You know, I do enjoy a good cup of tea.
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 01:34 PM by Critters2
Sittin' here, at my lunch hour, enjoyin' a steamin' cup of English breakfast. Is there anything better?

I'll never understand why people drink coffee when they can have tea.

1. I've always had tea at breakfast instead of coffee
unless we go out for breakfast. I'll drink coffee then because of the easy refills.

2. I love tea too.
I just have to have my first sip and the world is already a better place.

6. Mmmmm, English breakfast
:9 I actually enjoy both tea and coffee, probably as a result of my parents' preferences (dad's a big coffee drinker, mom loves tea). :hi: My mom and I found this great organic Irish breakfast blend at a local fair-trade store, and my dad's been drinking it too.

...Dang it, now I guess I'm gonna have to go downstairs and make me some tea, Critters2! :P But I can't decide if I want Irish breakfast, Earl Grey, regular chai, coconut Thai chai, apple cinnamon...lol. Actually, on second thought, I might press some African Autumn - it's this really nice cranberry-orange rooibos that my dad bought a couple of years ago. Decisions, decisions! :hi:

7. Me too.
I like to start off the day with green. I like black tea, too, but I really like it with milk and sugar and I'm trying to cut down on the sweet stuff, so I switched to green. Then the afternoon is usually peppermint. And in the evening, it's chamomile time! Mmmmm. Hot tea is the best.

8. Chamomile before bed! Yep!
And when I don't want caffeine, like late in the day, I've been drinking peppermint. Tasty!

9.  good tea
My roommate from Belfast used to get home made tea from his grandmother. It looked like a black thorny bush or a bird nest but it tasted great. I am quite sure it was soaked in whiskey. I haven't had a good cuppa since 2006 on Aer Lingus.

11. tea is more of a comfort thing for me
peppermint or chamomile for an upset stomach or if i'm having a panic attack, sleeptime when i can sleep. i'll sometimes have earl gray or english breakfast if i'm out of coffee or it's upsetting my stomach, but i do love my coffee

12. Every morning
Organic Chai rooibos tea from Trader Joes.
Green Tea mid day
and sometimes a bedtime herbal tea.




I think I may have a slight addiction...

13. I love tea, both hot and iced. But I needs my coffee in the am. Unless I am sick
if I wake up in the morning wanting tea instead of coffee, I know at least a bad cold is coming on and I will be sicker by nightfall. Never Fails.

14. Tea is delicious.
I really like a good chai. Peppermint tea is yummy as well.

Also, I'm somewhat in love with Tazo's Passion Tea, but for some bizarre reason I only like it iced.
