    I drink a giant mug of green tea every day with two teaspoons of agave nectar and I usually only buy organic loose tea.

    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.

    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!

    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 it :)

    Russian tea <3 google it. But I like me a good Earl Grey. (with LEMON, not milk. If milk, then full fat milk.) no sugar.

    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.

    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!

    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!!!!

    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!

    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: large.jpg


    Edited to say: Nothing added to this. It tastes nutty, earthy, and smells of toasted rice.
    I love this tea. Numi has in in bags. It is so satisfying. As with any green tea don't get the water too hot (just below boiling) and don't steep it over 3 minutes.

    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.

    How does it taste compared to Rooibos? There is something about Rooibos that I don't care for.

    I used to drink coffee with milk and two sugars, then i cut out the sugars, then the milk. I didn't like black coffee but drank it anyway cause it was better for my diet. At one point i was drinking 8 cups a day all with 2 sugars! Anyways, i didn't like the coffee i was drinking so i decided to drink green tea instead cause i didn't like that either but at least it didn't stain my teeth and leave me feeling poisoned at the end of the day. Eventually came to like it straight, Nowadays it's a rarity though, i carry around a two litre bottle of diluted squash and drink that through the day instead, i try to get squash that has as little chemical rubbish in it as possible but i find it very hard to avoid them all (aspartame is the one absolute NO) I do get some funny looks walking around with a huge bottle sometimes though :)

    As i don't like coffee, i have about 10 large mugs of tea or more every day.
    Anything from ordinary black, to green and white teas. Herbal and fruit.
    I guess i have about 40 different kinds in the cupboard. Helps to drink a lot (my kidneys are happy) and the different flavors from the tea keeps me from snacking.
    My favourites are blends with spices (ginger, cardamon, chili, cinnamon, ...)
    They taste like dessert in a cup without the calories.
    Try an Indian chai ..... Yummy

    Earl Gray, English Breakfast, Constant Comment, and Chai are my faves. I also make a syrup from Chai and add it to milk, kind of like a latte. Delicious!
