Plain pure rooibos tea for me. Black and unsweetened. That is what I drink when not drinking alcohol. Lol.

If you drink your tea black, then Earl Grey is the leaf of choice.

Iced tea is an abomination. Even in hot climates there is no substitute for a hot cup of tea - apart from beer!

Lapsang Souchong is also worthy of a try if you like it without milk.

[quote=""IndyBrit""][quote=""adeadmanrunning""]depends soccer do u mean sweetened or unsweetened? me i like unsweetened. but i love ice tea or root bear, since i cant drink alcohol yet.[/quote]

South of the Mason-Dixon line, there is no "unsweetened." There is only tea. Iced, and about 50% sugar. Unless Soccer wants to argue that. :D[/quote]

Yeah, I was gonna ask, what is this "unsweetened tea" you speak of? My wife orders it, but I'm still not convinced it exists..

Interesting that you bring up tea, since I've started drinking tons of it over the past month. I hammer a 30 oz black coffee in the morning to propel me through reading, writing and research, then in the afternoon I fire up a pot of Bigelow's or Twining's Earl Grey or "English Tea Time" blends. There is also a company called "Celestial Seasonings" that makes some nice, noncaffeinated herbal teas. They do make a hearty, caffeinated black tea called "Morning Thunder" that I drink everyday around 2 PM (not the morning... but still thunderous :-P ). After dinner, I drink a noncaffeinated cup or two ("Sleepytime" or "Lemon Zinger" herb blends).

I am basically a caffeine nut. I need maximum nerve stimulation to plow through all the boring papers and cases that cross my desk, not to mention keep my blog productivity at suitably copious levels :D Problem is, sometimes I get so caffeinated I can't go anywhere near AOE 3... I would shake out of my skin if I did!

Nothing like a pot of coffee and then a rated 1v1 QS. For some reason, those just get me charged. Especially when I seem to always draw an Aztec Captain. :(

Well apart from the rumours of drinking a certain brand of ale Badger, one does like a tipple of tea. First of all is it going to be tea bags or tea leaves that is the question one has to ask. Putting milk in some is bloody awful if your going down the Twinning route I would say keep it black. If going for the more normal route ie PG tips, Yorkshire & Tetley use milk.

I even have my own infuser tea mug which is fantastic!

Last thing here is the website of my local Tea shop in Lincoln this tells you a great deal about tea believe me!

Hope this helps and after all this I think its time for a cuppa :)
