Thea!

[Fragony]

Don't know how to make a poll, hmmm moderators?

- yes, love it!
- It is ok from time to time, kinda
- foulest beverage ever
- Thea is for fags, I only drink cappuchino
- WTH is thea learn how to spell damnit

I have been drinking quite a lot lately, and I have found a favourite in Jasmin from China. It actually relaxes, a very mild high if you want. Great before you go to sleep.

[InsaneApache]

do you mean tea?

- Thea is for fags

Thea is for fags

Awww quote the entire sentence then, have some irony for crying out loud.

I drink a double espresso coffee in the morning, with milk. I need the extra kick it offers, as I'm an old man and my engine takes stronger fuel to rev up.

I drink Bigelow Constant Comment (English-style tea with Orange rind, my Dutch/Irish grandmother's favorite, which hence became one of mine), or Earl Gray in the afternoons, or sometimes Jasmine if I want something lighter, flowery and sweet.

At night I drink a big mug of Japanese green tea, usually just some cheap Genmai (brown rice) cha. Great antioxidants, and it reminds me of my Japanese mum.

Edit: I neglected to mention that on special occasions I'll pull out my stash of East-Indian-style Chai, loaded with interesting spices. I boil it in water, reduce to a simmer for a while to bring out all the subtle flavors, and then add some honey and about a third as much whole milk (the most common ratio is half and half, but I like a stronger chai flavor). I really enjoy Chai.

[Duke Malcolm]

I prefer a nice cup of Ceylon, or perhaps Assam if it is in the evening.

[Strike For The South]

I hate hot tea



:charge: God Save Iced Tea:charge:

[Somebody Else]

A full cafettiere of extra strength black coffee - always handy, if not a pint of espresso. Of course, no sugar or milk - that's just silly.

Tea on the other hand - Indian, take a dash of milk, or maybe a slice of lemon (depending on how I'm feeling). Chinese - well, as is of course.

[InsaneApache]

On a warm summers day....frappe all the way...

(I'm a poet didn't ya know it, I rhyme all the time ~D )

But for clear refreshment then tea tea tea!!! and not that Liptons muck we send overseas for the foreigners.....well truth will out~D

[Mikeus Caesar]

I like a cup of tetleys, with a bit of milk in it. And i love how the Americans have half a billion different types of tea. My parents went to San Francisco, and when they ordered tea, they had to go through an entire page of paper looking for normal tea, which was under the label of 'breakfast tea'.

[Beirut]

- Thea is for fags, I only drink cappuchino

Let us abstain from using comments, ironic though they may be, that impart an insulting, if not hateful tone.

For my part, I drink tea by the gallon. All kinds. Thyme tea is great for the lungs when a cold or flu hits, though it tastes like a cup of hot dirt. You learn to like it. I prefer strong dark teas but still enjoy all the funky and fruity ones.

[Togakure]

... and not that Liptons muck we send overseas for the foreigners.....well truth will out~D
Ah ... so it's you folks who are responsible for that abomination. Be glad I'm not the President, or I'd have you all nuked.

Tea all the way! :charge: My minimum daily dose is ten small glasses.

I prefer Turkish stuff over Ceylon and alike but Chinese is the best. :bow:

[edyzmedieval]

I like tea. Nothing compares to a warm, cup of tea in the morning, while outside is snowing, and you are reading Santa Claus's Biography... ~:cheers:

I don't drink tea. I drink tequila.

Lapsang Souchong...a man's tea.
Hmmm ... I've not tried that. An interesting statement--why do you describe it as such?

[LeftEyeNine]

Tea is the best drink to be addicted to, me thinks. The ordinary black tea is counted to be one of the 14 food/drinks that you should never forget taking completely..

Well I don't mind whoever believes such crap news told us everyday but the only reason drink tea is I love it.. Pretty surprising, eh ?

[KukriKhan]

Hmmm ... I've not tried that. An interesting statement--why do you describe it as such?

I'm sure there exists a woman somewhere who drinks the stuff, but I've never met her.

Lapsang Souchong is to Lipton's as espresso is to Folger's. Orders of magnitude stronger, with a lingering smokey taste.

It makes me think of end-of-the-day campfires after ascending one's favorite Himalyan mountain.

[Kekvit Irae]

For me, green tea all the way. Blueberry or raspberry tea would be a distant second (flavored with Splenda), and then Chai Latte would be a close third.

