    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)

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

    oh and tequila is good as well

    Do we have this here in Turkey?

    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).

    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

    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.
    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.

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

    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?

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

    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...

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

    But not in the morning, that's for Yorkshire tea, for Yorkshire folks, made with Yorkshire water.....
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
