- do you drink tea
yum_tea I have thirteen...no, wait, fourteen boxes of tea in my cabinets. Most of them are at least half empty, others have even less left, and only one is still mostly full. It's safe to say I drink a fair amount of tea.
- what type of tea do you drink (ordinary, bog standard tea, Earl Grey, fruit tea etc)
yum_tea I prefer black teas, but I'll drink white and green teas as well. I'll also drink herbal tisanes, which aren't proper tea, I know, but can be enjoyed in much the same way. I tend to go for the pricier teas because I've noticed that cheap teas like Lipton or Red Diamond have a funny taste to them, like they're stale or something. I mean, I'm not quite to the point where I'm paying $200 for a pound of tea, but like...$6 for a small box of green tea is pretty average for me.
- what makes the perfect tea for you
yum_tea The perfect black tea, for me, is a strong cup of Earl Grey with a little bit of milk. I also really like to brew my favorite green tea (Numi's Gunpowder Green) together with my favorite mint tisane (Numi's Morroccan Mint); it makes a tasty and refreshing brew that's great hot or on ice. If I'm feeling sick, I brew a bit of chamomile tea with some organic honey.
