Tea

[moosethemoose]

Madura Premium Blend.
White, no sugar.

Thanks go to George Orwell's 'A Nice Cup of Tea' for showing me the error of my sugary ways.

Earl Grey.
Black.

If I'm feeling fancy, I'll whip out my organic Early Grey (and very rarely, because it's 3 bucks a tea-bag... but oh so delicious).

Teaaaaaaaaa!
There's a place that I have to stop at every time I'm in that town: The Ann Arbor Tea Haus (yes, German spelling).
It's literally a wall of silver boxes containing tea that they mix themselves. Greens, Oolongs, Whites, Infusions... oh god, I love it. You can smell and taste them all and buy them in 25g increments. Drool.

One of my favorites there is one called "Father Morgana" (or, at least, it used to be called that). It's a green tea with cranberry and mango. So good! I'm also partial to the black tea with blood orange, yum.

And yes, every tea (except Chai, now and then) is best plain, no milk or sugar added.

Ok, obsession explosion over. If any of you are anywhere near Ann Arbor, go check it out!

You win a million Armadillo Points for not saying "Chai tea."

I. LOVE. TEA.
I like it practically drowned in sugar.

I also love Yogi Tea's "Nighttime" tea. It actually helps me fall asleep sometimes.

Well that would just be redundant...

You wouldn't believe how often I hear people saying, "Chai tea" (and, subsequently, how often I cry).

Direct them to the Department of Redundancies Department!

(Is there a Monty Python thread in the fandom yet? If not, there's about to be!)

Mmm...Chai....

English breakfast.
Three-plus tablespoons of sugar.
Dash of milk.


I was raised on sweet teas, so any other way seems wrong. I'm slowly trying to wean myself off sugary tea, though.

[tastyink]

I love chai ^_^

I also like English breakfast tea. I add soo much sugar, honey, and milk.
And herbal teas, for when I'm trying to force my self to go to sleep. And of course I add milk and a touch of honey to them.

I applied to the Teavana that is opening in my town, but I didn't get the job

[Umbvix]

Oh gosh...I think it was Lady Grey tea that I really liked. But I also like peppermint tea and my friend also had sugarplum tea or something. It was really good, too <3 But I almost always put honey in my tea, if I am able to.

[cyanea]

Roiboos (red) tea. It's not "real" tea, but it's so good with milk and has such a slight hint of nut that I have to keep drinking so I keep getting that flavor.

My boss at work is a tea junkie, and I had quite a few cups of this one "black tea with blackcurrant" from his collection. So good <3. Aside from that, I'm not really a huge fan of black tea. I have a real sweet tooth, and I generally load my black tea with so much sugar that I might as well just drink a soda.

[Olive]

Ooh, currant in black tea! I'm going to have to scout one of those out...

[onlyaworkingtitle]

I like my tea made of steamed milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and hints of cinnamon and vanilla... Mm, hot chocolate... I MEAN TEA THIS IS THE TEA THREAD THIS IS COMPLETELY A KIND OF TEA.

[devilishlybookish]

I love tea. There are two kinds I'll go for on your typical day: Celestial Seasonings "Sleepytime" blend (lots of chamomile, lemongrass, and rosebud), or some PG Tips that I brought back with me from England <3. Regardless of my choice, it's always no milk, no sugar. If I'm out at a place serving different kinds of teas I'll get adventurous, though.
