You know, I do enjoy a good cup of tea. |

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.

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:

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!

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.

|
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

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.

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.
