Tea

Post by Ylva Kresh »

I love tea. I am addicted to tea. No sugar. No milk. Just hot water. And tea.

After drinking stuff like Earl Grey, Assam and Darjeeling for ages, I have now found the ultimate blend: Earl Gray, blueberries and grapefruit (those flawoured teas). It is perfect!

It is an interesting fact that tea rhymes with a verb that you have to do after drinking too much of it.

I like my tea to be a blend of orange with cinnamon. But I don't usually remember it's in the cupboard, so I don't get it much.

Chai Latte all the way. Spice or Vanilla, it doesn't really matter.

Are the British people the only ones who drink just plain tea, from a packet that just says "Tea" on it? :?

I like tea. Tea is good. Earl Grey tastes like lemons, but I can tolerate it. Apparently, the UK is about the only country in Europe that has milk in tea as standard :?

There still are some "generic tea" around here but it is getting rare. The teabag is an endangered species;)

For me milk is necessary for the proper enjoyment of my cup of tea... otherwise I'll scald my tongue...;)

Half of the pleasure with tea is that you warm your hands on the cup while it cools down to the perfect temperature... It really gives a heartwarming feeling too, just to hold the cup.

I've always drunk tea with milk and sugar, although lemon and honey is better for a sore throat....

I've never drank tea with milk. :?

Probably wouldn't like it, since I don't like cream in my coffee.

With sugar or honey, tea's great.

MMMMMMM. Scalding hot tea with a bunch of my neighbor's homegrown apple/peach blossom honey from the orchard across the street.
Warms the hands, soothes the throat, and the steam clears the sinuses. 8)
But I can't handle milk in my tea. I love to drink milk, or better yet, chocolate milk by itself...but not in my tea.
Love as thou wilt.
