Favorite Kind of Tea?

[David In Indy]

Another tea lover!  In the summer I like unsweetened iced tea, but in the cooler weather I usually have a cup of green tea every night.  I like to put some fresh mint in it. 

David, I used to love to make sun tea!  Maybe I'll make some this weekend now that you've reminded me. 

My mom collects teapots too, Amanda!  I just got her another one for her birthday in July.  It's fun to hunt through small gift and antique shops for unusual ones.

If you decide to make it Marie, let me know how it turns out, okay?

I'm sitting here in my office drinking Darjeeling tea right now!  Yum!  Or as Ennis would say over a can of beans, "Mmmmmmmm".

I don't tea very often....more of a hot chocolate person.

I'm not much of a tea drinker, either, but Earl Grey is good. Beyond that I checked "Other" becuase I didn't know how else to categorize Twining's Irish Breakfast tea.

You could also say my favorite herbal tea combines two of the choices, fruit and spice, because it's Apple Cinnamon.

Tea is my hot drink of choice. I don't drink cold tea. I'm not fond of the taste or smell of coffee.

My favourite teas weren't listed, so I ticked "Other." My favourites are:

* Twinings Ceylon Orange Pekoe Tea (the "orange" relates to its colour, not  the flavour)

* Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea

I'll make anything up to 4 pots of tea a day. I love my tea. It's a comfort drink for me.

I don't collect tea pots, but I do have a nice collection of pretty teacup/saucer/plate sets. The one I treasure the most is a beautiful Salisbury English bone china set, which my dear mother used for her breakfast tea and toast. It was given as a gift to my Mum by my brother (deceased) in the late 1950s and Mum used it every morning from then, right up to her death in 1991. I have it on a stand, in a display case in my living room. I can't bring myself to use it.

I also have a beautiful Shelley English bone china tea set, belonging to my maternal grandmother (1869-1960), which I also treasure.

The teacup I personally used every day is Queen's English bone china, with a Night Scented Flowers pattern. I love it. It's very pretty.

earl grey with milk. I get no end to derision from Dusty for my effete tea drinking habits.

I used to like very much Earl Grey, but what was in it to make it smell like perfume a bit?

I like my tea cold and my coffee hot! Not the other way around like with these people that drink iced coffees' at Tim Hortons. yargh!

I'm also very fond of Twining's Russian Caravan Tea. Yum!

It's bergamot that gives Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas their distinctive, perfume-like aroma.
