So, tea drinkers out there, what tea do ya like?
I'm a simple bitch myself. Black, Green and Chai, but it gets me by. My girlfriend is into loose leaf, so we currently have some teavanna blend called Youthberry that's pretty good. Normally I'm not into sweet teas ether so it's a nice change.
So yea, what y'all sippin'?

You're a simple BitchPudding.
I thought this thread was gonna be about a different kinda tea party.
Right now, in the house, I've got some Kukicha, Moroccan Mint & chamomile. (Never really drink the chamomile.)
As far as supermarket tea, I've been buying the Tetley's British Blend.

Mmmmmmm, mint. I remember an old high school teacher of mine made some mint iced tea for the class once when it was got as hell, shit was cash. Definitely need to get some.
Loose leaf in general just seems nice and tastes good. I'm waiting for my girlfriend to wake up so we can have some since she's better at steeping it than me.
Bleh, fuck politics. It's not that I don't wanna be informed, I just don't care. Doesn't interest me unless it directly effects the internet in a bad way.

Green is my standard, but I occasionally enjoy a white.
If I can get some pomegranate in there, that's my choice.

Earl Gray, English Breakfast, and a Dark Orange tea are my favorites. I leave the tea bag in there the whole time (or the loose leaf cup thingy), because I like my tea like I like my coffee. Strong and dark.
Anyone that says iced tea needs a 1/4 pound of sugar in it

Black tea with just a bit of milk and sugar for me. I have some really nice loose leaf Darjeeling that I got as a gift a while back, damn tasty stuff. I enjoy a bit of chai once in a while too but I'm not overly fond of herbal or fruity teas.

I prefer simple tea, but it's gotta be decent quality loose tea. I like green, Earl Grey, and Chi mostly. Mint green sometimes.
I won't turn down a teabag, though.

Mmm hmm. Besides coffee, it is pretty much all I drink... about 3-5 gallons a week.
I add 5 of
these and 4 of
these to 3/4 quarts of boiling water, and then let it sit for 3-6 hours. I add 1/2 cup of sugar, and enough ice to make a gallon.
Delicious.

I've been rocking the heck out of pure ginger herbal tea at work for a few months now. Stuff is so powerful, you don't even need hot water - just swoosh the bag around in a little cold water and then add the rest of the cup. And after a few cups full, you have a nice gingery sludge at the bottom of the cup.
MMMMMMMMMMMM... SLUDGE.
But then, to mix things up, I'll add some green tea or lemongrass every now and then. And I was REALLY into peppermint tea for a while there... I should get some more of that going, now that I think about it...

I made some Starbucks Komodo blend coffee in my french press today. Quite charming.

I use Costco's japanese green tea to make a super concentrated coldbrew, put 20 bags into a 2 quart pitcher of water and let it sit a good 8 hours or so. So heavy a layer of sediment forms at the bottom. A shaker cup full with two scoops of C4 is how I start most days.
