I like all kinds of fruit tea best.

[sabotabby]

I'm mostly a coffee drinker (6-8-cup/day habit) but I'm way less picky with tea. My weakness is London Fogs or London Ontario Fogs.

[conuly]

Never even heard of it...!

[conuly]

You and the girls would get along!

[sabotabby]

Oooh, highly recommended. For a regular London Fog, picture a latte (I get it with almond milk), but instead of coffee, it's Earl Grey tea. There's some kind of flavour shot too—I think vanilla? Generally you'd put caramel on top; I put cinnamon.

There are a whole bunch of variations. Dirty London Fog is the same thing with a shot of espresso. London Ontario Fog has a shot of maple syrup.

[conuly]

Jenn likes Earl Grey a lot. I'll recommend it to her!

[hamimi_fk]

I've been pretty much an equal opportunity consumer of tea though I prob have a lot more kinds to try (and variations!), but generally I like green tea best. =) (Sugar and honey is a must!)

And sometimes, in the absence of something sweet to add to my coffee (it has to sugar or I can't drink it, milk/creamer/half-half too but can be optional), I've substituted honey. It's not too bad. =)

[julian]

I like hot coffee in winter, and cold in summer.

[conuly]

I read that backwards at first and was moderately perplexed.

[conuly]

Honey is always not too bad.

[kshandra]

I was looking for a seasonally-dependent option to that question, as well.

[kshandra]

Does rooibos count as an herbal or not?

[conuly]

Anything that is not actually tea is an herbal infusion.

[julian]

Snerk.

[konsectatrix]

Milk and honey tends to happen with a strong black tea or oolong. I brew my tea as strong as possible and drink multiple cups a day.

Green teas and ginger infused black tea get honey only.

I like sweet tea and had to learn to ask for it specifically; a lot of northern iced tea is unsweetened and this is disturbing.

Coffee is typically passed up, altho I will occasionally have a bit of coffee in my cup of cream and sugar.

Chai also happens, especially in winter. It must be brewed in milk, and should be spicy and sweet.

I forgot that I like to brew sage and lemonbalm with honey sometimes before bed, so I guess I should have ticked the herbal option, tho there's no actual tea in that.

[konsectatrix]

London Fogs are delicious! I got a milk frother just so I could make them at home (then I started adding foam to my chai as well.)

[archangelbeth]

Where is the option for "Why doesn't coffee taste like it smells? Gah, gah, get that nasty taste away from me"? *sniffle*

[wendelah1]

I'm from California so I love iced tea but I also drink hot tea. I don't want to have to choose but I guess iced if I am forced to do so. Why can't I have both?

I like everything. Except red wine. It give me heartburn.

Not that you asked.

[pauamma]

In addition to coffee and water, I also drink grapefruit juice.

[gatheringrivers]

Depending on the tea, I use
* (Lemon OR cream OR coconut milk) AND stevia
* Stevia AND vanilla AND (lemon OR cream OR coconut milk)
* Stevia only

All depends on the underlying bitterness, "woody-ness" or sweetness, respecitvely. (One of the teas I like is Yerba Mate, and that has a very strong "wood/bark" undertone, which I've found vanilla can mask.)

[firewhispers]

I love coffee. My day doesn't start until I have my cup of coffee, lol.

[conuly]

Yes, most herbal "teas" aren't really tea at all, but people get pissy when you point that out, even the people who are all "raaaaar, decimate means destroy one tenth!" and whatever.

[conuly]

That's why I don't like coffee.

Oddly, coffee ice cream is okay. Not my favorite thing ever (that's mint ice cream, or maybe ginger or cinnamon) but still.

[conuly]

Because if you have both then what you've really got is lukewarm ice cream. Who do you think you are, Goldilocks?

[conuly]

Sorry, couldn't squeeze that in.
