Do you like tea?

And what is your favorite kind??
I've always hated tea, because i thought it tastes just like hot water to me. Recently I got sick and I wanted to drink something warm, since the only coffee I like is the kind that's loaded with cream and sugar or syrup in the case of my favorite starbucks lattes. Well anyway, those aren't very healthy so I decided to try drinking tea instead. I first tried camomile and mint herbal tea, and I hated it- it had no taste to it only a scent, but the taste was basically hot water uke:
Then I tried this linden flower herbal tea in Bulgaria, and I really liked it, as well as Tazo's wild sweet orange tea which was my favorite. I could easily drink it without cream and sugar, because it had a nice sourness and refreshing flavor to it, and it came out of a tea bag. I haven't been able to find those in the grocery store here though They have Tazo tea here but only a couple of varieties, none of the wild sweet orange kind.
I just got Earl Gray tea to try- and I'll have to see if this one has any taste or if it's just a scent like the teas I'd tried and hated before.
So, anyone else feel the same way about teas?? What flavors do you guys like, I'm curious because I want to find something good

ETA the Earl Gray tea tastes like hot water to me too It has no flavor at all only this pleasant scent.

Try Ross for tea! Thats where I get mine!
I have recently become very addicted to hot tea. but I almost always have to add a spoon full of sugar, but I've been trying to cut back!
I am currently drinking Tea of Life Immune Tea. Its pretty good. kind of has a spicy smell to it. It came in a set with slimming tea, destress tea, and another kind.
I also have Mango Green Tea
Pumpkin Spice Tea
And a few kinds of tea from China. 2 kinds that are oolong type teas and a type of flowering tea, and iron budda tea that I have not opened yet! Gary has been to China twice and always brings back a lot of tea! I am trying to find a nice mug that will allow me to brew loose leaf tea at work!

I highly recommend checking out Trader Joes if you have one near you. Bfs step mother gave me a slew of different hot teas. My favorite is jasmine green tea, I actually add a couple of that flavor to my regular green tea when making ice tea. Ginger pear is ok but very very strong you might like it. Pomegranet white tea is good a nice strong flavor and I only add a tsp of sugar to it. Bigelow teas are pretty good I found them at my local grocery store and they have a yummy orange spice and lemon zest tea in their mix box.

Good luck finding teas, I know not all are good. I haven't found Earl Grey to be too bad.

I do enjoy some teas, though my favorites are probably not everybody's. I absolutely love extra strong green tea. It's gotten tothe point where the bitterness is my favorite part, and it actually feels like it's helping you.

I also like Earl Grey. Mostly I like stong, non-fruit flavors in my tea. Fruit flavors always end up tasting like someone mixed potpourri with hot water.

I drink Tazo's "Awake" tea every morning during the work week. My daughter drinks a Green/Citrus tea. I've always loved hot tea and taught my daughter to appreciate it at around age 2. LOL

My favorite is a red raspberry flavored tea by Bigelow. It has a sharp bitter taste to it, which I love. I also really like "Constant Comment" which is an orange and sweet spice flavored tea which is also by Bigelow. You may like the Constant Comment, it sounds most like what you were describing. We make our sun tea with that every summer, we use Constant Comment and Luzianne tea bags and it's delicious! I tend to prefer fruit flavored teas, and I also like mint tea. Remember with hot tea, to get the flavor you need to let it steep for a while, otherwise you will just get the scent.

Being English liking tea is almost a forgone conclusion Yes, I like tea! Herbal or fruit teas I drink in the office because I always forget either to take milk to work or to bring my thermos that keeps it cool home with me.

My favourite tea to drink at home is Twinings Assam with milk and sweetener. I could drink it all day long.

When I was in Key West last Spring, the owners of the fabulous B & B where we stayed had Twinings English Breakfast (another tea I love). They boiled water especially for me every morning. They knew that I would want the water boiling properly for my tea, not just the hot water in the machine they made coffee with - they were wonderful

I really only like black or orange teas, or a blend. Anything else taste bland or gross. And I absolutely hate green tea - there's some sort of aftertaste to it that I can't describe but I do not like it.

I like my tea sweetened with sugar.

If you can't find the teas you want in stores, order online. There are several sites that carry high quality teas and even import teas.

Yes! I love tea!!

My favourites are "Tetley" and most White Teas. I am not much of a green tea fan because it tastes so bitter to me. But I do love flavoured white teas.

When I drink Tetley, it has to be strong with just milk in it. I like it so strong in fact that I usually leave the tea bag in the cup while I'm drinking the tea.

So far as the flavoured white teas go, I will drink them hot either plain or iced. I've tried putting sweetener or honey into them, but I prefer them just plain.

I absolutely LOVE teas/herbal teals. My Mom got me a whole ton of different kids for Christmas but I am especially enjoying the Hickory Farms teas, so yummy.

Love tea! My favorite is green tea.

GO to Golden Moon tea. They have unbelievable amounts of yummy teas. My current favs are blueberry and wild blackberry. But those are cold teas. For hot teas I like Goji and anything, Blueberry pomegranate, and there's one more but I can't think of the name now.
Try Chai teas, they are stronger and taste fantastic..

Teas are delicious, I love chai tea though, great taste!

Constant comment is the flavor I just had today right before posting in this thread. Lol

I like Bigelow teas they are quite yummy. Their lemon zest one is good too if you haven't tried it.

I love Red Rose tea

I love Tazo Zen green tea. I also love Tazo Refresh

I only like sweet iced tea

I love love love tea!

Try Twinings Irish Breakfast, it's one of the stronger flavoured teas, and my favourite! Use boiling water, freshly boiled from the kettle (don't dare microwave the water!!!), and pour it onto the tea bag, and make sure it steeps for a couple of minutes

Lol maybe my mistake was microwaving the water, oops!!!
I thought it's the same if it brings it to a high enough temperature???

I am a tea snob... Most of mine are dried locally and grown in Japan... I love all the reg and true teas = black , green and white... Plus I love the Non teas like roobios and herbals
