What Kind of Tea Do You Like? This is the Poll!

[Marcia]

Since we've had a coffee poll or two, I thought we should have one for tea drinkers. I drink both coffee and tea, but coffee always in the morning. However, I like tea as well!

So pick your favorite kind of tea. If you don't see it, please tell us what it is. Remember, I cannot think of nor put all types in the poll!

Note: This does not include the so-called herbal teas, which are not really tea at all, but rather infusions. Tea must come from a tea leaf plant. So if you like those herbal drinks (chamomille, orange, etc.), we need another poll for that.

Just realized I forgot to put "Other" in the poll! Sorry! If you don't see what you like, just tell us.

 

[Marcia]

I myself needed to vote "Other" but I forgot it. So I chose "I like most varieties," which is true, but right now I am drinking Bigelow's English Teatime (not English breakfast) which I think has the taste closest to real English tea.

 

[Palatka51]

I like most varieties.

I marked English breakfast which is what I'll choose if we're out but at home, it's Tetlea from Britain all the way. I have a good friend who came from England and stocks up for me whenever she goes home. When I run out, Tetlea's British Blend is pretty much the same as the British Tetlea. So I will use that.

Hmmm - now I want a cup of tea! BRB - oh, and I like it with milk and sugar.

I would have liked to have asked how people like their tea, too. Maybe another poll? :laugh:

I have been drinking my English Teatime with evaporated milk, no sugar. Very good!

Tetley Iced Tea Blend (I can't stand hot tea) sweet tea

 

[Alcott]

I answered Lipton Regular, because that is the closest in type and flavor to what I usually drink; however it's not usually Lipton. At home I normally buy Luzianne in 'family size' tea bags to make iced tea; and most of the time I also have Celestial Seasonings around, though I don't drink it very much and keep it long enough to where it loses its flavor. At work, our coffee bars have several kinds, but I normally choose Bigelow Lemon Lift. But since I had a bad cold in February, I have craved more lemon in tea, so I have lately been adding a lot of that acidic juice, whether home or work, hot or cold. And one last thing-- I can't stand sweetened tea.

I like a variety.

Tetley Iced Tea Blend (I can't stand hot tea) sweet tea

I meant to have an option for Iced Tea!!

I shoud have that instead of White Tea which I don't think many people drink.

 

[PJ]

As long as it's decaf, any brand will do.

 

[donnA]

always decaf, for ced tea, any plain regular decaf will do, for hot tea I love black tea(really strong, no other flavors), but can't find decaf here anymore.

You really can't get decaf tea at the grocery store there? Every store I go to here has it - usually several kinds.

 

[Revmitchell]

Capital "T"

 

[BigBossman]

I was teetering between flavored green tea & Lipton. Because I like both, but I just voted for flavored green tea (lemon).

 

[4His_glory]

I need the "other" option too Marcia. Oh the injustice that prevents me from voting! This is discrimination I say!:smilewinkgrin:

I drink mate the traditional way. But I have notice that in the US there exists a mate craze right now in the health food stores. They sell it it tea bags in case anybody wants to try it.

 

[SaggyWoman]

And, of course, Unsweetened.

 

[Debby in Philly]

Make mine Darjeeling or English or Irish Breakfast. No sugar, no milk, and brewed long enough to bring out the flavor. I can't see what anyone can like about Earl Grey - it's all smell and no taste! Once in a while I will go for black tea with orange or lemon or spices.

 

[Gwen]

I enjoy all kinds of tea. Black, green, white, hot, iced, decaf, herbal, whatever...LOL

My favorite is English Breakfast by Twinnings. A close second is Earl Grey. And when I can find it, I stock up on Yorkshire Gold. Can't find it here unless I go to a British store, tho.

I prefer loose tea to teabags. And I make tea in a pot instead of a cup. I drink my tea with milk and Splenda. So good--maybe I'll go make a pot.

Many apologies!

What is "mate?" Do you mean matte - the tea from Brazil?

 

[Gwen]

I tried matte, and it's the only tea I've ever had that I didn't like. My son drinks it, tho. It's very trendy right now!
