Also any hot tea with mint is awesome right after a meal. And I read somewhere that drinking a glass of warm water or tea with or right after each meal helps with weight loss and digestion.... not sure how true it is but I def feel better when I do0

I LOVE tea! I never add sugar of any kind. I drink a lot of green tea and black tea. I have been picking some of my wild spearmint leaves lately and squeezing lemon in it. I also like black tea with also me grated ginger and a cinnamon stick. But I agree with others that loos leaf tea is the way to go. And get good quality. It makes quite the difference.0

Black tea straight up!
Some times Indian Masala Chai - Ginger/Cardamom/Cinnamon infused tea with milk0 -
I love all tea except the iced tea not sure why but I just cannot do it lol Early grey is great, irish breakfast tea and one of my favourites is Chinese tea. Oolong is a nice one as is Jasmin.0

Earl Grey, Hot.0

I LOVE TEA! I love Madame Flavour tea (all of them) and good old green tea. Also partial to Twinnings English Breakfast on a cold day.
When I have a garden, I really love to make my own tea. A few mint or lemon balm leaves in hot water is heaven, and on a hot day with the mint you can add a little hot water, leave it for a minute or two then pour icy cold water over top, add more ice and it makes the best iced peppermint tea. Sometime I experiment and add a little lavendar, citrus juices and even thyme to my teas. Mint is a great base and masks some of the more bitter flavours of other herbs.
Must go an buy myself a herb planter for my balcony!0 -
PG Tips, brewed strong, milk and a splenda0
-
Earl Grey. Hot. One pack of splenda.
This!!0 -
I love tea. English breakfast tea milk and no sugar. I really miss tea when I go on holiday. Nothing tastes like a cup of English breakfast tea in England.Even if it is made with the same brands as I buy at home it does not taste the same! I have ordered tea in many bars and restaurants all over the world much to my kids disgust when the sun is beating down and everyone else is drinking cold drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't really get the taste for iced tea. :drinker:0

With jam and bread...0
-
I love the spicy Bengal Spice brewed 10 minutes. It's warming and needs no extra sweeteners as cinnamon does the job nicely!0
-
Bigelow green tea with chai.
Sometimes I drink it plain and sometimes I add a packet of sweet'n'low. But I've never thought of adding extra cinnamon before, I might have to try that....0 -
I like mine weak and either room temperature or with ice in it. (I brew it strong and then dilute it to drink throughout the day.) My favorites are peppermint, green tea and white tea. Sweetened tea, to me, is nasty.0
-
I love Tazo Zen tea, Celestial Seasonings green tea with antioxidants (it has white tea and citrus in it which gives it a nice flavor), peppermint tea (any brand is pretty good), chamomile tea (ditto), and Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea (it's my favorite herbal tea).
I drink my tea black.
ETA: I looooooooove black iced tea but it can be really difficult to find a good one. A lot of coffee shops and restaurants overbrew their iced tea and give it a burnt taste that I cannot stand. I tend to brew my own at home. I prefer it unsweetened.0 -
I am a tea freak! I have ADHD and it is how I self-medicate. I love coffee too, but it makes me jittery if I have more than one cup. I have an entire cupboard FULL of different kinds of tea. I am not a fan of sweetened tea...dont know why it just doesnt appeal. I have a wonderful mix for fruity iced tea that is AWESOME!! I use 5 or 6 regular lipton tea bags and two celestial season tangerine orange zinger (this makes a pitcher, not just one glass) and then sometimes I will will throw in a tea bag or two of stash raspberry pomegranate with matcha. Its super yummy! I also like to make peppermint iced tea. Sleepytime tea is awesome for winding down in the evenings and it is sort of sweetish on its own. There are a few teas I will drink sweetened and that is Chai of course... I like it with honey and soy milk. My winter time favorite is in place of hot cocoa because I am not such a fan of that either. I buy the celestial seasons candy cane lane tea and I brew it strong and then I add a little half and half and some honey. It is almost like drinking a buttermint. Sooooo good!0

My sister got some dried mint and some local sort of weed looking thing. We use it to make our own tea. Tastes great AND helps with allergies!
Is that "weed looking thing" nettle, maybe? My grandpa used to take that for his allergies.0 -

ooohhh! Good to know!0 -
teavana makes reeeeeally good tea. loose leaf and you can order it online0
-
I love caffeine free herbal teas and I especially like them iced with nothing else added.0
-
Bewleys, Tetley, Barry's or Lyons tea with a drop of milk0
-
I drink a giant mug of green tea every day with two teaspoons of agave nectar and I usually only buy organic loose tea.0
-
Loose leaf expensive green stuff. My tea collection is extensive. Must be drunk without any sweeteners or milk. Occasionally I'll make an exception for chai.0

Tea is the one thing I can tolerate and sometimes prefer to drink unsweetened. Especially iced tea. But with hot tea, I usually do want a little bit of sugar. I don't like artificial sweeteners, but I find they don't have the same yucky after taste when added to tea. It's the only thing I can tolerate artificial sweeteners (and only a tiny bit). I'm trying to learn to like drinking my coffee black. That is one of my fall backs is that I have to have my coffee with cream and sugar or sweetened creamer. I usually spend 300 calories just on my coffee each day!0
-
I love any kind of tea. But my favorites would have to be green tea and english tea time. I used to put a sweet n low in no matter what kind it is. But I've only been drinking green tea lately and with nothing in it and I've really learned to love it0
-
Russian tea google it. But I like me a good Earl Grey. (with LEMON, not milk. If milk, then full fat milk.) no sugar.0
-
I drink my tea with a spoonful of honey, not because I need it sweet, but "just because". Call it a treat or an addiction... I just can't have one without the other ;-)
I love Twinings teas, prefer herbal or fruity over black, but I also love green with some added flavour.
When I have a cold, I add some lemon to it.0 -
I'm going to sound like a total freak. I steep my bag then empty the cup and then re-pour. Too much caffeine irritates my bladder and i just love a cup sometimes I have a half teaspoon sugar and a splash of milk.
Favourite teas are Early Grey and Darjeeling. But i do like a PG tips!0 -
currently I have a boring cup of PG tips with milk, but most days I use my Piao-i infuser with loose leaves. One teaspoon of good leaves lasts me all day. I have with me some Aged Pu-erh, and some Dragon's Well green tea, and also some Xing Ran Dan Cong which I got from a tea club I joined, but haven't yet tried.
tea-bag tea with milk, good quality loose teas I prefer without milk. I am booked on a tea tasting in November can't wait!!!!0 -
I drink probably 4 cups of tea a day, usually earl grey, english breakfast, or green. By far my favorite though is Tazo's Honeybush. If you haven't had it yet, I highly recommend it, it's an herbal tea that is naturally sweet, so no need to add any sugar/honey/artificial sweeteners. Perfect for that sweet fix!0

I drink loose leaf Japanese "brown rice tea" It's delicious. I buy it in a big bag from the Asian market (Marukai) for a couple dollars.
It looks like this:
Edited to say: Nothing added to this. It tastes nutty, earthy, and smells of toasted rice.
I drink most teas straight. Some flavored teas seem to need sweetener and I will add one packet of Nectresse to a 32 oz. pot.0
