Yeah .. i'm gonna let you pretend you won that one ..
Why thank you. Let's celebrate with a nice cup of t... wait. I don't drink tea. Well I'll just sit over here with a cup of hot-chocolate then...
Good idea! Hot chocolate is so much better than tea =D
Might even be better than coffee
Shh... don't let the tea drinkers hear you say that! They'll be out with torches and pitchforks before you know it, yelling 'Burn the Heretic!'

Well I hate to exasperate the stereotype, but I wouldn't be British if I didn't enjoy a nice cup of tea. Normally it's just plain PG Tips, a bit of milk, two teaspoons of sugar. All tea is nice... Except for the tea from the school canteen. That tastes like sadness.

The little bit of Englishness I have left just died. People suggesting drinking Earl Grey with milk or cream is blasphemy! How wrong. Cream does not go in any tea. Old Liz used to hang people for that! Earl Grey works nicely with a bit of honey though.

I'll take my tea as it comes thanks, not fussy (except if you put cream in it...)!

Unsweet iced tea is to be requested explicitly, and "sweet tea" does not mean 'unsweetened iced tea and a sugar packet.' Your compliance with these standards is appreciated.
Thank You! Aaurgh! I go to restaurants and ask for sweet tea (I'm a Yankee but I have Southern roots and extended family), and they say they don't have it, but they have "unsweet tea and sugar." But you cannot but granualted sugar in iced tea, everybody knows it wont dissolve. You have to use simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar heated and melted down, reducing it to a light syrup). And even then, it's not the same. It has to be sugared immediately upon brewing so the flavors can settle and mature properly. Making plain tea sweet afterwards just isn't the same.

I also like hot black tea, herbal tea, and coffee. I picked up a box of Celestial brand India Spice Chai and it kicks ass. It's spiced, plus its got cloves and menthol and even black pepper.

Back before my cardiologist said "give up caffeine if you want to live to forty" after my heart attack, I used to love green tea straight or with sugar or honey.

Or are you more a coffee person? In which case you can go die in a hole.
You sir, are awesome.

Anyways, I love tea. My favorite is some tea that's imported from Iran. I can't remember the exact ingredients (Nor can I translate all of them into English), but the main ones are Cardamom and Saffron if I remember correctly.

I drink a lot of tea daily (It's my only drink...usually), so I'm usually to lazy to put in any sugar or additives. I occasionally put honey though. However, even though I'm lazy, I prefer my tea as leaves and make it as such.

Earl Grey actually. I like loose leaf but i'll drink it bagged. Also if you like earl grey drink a london fog it's steamed milk, vanilla flavoring, and an earl grey tea bag. It's awesome.

Coffee for preference, but since we're being coffeeist here, I'll take a earl grey from the bag, black no sugar or anything to sully it thank you. Or green tea.

Dunkin' Doughnuts ice coffee for me. Why? Because I'm an American with no taste in coffee whatsoever.

Tea leaves.

Red Hood.

A dab of lemon doesn't make it better or worse, just different.

PG Tips... or Tetley. Or, y'know, Asda own brand (but not the basics kind). Milk, one sugar. Actually, usually one sweetener tablet to save me the effort of finding a spoon and washing it up to measure the sugar.

Earl grey out of the pot, with milk or black, I don't mind. Some of the herbals are pretty good too.
