I was a member of this party for the first 20 years of my life, but have since rebelled and joined the Coffee Seperatist Party.

Coffee separatists? You fascist!

Not so much a Fascist as an one wishing to distance myself from tea in all it's forms.

I'm drinking my large Iced Coffee from Dunkin Donuts as we speak.

Viva La' Revolution!!

I have always enjoyed a good cup of tea. I was demoted to associate member once I realized that Jameson was not in fact Irish tea, but rather a good, Catholic whiskey.

Or maybe we shouldn't.



I drink Russian Caravan, whenever I remember to add it to the shopping list. Nothing fancy though, just . And I drink it all wrong, because you are not supposed to drink it with milk, but I do because I think you get a smokier flavour. When I've had it in teahouses a couple of times I've had great fun offending the waitress by ruining my Russian Caravan with milk.

I'm a simple tea man. I actually prefer Liptons or Red Rose over any other type. I also belong to the Northern Contingent of the Sweet Tea party.

Green tea is my favorite
That and the constant beverage of fine grape juice.

No one likes the tea partiers.
Thats why I like drinking tea.
Because the tea partiers are ruining my tea!

I love tea by the way it makes me go all looppy and insane.

.. Aha, See..no one ever "coffee bags" anyone.

I only drink tea from Long Island, with ice.

Anyway, never met one in my life (being in Britain and all) but from what people say, arseholes. Aren't things lovely when they're in black and white?

In response to the first part: No.

In response to the second part: so you don't know any tea partiers and you're taking other people's opinions of it (presumably the anti-tea party crowd), to conclude that they're "arseholes".

Classy.

Back on topic: I don't know why, but I find coffee terrible. It's bitter and horrible, and cream and sugar just make it worse.

I just drink my tea straight, no honey, milk or whatever. Anyone else have preferences?

I drink tea, coffee and scotch without additives.

The Tea Party is a simple group that decides to properly use their right to protest. They don't cause a ruckus, they're just a group of people sharing the same ideas and concerns.

Everyone else just blows it out of proportion.
...because ya know, the Tea Party is what we should really be worried about!

Just a little splash of skimmed milk.

Well, as you know we tea-partiers are a religious bunch so I herefore layeth down the Tean Commandments:

1. Sweet Tea is the God of all teas, having brought us out of the land of summer torment, of the house of unquenched thirst. On hot summer days thou shalt have no tea before it.

2. Thou shalt not make for yourself false teas or imitations. Instant teas are an abomination unto my sight.

3. Thou shalt not imbibe sweet tea in Maine.

4. Remember the weekend and keep it holy. Moweth not thy lawn, nor stoke thy grill without sweet tea in hand. Do no work nor chores save for the brewing of sweet tea.

5. Honor thy mother and thy father, that thy days may be long upon this land that hast given thou sweet tea.

6. Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt rather sit down, drink sweet tea, and reflect upon the joys of life.

7. Thou shalt not commit adulteary.

8. Thou shalt not steal sweet tea. Thou shall drinketh only that sweet tea which thou hast brewed by the sweat of thine own brow.

9. Though shalt not bear false tea to thine neighbor's barbeque.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's sweet tea.

Are you one? Do you know any? What's your opinion on the party?

This is a tea based thread. I love tea. Forget my earlier remark. I like Sobe and Arizona, but my tastes aren't very restricted. I like all teas.

I don't know any Taliban members, and I've taken the opinion of the 'anti-Taliban' crowd to conclude that they're arseholes. Your point is?



Not too picky with my tea, by the way.

4.b. One must always use a covered Tea conveyance system whilst moweth-ing thy lawn, lest thou wishest to have grass clippings inserted into thine sweet tea.
4.c. Additives, such as grass, or otherwise not required for the creation of the perfect, and holy brew of sweet tea are henceforth seen as heresy, and punishable by dunking in boiling water.

I enjoy EasyWay teas...

A great summer snack consist of a hebrew national hotdog, and a tall glass of luzianne unsweet tea, 3 bags per pitcher, so it's strong.

Dogma wins the thread

I finally found out what he is saying, he wants to gather a group of these political protesters.

I'm more focused on my chasing of american dream to protest.

I generally go for Pu Er Chinese tea when it's available.

Otherwise, one of the usual English Breakfast / Assam blends is good enough. I actually quite like an Assam/Ceylon blend from leaf tea I had for a while.

Give me hot green tea or give me death!

This is an excellent thread to read before going on my tea-break. I shall now indulge in a mug of black English Breakfast with a Toffee Crisp. The gentleman's choice.

I love me a good earl gray or an english breakfast, but it's so bloody difficult to find full leaf teas in phoenix, its all bags. It also took me ages to find a proper tea pot.

I prefer Assam or English Breakfast, myself.

In light of certain posters on the OT, no sane tea party supporter would discuss it here.
So back to Tea, Chai, Ambrosia, transport medium for pure cane sugar!

Help me out. Whats the difference?

If you get good quality tea-bags, minimal.

Tea bags and coffee powder are only used by those who have strayed off the righteous path of the Caffeine Gods. Their intentions are noble but their ways are heretical.
