    I drink three 20oz "mugs" of plain, old black tea (Salada brand) every day. I wish I could enjoy it without the milk and sugar, but I can't. It gets me through life!! Anyway, I like the Salada brand because it's much smoother than Lipton or Tetley.

    I've found that I really dislike any flavored teas.

    I bag of Yogi/Tazo Peppermint tea + 1 bag of Yogi/Tazo Ginger tea + 12 oz water = Gingermint bliss. I can probably spend the rest of my life drinking just that. Add 1-2 tsp of honey for sweetness and yum!

    Tazo makes one that is green tea with mint and it is amazing. Got a couple of Yogi teas and they are also really good. Ginger tea is one of my favorites I love a strong ginger tea at night!

    Get to work at 9am: Cup of tea (English breakfast, of course)
    11am: Cup of tea
    1pm: Something herbal with lunch, usually peppermint
    3pm: Cup of tea
    4.:30: Quick cup of tea before I go home
    6:30: Get home, cup of Earl Grey
    7:30: Cup of Fennel tea to help digestion after dinner
    8:30: Cup of fruit tea
    9:30: Chamomile, to help me sleep.

    Yeah, I like tea.

    I like your style haha. I have tea in the mornings and often in the evenings as well. But any day when I can fit an extra cup is a great day.

    I'm English tea flows in my veins ;) lol. .

    Me too. But I only drink ordinary (black) tea. Have tried the herbal/fruit ones and hated them. Was gutted when I was told that I'd have to give up drinking tea as it is contra-indicated with a medication I'm taking.

    Had to convert to de-caffeinated. Took a few days but I enjoy it now.

    Peppermint Tea or Pukka's Chamomile, Vanilla & Manuka Honey rarely, probably about 2-3 times per week at most and only when it's warm, can't drink it hot. Rest of the time I stick with sparkling water and the occasional diet coke.

    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.

    I drink tea every day. Hot and iced. I like spiced hot tea so I usually go for English breakfast, green or chai (black or green) mixed with Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice tea (which isn't actually tea at all). Or a hot cup of chamomile and Bengal Spice before bed.

    For iced I usually just go for what is known in these parts as 'regular tea', which is orange pekoe like Lipton or Luzianne. But sometimes I mix other teas with it - black, green, chamomile. Always unsweetened.

    I like most tea as long as it's plain - no sweetener or cream. I hate sweet tea.

    I wish I liked tea. *lesigh* I always think it smells good (my husband is the tea drinker in the house), but I just can't get behind it. He likes English Breakfast and Earl Gray best.

    Tea is the only thing I really like mint in.

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

    qh0xq5q6uwiy.jpg

    (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!

    Wanted to add that I also really love roasted barley tea (we call it mugicha in Japanese). It's caffeine free and tastes nutty. Iced mugicha is very popular during the summer in Japan, as many find it to be more refreshing than plain water. I drink a ton of it during the hot LA summers and it really does seem more refreshing to me. It's also really great when brewed hot.

    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 drink 2-3 cups a day. I'm all about the oolong tea and Barry's gold blend tea. I am an american but I picked up the taste for gold blend on a visit to Ireland. It is so good!

    I also enjoy peppermint, dandelion, and chamomile. MMM.. gonna go make me a cup right now!

    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.

    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).
