I like my tea strong, with a little milk, no sugar. <BR/><BR/>My brand of choice is Ringtons Connoisseur blend, which I have shipped over from England. Expensive but so worth it, I take my tea seriously. And I like to drink from a bone china mug.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I won't give herb or flavoured teas house room. But on your recommendation I will give the green tea a chance - but not first thing in a morning. :-)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580238510653563817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-40749113920156704462009-01-31T14:13:00.000-05:002009-01-31T14:13:00.000-05:00I only drink iced tea, tall glass glass with plent...I only drink iced tea, tall glass glass with plenty of ice, a little sweetener and sometimes a lemon wedge.

I make mine in a Gaggia coffee maker. Cost a bomb but worth every penny. I use M&S espresso or Asda's Espresso Yourself. Both reasonably priced.<BR/><BR/>Have to say I don't like instant coffe.

We only drink coffee in the mornings.<BR/><BR/>George taught me to drink hot tea--since he drank ALOT of tea when he was in China. We drink at least one cup of green tea everyday since it's good for us. But we also drink black tea --and I love the flavored teas. The Pina Colada tea is to-die-for. <BR/><BR/>Caffeine doesn't seem to bother either of us--at this time. SO--we never drink decaf.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-71652397304283012482009-01-30T14:06:00.000-05:002009-01-30T14:06:00.000-05:00I don't drink coffee and very little tea.

My grandmother use to boil her tea and it was so stinking strong you could hardly drink it. When I do have a cup, I drink it straight. It doesn't matter if it's in a China cup or mug.Scrappy quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643346408388508283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-76905695579351431332009-01-30T13:59:00.000-05:002009-01-30T13:59:00.000-05:00I have to admit I drink both coffee (black) and te...I have to admit I drink both coffee (black) and tea from a mug.<BR/>I guess Earl Grey is my all-time favorite tea, although I learned to like green tea as well.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-76643926845526363172009-01-30T13:42:00.000-05:002009-01-30T13:42:00.000-05:00great answers everyone, thanks for commenting,Gill...great answers everyone, thanks for commenting,<BR/><BR/>GillGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-9919373209618417472009-01-30T13:19:00.000-05:002009-01-30T13:19:00.000-05:00I go back and forth between coffee and tea.

It wasn't a conscious choice, it just happened. I bought some green tea at a health festival and it was the most discusting thing I had every tasted. Smelt like cow s**t as well.
