I just have tea. Tiny bit of milk and one sugar, probably in a dirty mug.
I don't think I've ever bothered with loose-leaf, or different flavours or anything. 'Yorkshire Tea' is my preferred brand of tea bag.
 
I used to put Equal or Sweet n' Low in my tea.
 
Not gonna lie im semi addicted to tea. There is something wrong about the substance that in such a way it makes my taste buds scream in joy. I like any kind really hot or cold doesn’t matter. I do have about 13 gallons in my fridge as a type. It’s pretty epic
 
On an oolong kick and picked up some that I haven’t opened yet from a market with a really good restaurant attached to it. Anyone know if Good Young is worth a damn? It’s cheap for Taiwanese tea.

I drink tea every morning! I keep going back to it after I realize coffee makes me sick. I just drink black Lipton tea like the peasant I am. I drink it with almond/coconut tard cum and NO SUGAR ew ew ew. If I drink something like Chai I use Stevia because sugar in tea is horrying to me.

I always wanted to try Hibiscus tea!

Earl Grey is my eternal go-to, it always works and I never get tired of the flavor.

My current and really good method is to fill a sauce pan with water(9dl maybe), put two teabags in it*, put in the right amount of sugar for that volume of liquid and then turn the stove on. 9 minutes later(I use a timer), just when it is starting to simmer, I turn off the stove, run some cold water into it to bring down the temperature a bit, pour a cup and then put the pan back on the stove to keep it warm with the bags still in.
Two teabags is enough, if making another pan of tea when the first one is empty, let them stay in the pan and add a single new one. If making another one after that, throw them away and start with two fresh ones.

I have abandoned loose tea because of my cowboy teapot method that was grown from my "cold water french press" routine for coffee.

People really like the tea and coffee, to their own surprise.

*if the teabags have a string and paper label, just tear off the paper label and put them in there.
 
Reviving this thread so I hope it gains some interest from others.

I started drinking tea in my teens, as a friend of mine loved it and preferred it over coffee. I don't mind coffee, but I sugar and cream it up too much to truly enjoy it. I first really liked chilled fruit teas, and I liked earl grey with two small tea spoons of sugar. Putting cream in earl grey was a tasty discovery too. My relationship with tea really changed when my mom got me a cute mug with it's own tea strainer, and a couple sample bags of loose leaf from Tiesta Tea. Haven't looked back since, I don't need to put adulterants in my tea either.

While Tiesta is good, being able to buy and drink tea from a local teahouse is quite nice too. If you want to switch it up from earl grey I highly suggest this tea from Nepal.

There seems to be a sort of perception that tea is a little gay vs coffee or something because it has a lower caffeine content. Well it's become clear to me that there's a reason the British fought wars over tea in the past.
You know Adolf Hitler used to drink tea every evening in his study, and he was a pretty productive guy.

Everyone these days is an anxious nutcase. Green tea has l-theanine in it that will physiologically chill someone out, and people have recognized that it's incredibly healthy and longevity-promoting for a long time. Decaf green is great at night, it's surprising how effective an anxiolytic it is.

I stick to green or herbal since I don't drink much caffeine, I'm sure black is fine too though.

In my case I didn't really start off with tea until the last few years (partially because it seemed like a trivial drink for women and yuppies), originally I did it more for a little caffeine and purported health benefits, then I realized "This stuff is actually pretty cool. Maybe people all throughout history have been on to something with this whole tea thing".

And now I have to go make tea. It'll be decaf green and liquorice spice I think.
