How do you take your tea?

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.

(small amount of sugar, Sorry Cap'n)

[–] fl_sp@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

Green, any herbs in are fine, no flavorings.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.

[–] TommySalami@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Sweetened, doesn't particularly matter with what. Though I think my favorite has been a honey/citron/ginger tea from Costco. No caffeine, but the flavor was immaculate.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

hot, straight, not oversteeped, served in a small Asian-style teacup without handles

I mostly drink either a strong black tea blend (something that is neither too malty or astringent) with a bit of milk and sugar, masala chai, or a Chinese green tea like a Tie Guan Yin or a jasmine pearl.

I also love a good bubble tea, usually a simple pearl milk tea with less sugar.

[–] CaptnKarisma@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Black tea is good, I leave the bag in the whole time

[–] kindenough@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Classy with the pinky up.

I have something to say that will change the way nearly every American on Lemmy will perceive the world

I dont like tea... and I'm a brit.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Cold

I’ll go half and half with fruit juice and a strong black tea

Or do Thai iced tea

[–] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Personally, I only drink iced-tea. I just can't handle bitterness at all, and I prefer cold drinks to hot ones anyway.

I've found Peace Tea is the best, but its kinda expensive, so I tend to buy those big tubs of GoodHost IceTea powder and make a jug of the stuff every couple days.

Large cup, ^4^/~5~ black tea, ^1^/~5~ milk and a small spoon of honey.

[–] theRealBassist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Mostly black, but after living in the UK for awhile I got used to doing a touch of honey and/or milk.

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I like mine bitter, idk why but I like water that's bitter but hate bitter on everything else

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Strong black tea with a wedge of lemon (but I messed up my teeth so now lemon would make them very sensitive).

White tea. A blend of jasmine silver needle (floral, fragrant) and darker mou shei to balance it. Plus ginger and lemon zest.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Straight from dried leave to water.
Rarely with additives.

[–] sunbunman@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Depending on the tea, usually I like it plain no sugar, no milk. But I do make chai almost everyday with 2:1 milk to water and some ginger or cardamom depending on what I feel like. Also a fan of milk teas.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yorkshire Gold, 2 sugars, small splash of evaporated milk.

I of course have a deep love for coffee, I am always trying to get myself more into tea but usually it just doesn’t do it for me.

I do like green tea quite a bit though.

Any recommendations for non-dairy milk that goes well with black or green tea?

Earl Grey with honey and oat milk. Orange Pekoe/English Breakfast with sweetener and oat milk. Chai with milk. Or a straight herbal tea

[–] emmie@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I like my tea red with a taste of fruits and natural sweetness

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago
[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As something like boba or oolong.

2 decaf and 1 caf Lipton bag in a pot of boiling water, let it steep for 10 minutes or so, then pour the lot over ice into a gallon pitcher and fill it up the rest of the way with cold water. I then pour it into a glass of ice and drink about half a gallon a day.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Milk and sugar. In the UK they'd refer to it as "builders' tea".

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends how many sugars. At least three heaped teaspoons should qualify, two is borderline.

Good leaves on the right temperature. Nothing added. Tasty, healthy, and calorie free.

Unless making very specific a milk tea, then add milk. Don't do it too often, it ruins the last 2 points mentioned before.

I was going to make a joke about this being a trick question, as caffeine is poisonous to lemmings, but my preliminary research suggests that rodents and humans have a similar tolerance.

I'm not a huge tea person but I've always liked the celestial Tiger tea with milk and honey

Preferably liquid, but I wouldn't say no to solid or gaseous forms. Would probably not try to ingest it in plasma form.

Hot. No sugar. Black as my heart.

Yes I was an emo during my teenage years, how did you guess?

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Iced and with a moderate amount of sugar

Either Earl Grey with no milk, no sugar, or (for different reasons) Hōjicha which I got a taste for when I visited Japan so much that I now import it.
