    When I visited china (lol), we visited a tea making...hill. Like they planted tea plants everywhere on the hill and started farming it for tea.

    I bought some green tea candy. Mmmm....expensive.

    100$ per bag (bag, not single serving) of tea. My parents are insane.

    I love Earl Grey. Works so much better than coffee for me and I like the herbal black tea version. The only coffee I liked was some ghetto gourmet. It was ridiculously expensive and probably not from Colombia.

    I think it's Earl Grey that helps you relax/sleep, but I may be completely wrong.
    You're wrong! So very, very wrong. Earl Grey isn't very nice, it's "aromatic" but that isn't a good thing IMO. You'll probably like it if you want a lightish morning tea.
    I'm British, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to tea!
    I'm Australian, so I'm not listening to your devil opinions. It's bad enough I can't walk through the city because of CHOGM D:<

    Vanilla chai is awesome. It's probably my favorite. I need to try that bobba tea Monda keeps going on about but I want to be lazy and not make it. I'm sure I wont be able to find the stuff where I am.

    One time I tried to get into liking Earl Gray tea because I wanted to be like Captain Picard (that's the honest to god reason) but I just couldn't do it.

    I wouldn't say earl grey was a "light" flavor. It's pretty heavy and peppery to me.

    I got a rooiboos with vanilla tea that tastes basically like the cakes I used to make in my EasyBake oven. noooooom

    anyway, I'm not English, but I have the understanding that the temperature at which you should steep tea depends on the tea. The English do have a reputation for ah.. cooking the taste out of foods

    "Twinings - English Breakfast". If it's a good, strong cup of tea you're looking for then look no further. Once used, it even has wrinkle-reducing properties. Beat that, Mr Grey.

    I'm a huge fan of tea. Green tea is nice and healthy, but it still has caffine, so if you want something that's even higher in antioxidents and has zero caffine you should try Rooibos tea. It tastes great!

    I always have a cup of Chamomile tea before I head off to bed. It's a great relaxant, and it tends to make me feel more refreshed in the morning.

    There's a lot of good Chinese tea around too, but I can't remember names.

    Apparently T(ea) is for Twinings or so the ads say. I dunno but I have some Twinings strawberry tea next to me and it's pretty sweet (literally).

    I don't particularly care for fruit flavoured tea (other than lemon and apple that is), but everything else I like and drink with pleasure.
    You never go wrong with basic green tea (preferably Chinese) or chamomile.

    A good one is if you buy some fresh mint leaves, put them in a cup, pour hot water over them and mix in a bit of sugar. Fresh mint tea is delish.

    I only drink tea when it happens to be available. I bought a Snapple Green Tea at a Mexican diner. I usually don't buy tea and I never bother to make it. Anybody want to make me some tea?
