I generally drink Celestial Seasonings, but this is usually in the winter. I like the peppermint one with either two Splenda packets or one real sugar packet, it tastes great.
One of the nicest English Breakfast style teas was some loose leaf I got in a tea/coffee store in Oxford (specialising in leaf tea and coffee beans).
I need to go there again some time to get some more, it was much nicer than any other English tea I've had. (IIRC it was a standard Assam/Ceylon blend, but they must have picked well)

That wasn't tea. That was adrenaline. In a syringe.
At the risk of offending the many fine tea drinking members of Dakka...I honestly despise tea,well in fairness I'm not a tea connoisseur,but...
Growing up in the South,I consumed enough ice tea to float a battle ship on as a child,and regardless of who/how it's prepared,I simply disliked the flavor..
I've also tried various hot teas and again,don't care for it in the least,the taste is just very unpleasant.
I suppose I could be being overly critical,or perhaps I simply haven't found the "right" tea...but..given my past experiences..I believe I'll remain an uncivilized coffee swiller.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

I just kinda like the flavor of Lipton over most of the "gourmet"
flavors I've had.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Uhhrmm, that sickenly sweet sugar water that some people try to pass off as tea? Drinking that stuff's more like drinking syrup than anything else.
Of course you realize this means war...
How the hell can you be from Houston and like sweet tea? You must have grown up in the pan handle or something. Everyone knows that tea is supposed to be served on ice, without sugar, with a slice of lemon.

I'm both chaotic and orderly. I value my own principles, and am willing to go to extreme lengths to enforce them, often trampling on the very same principles in the process. At best, I'm heroic and principled; at worst, I'm hypocritical and disorderly.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
