The coffee at my office is awful-too watery so I'll usually drink tea.
I don't like the herbal one however-I go for caffeine.
But I'm willing to try new types.
So what kinds does everyone drink?????
Right now I'm finishing a box of Jasime Tea and have some Tazo "Zen" green tea. I've tried an aged Earl Grey that wasn't bad either.
What about gunpowder tea.
Tea bags or loose tea??

I drink LOTS of iced tea. Usually just plain tea, none of this new herbal stuff. I make my iced tea with loose tea, not bags. I also like the green tea as well.

If I'm making sun tea I'll throw in a couple bags of green tea for the "health benefits".
I bet in the summer I could easily drink a quart of plain iced tea.

I do NOT drink the green tea & peppermint stuff I bought; it tastes like a freaking leaf!!!

I steep it, cool it down, and put it on my eyelids.


The tea I do drink, which is only when my throat is sore, is this herbal expressions stuff, orange & spice & everything nice. THat's what it's called, I think? If you take it & put a drop of honey & some lemon in it, you get a powerful elixir for a sore throat.

But other than that, it's coffee all the way for me. I make the coffee here at work so it's just how I want it, and the guys have all grown used to the coffee being so strong and bold it makes them say "whoa". Weak coffee sucks!

I LOVE hot tea! Every morning I have English Breakfast tea with breakfast!
I also like:
Chai (currently I have Masala Chai from a place here in Orlando called Teavana)
White Tea (though it's generally more expensive)
and fruit flavored teas! We have a mango tea at my place right now that is pretty good and a while back my roommate bought me some strawberry tea that was JUST delicious!!!

Tea bags or loose leaf are fine for me! Though I honestly think it tastes better when it's loose leaf. Just a difference in freshness perhaps? The chai I have right now is a loose leaf.


I'm a tea fiend.

Loving my beautiful baby girl
I have herbal tea every night. Susan is about to be so sweet to broaden my horizons by sending me a beautiful China tea cup with some of her favorite tea so we can have tea together!
I'm so excited!

oh, I'm a tea freak


I love the Tazo teas that you can get at Starbucks and other specialy (haha, special - tea)
stores. The passion tea also makes a great iced tea--especially combined with island rose orange fountain tea.

I enjoy mixing them up too--one Bigelow french vanilla tea bag with one blueberry tea bag...mmmmmm

I don't particularly care for iced tea, but like most of the Stash, Twinings, and Celestial Seasonings teas hot, both herbal teas and regular. Chai, green tea, peppermint, chamomile, Irish breakfast, English breakfast are all among my favorites. I usually drink those with caffeine during the day and the herbal teas in the evening. I used to prefer only the loose tea, but since I like to get every minute tea leaf out, I've switched to tea bags in more recent years. Forty years ago most of the tea that came in bags was, well, YUCK!

Me! I'm addicted


I love tea, and hate coffee. I usually drink just Lipton's regular, that's my favorite. but i'll drink any tea if i have no choice. Plus, out of soft drinks, i only drink iced teas, no sodas for me.

About 2-3 cups of hot a day, and 2 at least of iced, if you can believe it

I just drink iced tea. Usually Nestea or Safeway Select Ice tea. I really like peach flavored iced tea,
but it is expensive, so I stick to whatever's on sale.

I am nuts for tea - I recently discovered rooibos (red bush) tea and I am addicted!!!!!! I drink ANY kind of tea except for rosehip, not too crazy for that one.

Next time I go shopping I'll look for the Tazo passion-I bet it would be good iced and that Red Bush-is that a brand or a variety???

I am a tea person. I drink them hot or cold. My favourite is all kind of green tea. I regreted not buying a big box of green tea when I am in Japan.
