Re: Tea
Green gunpowder tea is best. No milk or sugar - good tea doesn't need it (well if you ask me no tea needs it, but each to their own). I'm quite partial to iced green tea with lemon/lime and brown sugar as well.
If you have a cold then green gunpowder tea with lemon, honey and a touch of ginger (and a small drop of brandy perhaps) is good.

Re: Tea
Blasphemy!
Tea should be drunk (that sounds wierd...) in the traditional way......hot with nothing added

Re: Tea
Cold and sweet, though if its a cold winter day, I'll have it warm.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Tea
In the quintessential British fashion.milk?
Cold tea??? Honestly people.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Tea

Re: Tea
Oolong with sugar is not exotic, it's barbaric. Oolong should be served plain and hot.you seriously drink something by that name, oooh how...how exotic
Re: Tea
Oh no no no no no no no no no.
You don't put sugar in Chinese teas. You might as well, seriously, put a pair of boxers over your head with "I'm a white westerner" written all over it if you do this near Asian people.
Other off-topic etiquette tips:
Don't leave your chopsticks standing upright in a bowl of rice. (Extreme bad luck)
Don't let Asians see you putting soy sauce on almost anything (unless they are doing it too) and prepare for stares if you put it on white rice.
Tap the table with your fingertips twice when your drink is refilled. (It's like "thank you")
Edit: Forgot one. Don't order coke or soda in Chinese/Japanese restaurants. No one has ever explicitly said anything rude about it but I can palpably feel the "ugh... okay" sentiment when people order this in Asian restaurants. ;)

Re: Tea
Barbaric? Why not it suits me well... Quisque est Barbarus Alio.
I know Oolong should not be served my way, but well, that's the way I drink it. I prefer the darker Oolongs and i'm due to forget the tea in the kettle for twenty minutes when I'm back from work, so just a very little bit of sugar is nice with them.
Tea is best the way one loves it, no matter how "barbaric" some habits can look like... Nevermind the Ayatullahs....