[A.Saturnus]

Hmmm, Turkish apple tea.

[Kagemusha]

BTW when people talk about the Turkish apple tea. Is it really tea? becouse its just somekind of apple powder. Its delicious but is it really tea?

[LeftEyeNine]

Hmmm, Turkish apple tea.

Hahaha ! That famous Turkish Apple Tea again.. I don't want to comment anymore. ~D I was quite surprised to hear that apple flavored tea was Turkish orginated..

[Papewaio]

I like my coffee but I do like Earl Grey, Fruit flavoured teas and of all the teas milk tea with pearls (jasmine flavour is good)

[The_Doctor]

By the gods, apple tea again. It should replace GAH.

Hot drinks freak me out. Liquids should be cool and refreshing.

Never tried it though, sounds interesting

[Mouzafphaerre]

Do we have this here in Turkey? :inquisitive:

As a matter of fact, any brewed plant is referred to as "xxx tea" over here. But just "tea" always means good old cai (Mandarin)/tai (Cantonese).
.

[Sjakihata]

Actually, the word tea/chai/te/tai is quite fashinating.

In England they call it tea in scandinavia te (pronounced somewhat similar) in Egypt they call it /don't know the spelling/ but it sounds like a mix of chai and tea, in Nepal they call it Chai and at Hokkien it is called te

The word is clearly the same almost everywhere, which I think if cool - not the tea tho, I hate ice tea

Really? It makes ME think of bicycle inner tubes and kippers that are several days past their best...

PG Tips for me. These fancy teas are all very well (I mean ones that actually are tea), but its good old English tea that made Britain great. That's a man's drink.

That makes two. We are two Martians pretending to be Turkish..~:eek:

Mouza, they say it is Turkish apple tea, because they had never drunk it anywhere before..

[English assassin]

It does exist though because I brought a box back from Turkey once, and it seemed to be everywhere there.

What's Martian tea like?

[LeftEyeNine]

Extracted from Spam-iflorea, a Martian plant.. Has the same effect as when sitting on a cold concrete plane after eating a melon..

I like rooïbos tea inffused with vanilla, with plenty of milk and two spoons of sugar. Ahh, bliss...

I love Tea

[Somebody Else]

Coca tea is very nice. Good for altitude sickness.

Sadly a class A product though...

Disguise yourself as a tourist and you´ll get a tea-like fluid tasting of apples everywhere. Of course, by not disguising you probably get a raki everywhere...

[InsaneApache]

Raki...now your talking....I like the Greek version Chipero as well, mainly because it's free free free....~:cheers:

But not in the morning, that's for Yorkshire tea, for Yorkshire folks, made with Yorkshire water.....~:rolleyes:

I knew the Greek one was Uzo ~:confused:

[Byzantine Prince]

We have more drinks then Uzo in Greece. ~;)
We have Raki, and we have Retsina and Metaxa and others.

[ichi]

Mrs ichi doesnt allow me to drink coffee around the house, only tea with honey in it. When she's not looking I go to Starbucks and get a latte with lots of sugar. She says coffee makes me too 'intense'

Apparently tea is good for a person, so is the honey.

ichi:bow:

[R'as al Ghul]

Doesn't anyone here drink real coffee anymore?
I mean buying whole beans, grinding them manually with
a coffee grinder and brewing them slowly through a filter?
That's the stuff if you want a real strong coffee.
Btw, Espresso is the one with the lowest amount of caffeine, iirc.

But why? ~:confused: I could never taste any difference between Raki and Uzo anyway.

[InsaneApache]

Might be a language or cultural problem here, but Ouzo is an aniseed based drink ...think 'Pernod, Ricard, Sambuca'....whereas Raki/Chipero is a distilled spirit made from cheap wine and rubbish grapes...and like I said...

it's FREE FREE FREE ~:cheers:

[Mouzafphaerre]

.
Neither Rakı nor Uzo is made from grapes...

If I drank at all, it would be red wine and nothing else. :barrel:

Ah, there you are. I'm quite sure that Mum Mouzaf does the best.
Careful though if you're on holiday and don't drink the real stuff
for some weeks. The first cup after returning may cause your heart
to drum for a very long time.
Let's found an oldschool coffee club. ~;)

Tea is good from time to time ~:) though I prefer cold drinks, even when it's cold.

oh and tequila is good as well~D
