Earl grey Black Tea, l sometimes add orange syrup to it or lemon, no sugar, it's great while still hot, it's espacially good with simple cake.

currently making another cup :]

Hmm, I generaly like tea. Not tea expert, but I really do like them. However, Earl Grey Black tea is the only one I would specifically choose not to drink if I had any other random choice of tea flavours.
I also prefer "natural" tea. By this I mean taking leaves or so from plants and boiling it myself. Thus not the teabag stuff. 8)

Yeah, loose tea is considerably better then bagged. I have a French press and tea is much better in it. There are some brands of tea whose Earl Grey tastes like shit.

Actually, I need to order some more tea.

lady Grey > Earl Grey, it's fruitier so one needn't add sugar. builder's tea is supposedly good too, it's double teabags and double sugar with minimal milk (this maximizes the energy rush from caffeine and sugar)

personally I just want some green tea

well l preffer free leaves tea rather than tea-bags, but like Saber said :
Quote from: Saber~chan
Saber: the fragrance is great, but tea bags are more convienient in use.
or something like that -_-

fully agree with her, altough l do preffer free leaves tea, the convieniency of tea bags is also important, it's less cleaning and stuff, you have to trade one thing for another sometimes, l do drink leaves tea as well, but not often,

naah, no cleaning necessary just leave it there... (pun most obviously intended)

Can I share a cup of nice hot camomile instead of black tea? Camomile one is the only one I really like to drink and most of the time drink....

and cookies, can I have cookies with my tea?

Aw man, you guys started without me. :(

Indeed. It really is impossible to go back once you've had loose tea.

lady Grey > Earl Grey, it's fruitier so one needn't add sugar.

Lady Grey is alright, but I've always thought that it was a little too fruity. I like Earl Grey much better.

Can I share a cup of nice hot camomile instead of black tea? Camomile one is the only one I really like to drink and most of the time drink....

If I do drink a non-black tea, it's gotta be chamomile.

As for cake and cookies, I do believe that some are in order.

Mmmmm, tea. Tea is one of my favourite things on the planet.  :D

There are two really good tea shops in my city - one Japanese and one Chinese. I get all my green tea from the Japanese one, nice loose leaf sencha, reeeeally yummy... And I get oolongs and black tea from the Chinese store. All loose, I never ever drink tea from a teabag anymore. xD I've found a couple of good websites I can order tea from if I ever leave Perth too.

I drink more green tea then anything else. Right now I have a little clay teapot full of sencha. I wish I had some red bean jelly to go with it.

Oh, and I have a jug full of iced houjicha (roasted green tea, Japanese) brewing in the fridge. xD
