What is your favorite (favourite) tea?

What's the drink of choice in your area? Coffee? Coke?

I'm a coffee addict (16oz travel mug every morning 7 days a week or else HEADACHE), but I do enjoy a nice non-caffeinated tea in the evening before bed.

Personally, I like Tibetean Chai Tea - spicy and flavourful. Any old chai works fine with me, but Tibetean Chai from Tea Haus in London (Ontario) is a treat for me.

no it didn't.
sorry, i don't know what defines an instant awake person if you tell me i may be able to answer your question

one thing for sure, i don't have these problems with posting or looking at the screen
but as C:Amie said,



yes i know that feeling to some extent sometimes need a few hours before it wears off, but no one told me yet that i'm unbearable

I am not a morning person either. Typically, until my morning dose of caffeine sets in, I've been known to be quite cynical and sarcastic.

Living in the sub-arctic does that to us.

Cmonex, I mean can you just wake up and go without assistance? Nothing needed before you can stand being around people? Or them around you?

nothing is needed.

Wow, you'd be nice to have around in the mornings then

If people don't appreciate that about you, find new people to hang out with...

hehe thanks

Well, I usually drink Earl Grey otherwise its Lemonade. Coffee doesn't really interest me, so I have never even tried it

I have also only ever had Earl Grey tea, never tried anything else.

Mine's milk and 1 sugar whilst your asking

PGTips, A traditional blend of whatever crap is lying around that they can get cheap. I love it! It's available at grossly over-inflated prices from the local Indian Corner Shop.

English Breakfast with milk...that does it for me. But tea doesnt keep me awake or wake me up at all.

Over here, there is a version of such tea called teh tarik...It basically means "pulled tea". The seller would have one container in each hand and he would pour from left to right and right to left...till it gets foamy at the top...Its a great beverage but sweet since it has condensed milk in it.

Lots of great teas out there.

For a morning tea if you haven't tried Irish Breakfast you have done yourself a great disservice.

Green, Jasmine and Oolong are also great.

The British teas are, well...nasty Earl Grey doesn't hold a candle to the Orientals.

If you ask - for me, black please. Nada ingredients added.

Heracy!

The interesting thing to remember with tea is, that unlike coffee, it does not have a taste. As the poster above said, it's mostly water, what flavour there is in it does not actually fire off any of the taste buds, it actually causes the nasal receptors to fire off; making the whole tea experience an aroma, rather than a taste.

CBC, tea does have medicinal purposes, especially green tea. If you are a coffee drinker it is a lower caffine alternative, and far better for you than any caffinated beverage.

Early Grey with cream.

I started drinking "white" tea when I was in University in England and haven't turned back.

Although as Chris can attest... I'm a pain in the arse in the morning without coffee

White tea? As in lots of milk? I had tons of white coffee when I was in the UK so I'm guessing here.
