I do loose leaf as well. It's just not as convenient, so I find myself having it less often.

I'm not a tea snob, though. I just enjoy it. Good is good.

Bigelow is just my favorite among 3-4 different varieties of Earl Grey that I've tried (bagged, that is...I agree that loose leaf is somewhat its own category).

Alongside Orwell, see Douglas Adams' views on tea- you may remember you were impressed with his spiel on atheism I linked you to months back.

I've got a water heater that I can pour onto the tea as it's still boiling (though not always as violently boiling as it is at its peak). So this is comforting to me.

I don't drink tea because I find it nasty. I will note I don't drink coffee either. But no tea..my parents drink ice tea all the time so whenever I go over there I have to drink either that or beer, so I go for beer. Captain Picard seemed to love Earl Grey so I tried it once...it was an unpleasant experience. Picard let me down. The only hot beverages I like to drink are hot cocoa.

I did drink Snapple when I was a kid though.

Tea is not mutually exclusive with beer, as the English can also attest to. If I'm out, I'll generally go for beer as well. Tea is more of an at-home experience, especially since I tend not to keep alcohol in the house.

Though back when I had my first back surgery(I was 18) I did drink chamomile tea to try to get to sleep. But to be fair the box also had bears in pajama's on it. Those bears..what made them so tired?! Was it the tea? How'd they get it? Did they kill someone for it?

😂

I did have some long island ice tea once, but I really don't drink booze unless it is beer. At the grocery store today they did have a bunch of pumpkin flavored tea and coffee.

Bagged or loose leaf, I've recently discovered them, and it's really good tea. I can only speak to a few varieties, but it gets my 👆

It's the best! Rich and tasty

peppermint tea when in general

mango tea when in a test

Sage tea when sick

that is all

Brisck Iced Tea is the best!!!!

Just kidding I enjoy tea here and there but I don't really spend on it. Although with the colder temperatures around the corner I might get some for a warm beverage.

God help me, Starbucks has some decent tea. I love their Earl Grey. And you can cheat and get the Grande (medium). With the smallest, they use one bag. With Grande, two. So it's by far the strongest of the three sizes. I'm a smart spender, though, so I use the free stuff we get at work. Lipton, which is meh, but they'll occasionally have more exotic stuff for us. Most in my office are coffee drinkers, so I basically have the tea to myself.
