Green tea, or sometimes I like to have some herbal tea. I like tea packets but my british friend likes to make her tea with the leaves. oh and I take a punch of sugar with mine but thats it. Bitter is better :)

Iced tea in the summer, strong black tea in the winter.

*Note for Yankees and those from outside the U.S.*

Iced tea is tea brewed with large quantities of sugar and/or honey (with the possible addition of molasses) for sweetening. It is then (i.e. after being sweetened) chilled and served over ice. 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.
Bah, all that sweetener (By this, I mean sugar, honey etc...) bastardizes the tea! Although, I would like to see what that iced tea taste like.

Normally it's a Breakfast Tea, with just enough milk to change the colour and one and half sugars.

I also frequently have Green Tea. Oh how I love Green Tea.

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.
...But your username is galletea. How could you find coffee better? Blasphemy!

Green goop. I make this by throwing one bag, a pinch of crushed mint, and a little over one half of a small green apple sliced in a cup. Picking out and nibbling on the half-stewed apple bits after you let the cup steep for a few minutes is fun--and yummy.

What if I love both? Should I halfway die in a hole? My favorite tea is probably English Breakfast!

Earl Grey without milk or sugar - but not the tea bags. It has to be leaves. I't might be my imagination, but there's a world of difference. If the choice is between tea in bags and coffee, I'd probably go for the coffee. But I'm somewhat of an insomniac, so that makes sense.

An interesting fact I picked up watching QI - even though many people would say that tea contains more caffeine, this is not quite correct. Tea leaves, per unit of weight, would contain more caffeine than the same amount of coffee beans/ground coffee/whatever. However, seeing as tea leaves are very light, there is actually more caffeine in a cup of coffee than a cup of tea.

Just about any kind of tea (black, herbal, green, etc.) with 1/2 of an Equal/Splenda. The only tea that I will put milk in is Chai. Teabags, because the leaves are a pain to deal with. I consider myself both a coffee and tea drinker. Coffee before noon, tea anytime else. Best of both worlds! :)

Right now I am in love with Vanilla Rooibos tea.

All I really need is an Earl Grey with milk and suger and I'm pretty happy with it.
