Being Southrrn I love sweet tea with lemon.But also hot tea,Earl Grey and Jasmine.I also make my own herbal tea from my garden which is a mix of mints,lemon balm,lemon verbena,pineapple sage and others.
You can buy tea in bulk,much cheaper that way.Go to your local health food coop and hit the bulk bins.
Mint fans can grow there own, mint is easy to grow and can be invasive if it’s happy.
Now I’m also brewing my own kombucha.
Years ago the Celestial Seasonings founder worried about nuclear war and bought a cave here to hide out in.He had power and water rigged up in it then decided the world want going to end and sold it.Now it’s rhe Beckham Cave house and was featured on lifestyles of the rich and famous years ago.

I don't drink tea more often. I have it for the health benefits that it gives. I prefer Green Tea.

I drink chamomile tea and mint tea daily and enjoy my tea very much! I prefer tea instead of coffee. Plain with just water and a teabag. If I by any chance have a cup of coffee, I like a drop of milk in it.
Maybe I`m not a very sophisticated tea drinker but I am not unwilling to try new blends and types of tea, I just never buy anything else except my regular ones... There are no specialized tea shops very close to where I live if that is an excuse ;) and I feel I have found my favorites among the ones in the grocery stores. But it amused me to have an advent calendar from a tea shop given to me as a gift with a different type of tea for each day. It was quite interesting for as long as it lasted! :D
I guess I could have been (and wouldn`t mind being) a bit more adventurous and knowledgeable when it comes to my tea drinking, but I just know I will continue to be boringly stuck in my habit for still some time. :D I guess I am a tea drinker with some potential ;)

Yes, I like tea because of the health benefits. I really should drink it more often.

When I was at university, I had a penchant for Russian Tea and Lemon Tea. These days I just drink the very boring 'Everyday' red label tea from ASDA. I have about 6 or 7 cups per day, along with around 5 cups of coffee. That's probably quite a lot.

I used to love hot tea every night before bed.
When I started, it was a hot cup of tea with honey, as I was told that honey helps people relax.
Then I think I drank Sleepytime Tea with honey for a brief period of time, but stopped as Sleepytime Tea is expensive and doesn't come in a big box.
Then it was Sleepytime Tea straight up.
Then I drank black tea with honey.
After a year of drinking tea, I was able to give it up as I didn't want my cousins to laugh at me about it, as I don't hang around or talk to them much and they don't know that I drink coffee and tea every evening.
Part of me knows it's not a big deal, but I think they would laugh at me because I get anxious that if I don't have my coffee at the same time.
But anyway I used to drink hot tea every single night but I only drank like one during the four months I have not had it.

I mostly drink loose tea made in a tea pot. Usually Twinings English breakfast and Assam. I can't stand weak tea, and I don't have sugar or milk.

I can only drink green tea if it's flavoured - either strawberry, vanilla or lemon, and I really like herbal fruit teas.

If I fancy a warm drink in the evening, I just buy Tetley decaf teabags as I think they're the nicest.

I'm drinking tea right now. Lipton Yellow Label. Two bags in about half a litre of water. Normally I do three but I'm running low on teabags.
