    5-6 cups a day. My family is Chinese so we get the good loose leaf stuff :)

    About 3 days a week from Starbucks! Unsweetened and I love it!

    I sometimes have a cup of green tea, or earl grey with breakfast. After that it's all non-caffeinated teas (tisane, I guess is more accurate). Sometimes hot, sometimes chilled.

    I drink one to two cups of matcha tea a day.....as has been said its super healthy because you use the whole tea leaf.....I don't use any special tools or techniques like most do with matcha tea.....just spoon it into a cup of hot water, stir it up and enjoy....I often add turmeric...black pepper...cinnamon and nutmeg.....sounds weird but we like it!
    turmeric and other spices sounds nice. Kinda...chai like.

    I drink it as much as I want, but I also drink lots of peppermint and chamomile.

    Starbucks Unsweetened Iced Green Tea almost every day. Curbs all appetite cravings for me.

    Republic of Tea has so many good flavors of green tea! I am a huge fan of their kiwi pear, goji raspberry, black raspberry, and wild berry plum. They also sell some very tasty chocolate teas! Link for those interested: http://www.republicoftea.com/

    Thank you Spencerport! I need to check this out....

    I wish I could. Tea on an empty stomach gives me the queasies. I do drink Sleepytime 'tea' at night though.

    Plain water is boring to me, so drinking tea helps me get my water in. I like the gentle flavor of white tea, which I am drinking as I type this. I drink green as well, and love black tea blends - usually flavored with things like orange peel, spices, lavender flowers, cacao, anise, vanilla, dried fruits, etc. - natural flavorings in various combinations. I don't love Rooibos, (it's like tree bark to me,) but some people do, so try it if you're looking for something different. I haven't tried Mate (yerba mate) tea yet, but it's supposed to be a stimulant like caffeine, but without the side effects. I sometimes do herbal - peppermint and ginger - if my stomach needs soothing, but not that often. I don't like to add sweetener to my teas, usually.

    Ever since my husband introduced me to loose leaf teas a few months ago, I CANNOT stand cheap quality ground tea in tea bags - the kind you buy in the grocery store. The difference is amazing. I'm such a tea snob now. High quality teas have ruined me. I order online and there are literally thousands of varieties and flavors. Tea is never boring now. I probably have 1-4 cups a day. <3

    I love Kawaiti Herbals- if that's how it's spelled my bottles are in the kitchen. I love it. Also black Pu-Erh tea is really yummy. My aunt drinks it so I get it from her. I am drinking this See Less O Me tea. It has SO MANY good things in it. I have to add lemon cause it's a tiny bit bitter.

    I like pu-erh as well. I highly recommend this one. It's one of my favorites.

    I've managed to limit myself to 2-3 cups of tea per day, but suffice to say, I'm a total tea nut. Teavana is my go-to retailer for loose leaf teas because despite being a little bit on the steep* side, they have some of the most delicious green, oolong and white tea blends that I've come across. From now 'til the 11th of this month, they're also having a 75% off sale on their website, so it's a good time to stock up!

    This is my first time hearing of Steepster. I signed up straight away to check out what other teas people are talking about!


    *Get it? Steep! I kill me.

    I love a good black tea. I dont know the name of my current yummy brand because I got the tin at an Asian market and it's in Chinese or something :) I also love a spicy chai tea. I have green tea and like it, but I find I get more thirsty if I drink more than an occasional cup.

    I never add anything to tea unless I have a sore throat and then I like a dash of cayenne and some wildflower honey.

    I try to drink 3 cups of hot green tea in the evening.
    I'm going to be adding a bit of cinnamon tea next week.
