What kind of tea do you enjoy?

Asked by Mimishu1995 (23626points) October 8th, 2021

I like lemon tea with honey. I really wish I could use honey, but I can’t afford as much honey as I like, so I use sugar instead.

I realize that the kind of tea that goes the best with lemon and honey is chamomile tea. Jasmine tea is fine too.

Lemon tea is great, haven’t had any in awhile though.

None. To me it’s just expensive colored water. I can’t taste it.

I used to like chai because it had a few spices I could taste, and I liked the sugar, but it always gave me a sour stomach.

snowberry's avatar

however I do like coffee. ;D I put a little Stevia in it, which makes it bitter sweet and I can taste it. That’s better than expensive colored water!

Earl Grey is great. But it’s only for cultured people

Green tea. Matcha powder tea is probably my favorite right now. I have some kind of green tea almost every day.

@Nomore we should have a tea party sometime :)

@snowberry I like coffee too. I would like to have a coffee party with you one day :)

@omtatsat I enjoy Earl Grey with milk too. In fact, I have a box of Earl Grey at home.

@Demosthenes yes! Matcha is great too! Too bad I can’t get it these days due to the quarantine.

I could fly over there sometime. If I wasn’t scared of flying. : ) @Mimishu1995

I’m an enthusiastic tea drinker with very little knowledge who should probably experiment more. I recently got an electric kettle again, after my old one broke, and I hadn’t realized how much I missed it. We’re just starting a nice ritual of an actual “teatime” in the afternoons, and I’ve been enjoying that immensely. Especially when there’s cinnamon buns involved.

I like black tea with milk and sugar. Earl Grey, Darjeeling, English Breakfast…I once had some black tea infused with lavendar, and loved that. I also like strong berry tea (blueberry right now). Recently discovered a new flavour called “Morrocan Mint”, which tastes like freshly brewn mint tea, quite intense. And like you, I think lemon and honey work great in some herbal teas. For that, I recommend a mix of fennel, aniseed, and cumin if you can find it. So good.

Just about any kind of green tea.

I like Tazo organic green, Seven Teas organic white peach oolong, and Inko’s organic strawberry white tea.

For a lift in the afternoon, I like a really strong black (I can’t differentiate between, say, Earl Grey and English Breakfast, so I go for an orange Pekoe), for flavor I really like a nice matcha, for soothing I like an array of herbals, and some with white tea in. We have a number of small companies nearby that do some really lovely blends, I can get their stuff at local fairs.

I drink green tea (bi luo chun) and have done every day for years.

I’m a tea drinker. I have up coffee a long time ago. I fell in love with an expensive blend of Chinese Black Keemum and Assam. Then I decided to blend my own, so I buy the 2 separately and have come up with a good ratio to mix them that I think tastes good.

I like many different kinds of herbal teas and drink them often.

I don’t put anything in the tea that I drink. Occasionally I’ll add honey to bring out some of the flavors.

At home, I drink regular black tea (Bromley brand, economical, bought in the supermarket). Sometimes on a winter afternoon, I’ll have an Earl Grey or English Breakfast. Those all I have with milk and artificial sweetener (sacriligious, I know, to have artificial sweetener).

A really nice tea that is great on its own is Honey Bush, which is an African tea which is a little sweet, naturally. Here’s a description, cut and pasted from Wikipedia:

The leaves of honeybush are commonly used to make herbal teas. It grows only in small areas in the southwest and southeast of South Africa and has many similarities with rooibos. Honeybush and rooibos are considered types of red tea.

Honeybush is so named because the flowers smell of honey. The taste of honeybush tea is similar to that of rooibos but a little sweeter. In some rural districts, it used to be common practice to keep a kettle of honeybush tea infusing on the stove ready for drinking while scenting the whole house—unlike tea prepared from Camellia sinensis, the product does not turn bitter with long-term simmering.

I don’t like tea because it seems so bland, but I love the names of tea – oooooolong, Darjeeling, Matcha, Morrocan Mint, Pekoe, Keemum, Fukamushi, Chamomile. They all sound so exotic, and I like the whole tea-making mystical ceremony.

Tea is like yogurt: I want to like it, and have tried to, but it’s just not my thang.

Nestea is my favorite tea. Earl Grey with lots of sugar is my second favorite.

filmfann's avatar

I have simple tastes.
Green Tea and Lipton Black.
I also like weak. Especially iced tea.

ragingloli's avatar

Chai, with 4cm³ of sugar.

Zaku's avatar

Earl Grey
Chai
Orange Spice

But mainly, tasty teas, usually with cream, milk, sugar, and/or honey as fits the tea.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

So far, I haven’t found a tea that I didn’t enjoy. Right now, I’m particularity fond of Chai with a dash of milk.

@Mimishu1995 When we come to visit your country, I will try to bring you some of our bees’ honey.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@Pied_Pfeffer so you are planning to travel? :D

JLeslie's avatar

Basic black tea. It can be Lipton’s or a fancier brand, but typical American tea.

Chinese blacks tea that is served in restaurants. I’ve never found a brand in supermarkets that tastes the same, I would love to.

English or Irish Breakfast tea.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

@Mimishu1995 Yes, but not to your country…yet.

raum's avatar

Love all types of tea. Partial to black tea. And jasmine tea reminds me of holidays at home.
