I love teas. I like both loose teas and tea bags. One of my faves of bagged teas is actually from The Republic of Tea and it''s Pomegranate Vanilla. Defiinitely yummy and I take it with no sugar, just hot water and the tea bag. For loose teas, I buy the blends at this place called Hooker Teas and they''re delicious! How about you? What kinds of teas do you like? And how do you take it?
 
Oh, I love The Republic of Tea

I love all of their flavors, mostly the greens. I think my favorite might be blueberry..... hard to choose!

I also don''t use sugar. Just water and usually ice. I drink iced tea like a mad woman.

I haven''t tried the blueberry yet! I''m gonna check that one out next! I do iced teas as well, but I''m still using just a bit of sugar when I make myself a pitcher. Working on weaning myself from the sugars. How did you stop sugar completely? I wish I could do that!
 
I love all kids of tea - our cabinet has about 50 different kinds in it.

Black tea, assam tea and chai I often take with milk, and all other teas I drink straight up without additions.

Its difficult to find a good green tea with low tannin (tannins are what make tea bitter) in North America

.

Celestial seasonings make my favorite herbal and fruit teas, and the London fruit an herb company makes a realy fragrant black current tea.

I love all of the superfruit flavors. I didn''t have to stop using sugar because I''ve never used it. I grew up drinking sun tea that my dad would make right in the pitcher and then straight to the fridge. I was horrified the first time I found out people put sugar in tea! Haha, that''s not helpful, eh?
 
I''m addicted to peppermint tea, as is.

I also love any kind of spice or fruit tea cold.
 
I love iced tea but not hot tea.

My favorites are either tazo passion fruit made as an iced tea

Or Earl Grey made as an iced tea. I add splenda to it.
 
My go-to is boring old earl grey, but I love trying new teas

I don''t like teabags. Loose leaves are so pretty, and I swear the tea tastes better..
 
Jasmine tea.
 
I''m not big on flavored teas - I like english breakfast tea, jasmine tea, and earl grey (double bergamot is the best) and I like them with sugar or simple syrup. Occasionally with a little cream but I wouldn''t put milk in it just to have some white.

Coffee on the other hand I like cream and honey. I hate sugar in my coffee and I don''t like honey in my tea :)
 
I take my tea like a proper Yorkshire lass.

Strong, a bit of milk and no sugar. Tea has to be either PG or Tetley.

And yes, I;m English, so I know what I''m talking about!
 
I like black tea with milk & sugar.
 
I love Irish Breakfast tea, Twining''s Lemon Ginger tea, and at Starbuck''s a Ginger Green tea. Yum yum!

And when I can''t sleep I always have Celestial Seasoning''s Sleepytime tea!
 
Plain green tea is all I drink. I don''t like all of the fancy flavored stuff!

I like my tea with milk and one sugar. I also only like black teas - nothing flavored or herbal for me (don't really like green tea much either).

I like Earl Grey, though I've had some that had waayy to much added flavoring. I'm currently drinking a Welsh Tea Blend. A friend got me a box because it was half in Welsh (I was learning Welsh) and I liked it so much I bought some more on Amazon. It's a pretty typical breakfast tea type blend.
 
Green tea with a splash of soymilk and Splenda sweetener. Yum! Specifically, I love Tazo China Green Tips.
 
I love mint and fruit flavored teas the best and I never put anything in it.
 
Bigelow lemon lift with a splash of milk or a looseleaf breakfast tea I buy at the whole foods market in bulk bags, can''t remember the name. I once watched a Martha Stewart program about tea and she called tea in a bag "floor sweepings" he he! I still love my lemon lift sweepings and all!
 
black, sometimes with a teeny bit of sugar or splenda.

Haha, it mostly is floor sweepings (at least if you get the cheap stuff). I worked for a major tea brand once and there''s a huge leap between quality teas and cheap teas. I do love loose leaf, but I never get around to buying ... it''s hard to find here and I''d have to order online (and buy a tea pot).
 
No milk, no sugar. We have a store called Tea Emporium here, they make their own blends and I have two favs that I drink all the time: one is an Earl Grey with Bergamot and citrus essenses (kinda like Lady Grey), and the other is Earl again but with vanilla and caramel essenses.

Unless I'm making chai, which requires lots of milk and lots of sugar.
 
No milk, no sugar, not boiling hot

Favourite flavours: green, white, peppermint, vanilla, citron

Dislike: chamomille

Ugh. Ditto.

Generally, no milk and no sugar (unless I''m hungry and have no food around or am feeling luxurious) and I can''t really stand fruit flavoured teas hot - cold is ok though.
 
I like a big thick pottery mug of cheap teabag tea, with skim milk and no sugar. If I''m out somewhere nice, then jasmine tea with a slice of lemon.

I LOVE Lipton iced lemon tea, the sugarier the better. Don''t think you can buy it in the UK, but I used to spend summers with family in NYC as a kid. This is my taste of childhood, along with oreos. It came as a powder in a huge container and even when I''ve brought some home with me, it doesn''t taste the same here. NYC water must be different! Oh how I loved that stuff.
 
I love tea. The best one is one that's a detoxer (I don't think it does at promised but tastes good). Also peppermint and ginger tea. Always take it very strong (keep the bags in for 15 min.), no sugar. . .just plain from the bag.
 
I love tea!

My favorites is Harney and Sons, but being able to customize my blends through Teavana is really nice as well. I like Republic of Tea as well, and Mighty Leaf too.

I love a really good Earl Grey as a basic black. But usually drink some sort of lower caffiene or caffiene free fruity/herbal tea and stick to Earl Grey and black teas in the mornings.

In terms of how I take it... as hot as the tea can tolerate without burning. Usually I take a sweetener, but if I'm having the tea with sweets or if the tea is really fruity then no sweetener. As for sweetener, I'm not too picky. But my favorite is raw sugar... although for calories I don't indulge in that too often.

I also ice my tea pretty often... though not black teas as a rule. Mango Ceylon from Republic of Tea is the one black tea I really like iced. My favorite iced is African Autum from Harney and Sons.

My favorite tea, hot or iced right now is ...Tarocco Ruby Orange Herbal Tea mixed with a Rooibos of some sort from Teavana. I generally can't stand Lipton or Orange Pekoe of any sort.

first of the day is generally a black tea or blend thereof or a chai with honey.

2nd cup is w/o honey and might be a matte.

anything after that is w/o caffine......and straight.

ICED and unsweetened.
 
I just use regular old orange pekoe most of the time. Is that the same as English breakfast tea ('cause I like that too)? I do love peppermint also. I use milk and sugar, but if I have to go without milk, that's okay. I always think I'm going to like berry flavored teas but I never do. I have a box of some type of berry tea in the pantry and I only used one bag.
 
I take mine with just hot water and a side of chocolate

When I drink tea it is just hot water and I only drink kava tea before bed, it helps me fall asleep

I had some yummy tea when my friend took me to the spa before our wedding and they had pomegranate vanilla
