Green tea, best made with powdered green tea leaves and not crushed leaf packets.
I also like barley tea, used to drink it in lieu of water. I drank both plain.

I like barley tea too- I've been drinking it a lot lately instead of water because I keep forgetting to fill the jugs of filtered water and it disguises the interesting taste of our tap water.

Yeah, barley tea is great for that. I remember when tap water wasn't really considered clean to drink, so it was recommended you boil it. I'm lucky enough right now to live near a natural spring where I can bring my own water bottles and fill them at rates that makes market-sold bottled water look ridiculously expensive.

There is a company around here that installs water machines at grocery stores that filter the stuff about a billion times. It runs 20-35 cents a gallon, depending on where you go.

What's the craziest kind of tea you've drank?

The craziest? Probably "Strawberries and Cream" by Twinnings. It tasted exactly like a Chupa Chup lollypop.

I've always wanted to try tea with an infusion of marijuana hehe

Caught Me Dead

I strangely suddenly now much prefer hot tea over coffee. It's weird.

But lately I've just been putting water into a mug with a Lipton tea bag, leaving it in the microwave for one minute, lifting tea bag to put in 2 spoonfuls of sugar, a little bit o milk, mix it, throw tea bag away, and wala. My tea.<3 It's really yummy to me for some reason.

I tend to like sweet things that aren't really hot. I'm a baby about the hotness.

I can't drink things that are too hot, either. I prefer my tea/coffee/soup/whatever just barely warm.

[Purple Coloured Pencils]

I love black tea.

And Earl Grey.

[Queen Belle von Hellbond]

Being raised in the south, I learned from an early age "If it ain't sweet tea, I ain't drinkin' it!"
Closed-minded? Yes.
Delicious? Darn tootin'!

Apple Cinnamon Spice Tea

It's delicious and smells really good.

:O when i was in china i had this freaky tea (it doesnt have a name, they just threw some mountian shrubbery and rock mold into it) and first i drank it and it was super bitter, but after that they told me to drink water and it was the sweetest thing i have ever tasted even though it was just plain water. That was weird. Yup, my favourite tea!

[CenobiteCreeper]

I am in love with chai tea. And all the different ways to make it. <3

[Blueberriecupcake]
