This grieves me as a proud Brit, but I am unable to perceive tea as more than the virginial muddy water whose sole purpose is to serve as the inadequate counterpart to the coffee chad.

I like tea, but prefer coffee.

NO WAY! GASP* 0_0

But you hail from the United Kingdom... is this not considered a form of treason? =)

Does coffee not come from beyond the Isles British?

I am a purist when it comes to tea; no herbals, no flavored teas, just strong black brewed from tea leaves tea without milk, sugar, or other adulterants. I do not, however, put down enthusiasts of other forms of tea, I merely feel sorry for them as they have not yet matured their taste.

My personal favorite is Lapsang Souchong tea, a smoked tea with a unique taste. For everyday drinking, I go for a good strong mug of Irish Breakfast.

Milk in tea? In execrable!

I like normal, plain 'ol tea.

Get a ceramic cup. Two sugars in, tea bag in, boiling water in, stir the tea bag till the water goes a nice tea colour, remove tea bag, add milk till it goes to the correct colour (knowledge of tea colours, is a British art), stir and drink

Not as much as water. Every single imperialist in history loved and regularly consumed water. It's the devil's drink.

I am terribly fond of Jasmine tea, but also peppermint and green tea too.

Better dead than red!

Better drowning in the sea than drinking tea!

Currently having some peach tea/ginger mix tea with honey. My throat is very happy about this combination.

I like my tea without sugar or milk. But sometimes I put milk or sugar because it is basically black tea.

While I am a card carrying member of the coffee cabal, bourbon is frowned upon at work.

High mountain Oolong for me

While I prefer my tea strong and black, I know that it is heresy punishable by death to put the milk into the cup before the tea. What I do not know is why? Can anyone explain, or is this just a religious mystery?

Tea is great, especially green tea, darjeeling, and lapsang souchong. Hot and with nothing added, just the water and the tea leaves. If it does not taste good by itself, then you need to get better quality tea.

Oolongs for this thread more than I?
