I'm not much of a tea drinker myself, but today I'm enjoying a cup of Chai with milk and sugar. I also like Earl Grey.

And you?

I like sun tea with lemon ,
however it really isn't sun tea it is the cold brew stuff ! you put the tea bags in the jug and put it in the fridge and it brews like that !

Well, I'm form the south so sweet tea is a staple here! I have weaned myself off of it though. I have an assortment of all kinds of hot herbal teas. Just got through drinking a green tea mixed with white tea. My favorites are yogi teas they make for anything that ails you. Bedtime tea is my favorite it has slippery elm bark in it and it really improves the quality of my sleep.

Not sure if I love the tea or the tea ritual. I always set a nice "service" with great tea pots and cups. It makes a nice treat for me.

I drink: White tea, green tea, black tea, Oolong tea, Rooibos (red tea), Chai tea, Dozens of herbal teas. My favorite is the white tea "Silver Needles". So delicate.

Guess that makes me a tea aficionado - in my own mind.

Hope you are enjoying your Chai.

I love Yogi teas too! They are good. I also have some traditional chinese and korean herbal teas from friends that I LOVE. I usually just add a touch of honey, if anything.

Ireland is the new England in terms of Tea Drinking. (The Saxon Nation is Baristas in the brain)

I do drink Chamomile Tea to help me sleep and drink normal tea; nice and strong, that's how we roll; if I'm out of Coffee and need a Caffeine fix.

I used to always drink tea with my mom....I don't think I've had a cup of tea since she passed... Whenever I think of tea I think of her...smile..

I do like plain old tea but I'm more of a coffee drinker...I need a big caffeine fix when I get up

I'm definitely a coffee drinker but having a cup of tea with a friend is always a lovely experience.

Oooooo!!! sonofsitka - powdered green tea - Sencha. I have some on order right now. If you have the whisk and the bowls, I have the Sencha and the bamboo serving tray?

I'm going to have to try some of that Yogi tea. It's got all the good stuff in it.

I'm a tea drinker I've never been able to stomach coffee.

I switched over to drinking green tea a while back and love it. I especially like Jasmine.

I agree the ritual of tea is pretty wonderful.... I don't do it but I love it!

Oh, the fruit flavored hot teas are good too, I like peach or raspberry. They also have one called Throat Coat for when you have a sore throat the helps sooth your throat. They also have this one called Sleepy Time and it's suppose to help you sleep and mellow you out, it's an herbal caffeine free tea.

    When i was in the ER February 16th 2025, i was being admitted to ICU where i was for 3 weeks, then had to relearn to walk for 3 weeks in another hospital rehab floor, the nurse told me something that made me feel for over 18 months now that i was finally *safe*. She told me that the guy who raped and beat me 21 years ago now  almost 20 years at that time, was in prison as of a month before that...
