    I'm a drinker of shit tea - would enjoy trying some good ones
    Shit tea drinker here too. Not much of a coffee guy but usually have a cup of tea at 8:30 and 2 (that precise) and maybe mix a cappuccino in between around 10 or so.

    i usually get some good loose tea at the holidays and will go through that early in the year

    My boss is English and he does coffee before noon and then tea the rest of the day - so yes they drink that much.

    A good loose leaf black tea is the best. For caffeine based tea English breakfast is the way to go - this can then be turned into a London Fog with some oat milk( I'm with lastexitlondon milk is the devil). 

    Having said that a good cup of really good, well roasted - preferably locally - coffee is magic first thing in the morning.

    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Will you have some tea, at the theatre with me?  Don't drink hot tea myself but it is definitely an English thing.  Love this song.

    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I totally hate tea. All kinds, and I have tried a LOT, because I kinda want to like it, since so many enjoy it and it's so cheap, But it's all terrible. Both of my parents drink tea like people in the UK (my dad is from England). My mom will sometimes drink 12 cups a day! It's insane! I spent much of my childhood making tea for my parents on demand, lol.

    Chocolate digestives are awesome though. We always had those in the house when I was growing up too.

    I love tea and coffee.  Depending on my mood I drink whichever.  I don't drink dully leaded coffee anymore.  Makes me too zippy so a 50/50 blend or straight decaf.

    I drink mostly Green tea w honey.  I really like that.

    There is a Ramen spot we go to and always buy some of their floral tea to take home.  The fragrance and the flavor are amazing.

    Jasmine? Once in awhile I like a good strong coffee. But mostly green tea these days. I actually keep a thermos (Hydro Flask, Eco Vessel whatever) of cold green tea by my desk in the summer. Changes to hot around Thanksgiving.

    They have a few different kinds like Violet moon blossom and Rosey delight.  Jasmine is one of them but not as good as these.

    Tea is to coffee as turkey bacon is to the real deal.

    Keep it going! I like Propel in my water, but it is not natural. Tea is an alternative and may have some health benefits. I try to follow a Japanese diet, but every now and then an Italian sub, a stack of pancakes, a good hot dog, a bagel with scallion cream cheese, or a bacon egg and cheese sneaks in.

    Yes. And all the herbals, and the fruity kinds, and the traditional, Indian, Chinese, English, etc etc. They ALL have that basic underlying tea quality that I hate. :(
    Coffee, on the other hand, is delightful.

    I tried green tea once. It tasted like someone took the grass stuck under the deck of my mower and boiled it in water. I had to add a little bit of honey to it to be able to drink it. Maybe it was prepared wrong or was some cheap tea, but it turned me off of green tea.

    Good green tea does not taste like grass. But yes it does make you pee.
