What kind of tea do you like?
How do you prepare it?
What do you add to it?

I love Thai tea. I buy loose leaves in a 1-pound bag, use cotton reusable tea bags (big ones I made myself), add them to a glass jug of cold water, and stick it in the fridge overnight. I drink it iced, with a little stevia. If I'm feeling really decadent, I add some coconut milk.

The jug of tea lasts two days, the pound of tea leaves lasts about 3 months.

What's your tea ritual?

Just tea bags, chai or herbal mostly, tea only, no milk or other additives. All winter I drink hot tea, not the warmer weather is coming, it will be back to ice tea.

Black chai is good.

Cold and sweetened, many flavors will do, but NO milk. I can stand about three sips of real chai with fresh spices, but the milk is not for me. I love Thai tea and also buy the powder, but just have it iced and sweet. My favorite is black tea with fruit; lemon is classic, but mango, rose, mixed fruit are welcome, along with green tea and orange or apple, white tea and blueberry - I drink a lot of tea.

I like many types of tea. Most often I drink black or orange pekoe from a tea bag. Same with green tea. I'm sometimes a fan of Earl Grey. I have a tea ball infuser that I use for the tea my daughter's in-laws supply us with from their yearly trips to China. I have no idea what kind it is. Tastes very different than the tea we typically buy. I usually use a spoonful of artificial sweetener.

In warmer weather I like either iced black or green iced tea. Sometimes I use both types in the same pitcher. I use lemon and a bit of artificial sweetener with each glass.

Plain black tea with milk (almond or soy at home, dairy elsewhere if the other is not offered) and honey if home, sugar if elsewhere and the other is not offered.

Will have an occasional cup of Earl Grey, but not all the time.
