Hello everyone! I just wanted to talk about something I love very much...tea!
I drink tea all the time--when I wake up, when I paint, when I read, when I play video games, when I watch movies. I have loved tea since I was just a child, especially hot tea. Tea is not only positively delicious--I've always found it inspiring and calming. Not only does it help me feel more positive and centered, I have always felt that drinking tea gives me a connection to the world.
(I recently found some of Bigelow's "Lemon Lift" tea in a sampler box I bought...and it's WONDERFUL! It's very fresh tasting, but still bold.)
So...do you drink tea? What tea do you drink? When do you like drinking tea? Is there anything else we can say about tea?
Thank you!
Ibs

Hahahah
Well this is rather 'refreshing' and interesting topic to talk about... xD
So i guess to answer your questions...
1.Even though i don't love tea as much as you do i still do like it...
2.The company which has the best tea (in my opinion) is Franck which is also one of our country's major companies...
I especially like their apple-cinnamon and vanilla-strawberry tea! biggrin
3. I drink it whenever I'm not lazy enough to make it... XD
4. I dunno... you tell me? It's healthy? xD

I'm not a very big fan of tea.
In fact, I really kind of despise it.
The only tea that I think is all right is raspberry iced tea. Otherwise, I'm really not into drinking it unless it doesn't taste anything like tea.

Hmm, I haven't heard of "Franck"...but apple cinnamon tea sounds delightful! And I'm fairly certain tea is healthy...it's really just flavored water.
As to sex.drugs.and.rock, I'm sorry about your feelings for tea. Alas, not everything is for everybody. In any case, one specific kind of tea is better than no tea at all!!

Don't get me wrong, I really wished I liked tea. Maybe I'm just trying the wrong kinds.
I feel like a nice hot cup of tea would be rather soothing if I liked it. It would sure make me feel better than a cup of hot chocolate.

Yes, I drink tea.
Earl Gray, Spiced Chai, Ginseng, Jasmine, and I've tried a few others, but those four are the four I drink most often.
It depends on my mood for when and what type of tea I drink. Usually when I'm relaxing late in the afternoon, Earl Gray. Just before bed, Jasmine. In the middle of the day, Spiced Chai(usually in the form of a latte). When waking up in the morning, or needing some more energy, Ginseng.
I don't use sugar when sweetening tea, or when I do I don't use much with the exception of Spiced Chai which requires sugar when being turned into a latte. Mostly I use raw honey for sweetening tea.

Earl Gray tea is delicious. It is a great relaxer. I usually use sugar, but sometimes honey helps to add just a little more depth to the flavor--like in a vanilla-chamomile tea that I've had before. It's delightful. :]
It's awesome when you can work tea into a routine.
sex.drugs.and.rock, maybe you need to start some sort of tea-training regimen? Haha >.< You know, start out with some simpler, more tolerable teas and progress onward. biggrin That would be fun. But, maybe a little time consuming? Anyway, tea is an acquired taste for most. Just keep trying!

I'm mostly in for green, white and oolong myself. Also, a good English Breakfast is always nice. Regardless though, if I drink it hot it's always unsweetened with no milk or cream. All bets are off if it's iced though - flavors, sugars, whatever. biggrin

I love tea! In the winter, I drink hot tea all the time. (Bigelow's green tea, with a bit of honey).
Since it's the summer, I've started making iced tea. But, I find I don't like to drink it as much as hot tea. (though on a hot day, it's exactly what I need).

I was going to make this thread! (Well I was thinking about it at least.)
I love almost all sorts of teas and/or tisanes.
I like pekoe and earl grey tea, but lately I've been trying to wean myself off of the caffeine stuff a little.
Green tea is also nice, especially when it has jasmine in it.
I've always drank some kind of herbal tea, like chamomile, Sleepytime Tea from Celestial Seasonings and honey lemon ginseng - until the company started using white tea leaves which I swear changed the taste.
Lately I've been trying more unique ones.
I get some detox teas occasionally. They're not that tasty, but it's okay to drink every once in a while when I have a stomach ache. Actually, I might drink some now.
I just bought some roobios tea recently along with a different type of sleep tea which tastes strongly like roses from Tazo too. Both are pretty good.
I usually skip the sugar on all of them anymore, and I use almond or soy milk to make the red teas not so strong on occasion.
MMm tea.

You srs?
Earl grey makes me completely wired. It used to be, when I drank a cup with two bags of it, I'd get so shaky I almost couldn't concentrate because of the mass amounts of caffeine. Normally, one bag would just keep me up for the day if I didn't get a lot of sleep the day before.

Yeah, haha. Caffeine doesn't affect me, but I have some that's decaffeinated anyways. And I have to say, I agree with you on the Celestial Seasonings tea. The taste just barely changed. But I still like it smile
