tea stuff to the water along with lemon to try to cover up the sulfur....it didn't work well & I usually ended up getting a bit sick when I drank the water even with the t in it.....at that time I didn't KNOW I WAS PREGNANT....was just guessing but it was only the water that made me feel sick.

My next fun experience with t was when I went to Italy. Some friends had learned to drink their hot tea with milk I had never heard of that in California. We were on a picnic at Ostia Antica & the only thing they brought was the tea with milk. It wasn't my favorite.....but I did end up drinking as we were all thirsty after climbing around all the ruins.....that was my first introduction to how the English drink their tea.

Then 4 years ago, I moved from California after living there for 53 years......& moved to just above the South...lol....KY. My first experience with Sweet Tea. I ordered tea at the restaurant & then normally brought Sweet Tea. I took one sip & just couldn't handle the sweet.....so I had to ask for some "just plain" ice tea. I still haven't acquired a taste for the sweet tea....however, I do love to brew a tea called Bengal Spice.....it is rather sweet without adding any sweetner & when it's just warm, not hot, it has a very sweet flavor. I usually throw ice cubes into it for a more refreshing summer drink & not as boring as just plain water. I like all flavors of Tea. They have a Christmas brew from the Elmwoods Inn that is orange spice & even better. The peach tea & some other flavors, I like adding the agave syrup sweetner rather than sugar & I never use the sweateners.

I hardly ever drink coffee....tea is definitely my drink of choice...hot or iced & usually NOT sweetened as it seems to make me more thirsty than when it's not sweetened.

I am pretty much addicted to sweet iced tea. I drink it every single day.
I can't even imagine a day without it believe it or not. I'd much rather have my tea than soft drinks any day.

I'd completely forgotten about ice tea since I last visited the USA ! They don't do it too much over here in the UK. *huge sad face*

(I mean proper ice tea, not the rubbish Costa and Starbucks sell)

I love hot black tea, no sugar with a little 1% milk. Also like green tea plain and my newly discovered Matcha green tea. I don't like the flavored teas. When I was in Turkey 27 yrs ago, they had a unique way of making black tea - they had this double type of pot - one on top of the other. It would brew and it would end up in the other pot but concentrated. They serve it in little glass golded rimmed cups. I honestly thought for a split second I was poisoned because it was so strong I had to put 2 cubes of sugar to make it tolerable.

I like tea and drink it just about every day. I like many different kinds, and when I can find it I particularly like jasmine tea. I rarely put sugar in tea.
