Poll: How do you take your tea?

[Ultracake]

I Don't drink tea.

I do however take coffee enemas. Lol

I laughed and choked on my jaffa cake. You sneaky ultracake, you.


Anyway, sugar and lemon. Tea here is drank with a bit of lemon. The idea of putting milk in it is commonly met with a "Why the hell would you want to do that?" response.

Once again, A cake is saved! *Flies off*

Yum.
Sugar.

With so much sugar you can SMELL it before you put it to your lips. Delicious.

I can't stand tea. It tastes like I'm drinking some boiled water with potting soil.

Nor do I drink coffee.

Hrm... I'm not normal...

 

[blankedboy]

I have milk and two sugars. How vapid of me. :/

Coffee FOR THE WIN

Tea is just water filtered with leaves.

Tea is a subject which is meant to be taken and faced head on. That is to say, tea must be drunk with no additives other than the tea itself. Tea contains many complex flavors, and each must be individually tasted.

Take tea with milk as an example. Tasting it, one removes all airy and oaky flavors from the beverage, and this isn't even counting blends, green teas and herbal teas. Now, take tea with sugar or, alternatively, honey. Well that eliminates complex patterns of bitterness. For you see, the bitterness in tea hits you in light waves, if steeped properly. It is an accent which allows for the airy and oaky flavors to then come in and relieve the tongue. You see, to add these things is to destroy the integrity of the tea itself.

There is then the argument of Chai Tea, which arguably tastes the best when a dash of soy milk is added to it. Well in this case what you are doing is adding an additional accent to the tea, rather than overwhelming it with another flavor. Insodoing you are in fact aiding the tea's flavor rather than destroying it. On the other hand the complex palette that Chai Tea has when alone is somewhat forfeit in this battle. It's something that Tealitists have been discussing for the better part of the last century.

Tea is a wonderful beverage full of a complex palette of flavors. To add one's own is to stop calling tea. So says a Tealitist.

you take tea as serious as i do coffee. as a fellow serious brew drinker i say good on you!
if you ever want to try a good cup of coffee my i suggest Jamaica Blue Mountain. it may cost $60.00 for 16 oz of ground beans but it is the best in my opinion.

Coffee. I only drink three things: Coffee, Pepsi with rum, and Hot Cocoa. No water, no milk, no fruit juice. I consume an average of two liters of coffee everyday. Pepsi-Rum and Cocoa on weekends. I prefer my coffee cold and bitter.

Tea is for ichmen with chipped tin goblin helms.

 

[UltraParanoia]

If I drank hot tea, it would probably be no milk, no sugar like my coffee.

The only thing that goes in coffee is whiskey.

Of course, cold tea is different, then it's SWEET TEA!

Delicious victory.

Strong, two sugars, with the smallest amount of milk. If it is chai tea, then honey instead of sugar.

If I'm sick, then it is black with honey and a thick slice of lemon. That stuff works wonders.

It's been too bloody hot to have tea lately, but now with the cool change, TEA AHOY.

 

[damselgaming]

I like my tea like I like my men. Hot and strong and sweet.
Hey that actually didn't sound ridiculous for once!

 

[Xanadeas]

On the rare occasion when I drink tea I drink it hot with honey. Cold tea tastes nasty. D:
