How much do you like tea?

Typically I stick to mint now, it's the only kind that doesn't make me nauseous and hungry, for some odd reason. If I drink at meal time though, I'll have green tea or something.

Tea is the only thing I really like mint in.

I love tea so much that this is my tea cupboard:



(Actually, there's more tea in there now and it's a bit messier, as that photo's from when it was first organised, lol.)

My favourite is Earl Grey, and I own pretty much every variation readily available to me. (Including ThinkGeek's "Tea. Eary Grey. Hot", Harrod's "Flowery Earl Grey", and a variety of Rooibis, green, white, and oolong versions.) I have a fair number of herbal, pu'erh, white, black, green, and oolong teas, but I have admitted over time that black is my most favourite. I have a nice Irish Breakfast from David's Tea that I've been really enjoying recently. I usually do loose leaf tea but also use tea bags sometimes. I've also discovered that I like matcha more than I like green tea, so I've been doing that more often too.

I would still drink tea as often as @smotheredincheese does if I wasn't worried that I'd overdose in caffeine (since I'm not really all that fond of the herbals and caffeine-free options.) These days, I usually have 2 mugs per day on week days (or I'm supposed to switch to caffeine-free after that) and 3-4 per day on weekends. 90% of my beverage intake is tea or water. Thankfully, I've never taken sweetener in my tea, and I only do a splash of skim milk, so I don't have to worry much about added calories.

Not a fan of black tea, but I don't mind green tea if it's brewed right. I also drink some of the herbals like lemon and ginger etc, but the ones I like don't actually contain any tea - so I think they would be herbal infusions rather that tea. Kava isn't tea either, it's made from a root pounded up and infused, no tea leaves there.

Correct. Kava contains no tea leaves and neither do most herbal teas. But most people still refer to them as tea.

I like Red Rose Tea the best for everyday use because each box comes with a little figurine. It's like the prize in a cereal box but for grown ups!

I drink a lot of tea. Specifically in winter
Favourites are: green tea, green tea lemon, green tea ginger, chamomile, herbal blend containing star anise (we call it sterrenmix), gunpowder green tea, simple English breakfast
So you could say I love my green tea.
And I love in spring and summer fresh lemon verbena and sage.

Not a fan of rooibos and I personally am no fan of flavoured fruit teas

I hate black & green teas for the flavor. When I drink it, it's herbal, usually peppermint or chamomile, but I've enjoyed black cherry and some jasmine tea as well.

Ginger and turmeric is a current fav.

Ginger,
licorice,
pepperment

"chai"

green tea latte
earl grey latte

passion tea
camomille

YUM

I used to love Yorkshire Gold, but my migraines do better without caffeine, so no more of that for me.

I drink decaf English Breakfast now. I also have a nice collection of various herbal teas, one of which is a pretty tasty decaf green tea (which is weird because I don't like plain green tea) blended with chamomile and mint along with some other things. I tried Celestial Season's Candy Cane lane and loved it, so I was looking for something to fill the void finishing the box left in my life. I'm not a fan of plain mint tea.

I wish I could have the barley tea CafeRacer mentioned. I had it ages ago and loved it, but it's a no-no for me now. (I have celiac disease).

Hot green mint tea...I usually just buy the Bigelow brand

At night I have chamomile but in the morning I usually have chai or irish breakfast.
