    Tea is a hipster thing???

    Where I'm from a cup of tea is the basis of all decent civilisation, and if I see some scruffy bespeckled ruffian with tattoos and a scraggly beard then I call the constabulary, because I've clearly apprehended a deserter from Her Britannic Majesties Royal Navy.

    :laugh: I like the cut of your jib, young fella me lad.

    My mom got off of Diet Coke, and switched to tea. She always liked tea, but most of the time, they were too sweet. She would add water to them to make them less sweet.

    So you could water them down, or add sugar. I hate tea myself, I have been forced to drink it, but I threw up after wards. So adding some sugar may help. Also a lot of Japanese teas may taste nice. I've had some, they weren't too bad. :)

    You don't have to drink tea if you don't like it, but it's definitely an acquired taste. I would never choose to drink black, but green tea has really grown on me, especially the flavored ones. Some herbal teas are really good, too. There's just something soothing about a cup of green, white or herbal tea in the evening. Try a pomegranate or blueberry white tea. It's very mild. Tension Tamer by Celestial Seasonings is one my favorites. It's an herbal tea with a nice gingery flavor, and it's very relaxing.

    Once you get into teas, you'll probably become a bit obsessed with the variety. I think I have six or seven in the cupboard right now.

    I'm guessing you want to drink green tea for the antioxidants? I love tea, so this might just be me, but green tea is too mild for my taste buds, so I make a blended iced tea: half black and half green REALLY strong. Add ice and maybe a little lime or mint and it's very refreshing.

    Tea a Hipster thing?? Not liking tea????

    Good lord, we've invaded countries for less!


    Tea is the very cornerstone of civilisation. Tea is the glue that binds society. Tea is the balm for all life's woes. Tea is life.

    It seems like tea has made it's way into the modern, hipster world.

    Quite the opposite - tea is one of the foundations of civilisation. The British Empire was built on it.

    The ultimate drink with which to solve a domestic crisis. Milk, no sugar, ta. x

    The British Empire was mostly founded on sugar, actually. However tea should be respected! :drinker:

    I hate tea too. I hate bitter drinks! Sweet tea/iced tea is good, but at that point I may as well be drinking soda with how much sweetner I need. Same goes for coffee.

    If it wasn't for tea I can gaurantee there would have been more than 2 world wars, tea can solve any crisis in England, no matter what happens, someones died kettles on, just got engaged kettles on, police have come round to speak to you about your misbehaving offspring kettles on. However all these fancy teas are an abomination to the name tea, and should only be taken milk no sugar and a plate of biscuits and or cake.

    Now after saying all that I do prefer coffee, only drink tea when I have no coffee or when around someones' house, does this revoke my nationallity?

    I don't necessarily think tea is necessary for a healthy diet. However, if you really want to include it, I would recommend trying a vatiety of flavors. I have decided several time that I wanted to start eating more of a food that I don't like. I find if I just eat them, eventually I start to enjoy/like them. As far as adding something to it, maybe milk? I prefer not to add anything though, because I don't want to add calories to something that can be very flavorful on its own.

    As others have said, try the extract if drinking green tea is not your thing.

    Trader joes has a peppermint tea that will be in stores soon. It's the only one I like so I stock up for the year because it is a seasonal item. I think it is called candy cane green tea.

    Give it time. It is an acquired taste. You'll begin really enjoying it about 3-4 weeks after you start drinking tea on a regular basis.
