Hello! How do you like your tea make? Do you enjoy any particular
differerent style(s) of tea? Do you have milk/sugar/or some other
weird stuff with it?

Or are you more into the 'other' beverage?

--------------

I like the most common one, just good old red label with milk (whole or
semi-skimmed), medium strong, 1 sugar, hot temp.

Just now, I had it with single cream, it tasted quite nice.

I also like mocha (hot temp with whipped cream) in cafe, as I like
someone make it for me...

In a glass! (thought i'd go ahead and get that out of the way...
surely you knew it was coming dee).

I drink mine with tons o' ice, the occasional lemon slice, no sugar,
milk, or any other weird stuffs. Kev

In the early days I'd follow the elders and add a spot of milk. Looked
like a mushroom cloud.

Now it's just green tea (de-caf).

Earl Gray's hot, with 1 packet of Splenda and at least 2 tbs. of heavy
cream.

Or,

Earl Gray's brewed fresh and strong, then poured over ice to make fresh
brewed iced tea!

I'll drink that either sweetened or unsweetened, depending on the mood I
am in.

Good old southern "sweetea".. iced andsweetened with Splenda and served
with lemon slices. Made with Luzianne or Tetley tea. Sometimes decaf,
sometimes high octane, all depending on the time of day of that batch.
We go through at least two batches (about 1.5 quarts each) a day.

Hot: Irish or English Breakfast, milk and splenda.

I used to like my tea with milk and a bunch of sugar... but my mother
persuaded me that if I was going to drink it I should have it plain
rather than covering up the taste, and I gradually weaned myself off
the extras. Later on I switched to herbal tea (lemon tea is my
favourite) and I don't like 'real' tea at all any more... Earl Grey is
the only regular tea I like, and I drink it very weak and black.

What does high octane refers to? I've only heard it used with pianos
:D. Thanks.

Yes, it really depends on the mood and season.

E. G. has always had a weird taste to me -- wonder why? I do drink the
herbal stuff at night (caffeine keeps me up), but I'm partial to
Twining's English Breakfast with milk and sugar. No lemon, thanks.
Used to drink Assam, but I can't find it anymore...

I like Twining's Earl Grey, made with *boiling* water and brewed for about 3
minutes, with milk and 1 Splenda. Or, Red Rose teabags made the same way.
Sometimes in a pot, sometimes in the cup
but the water always has to be boiling. Don't mess with my tea.....

Bergamot, probably. I don't really care for it but once in a while.
