Tea drinkers... chime in
I used to drink a lot of tea while working on the farm when I was younger (1970s-80s). It was probably a lower quality tea since we were out in the middle of nowhere and you get what you get.

I recently asked for tea as my beverage at a decent restaurant. Wow! It was really good! I asked about it and the waitress said it was a black/green tea mix steeped in boiling water.

My question is: Is it the tea or the preparation... or both? Are there any brands that are better than others? Lipton seems to dominate the market, but as in all things "food related" the biggest seller isn't always the best thing.

Chime in please.

I always like how the settlers in the 13 original colonies trolled the Brits army by dressing up as Indians and dumping a bunch of tea in the Boston harbor. I bet they had fun doing it.

Also all tea pots are not created equal. Get a good tea pot designed for brewing tea.

Not a fan.

My son, however, would have a Tea IV if he could.

I just looked up Earl Grey. They seem to add flavors, etc.. I want tea straight up. I drink my coffee black with the best Colombian beans. That's what I'm looking for in a tea. No foo-foo crap.

Cold with ice and lemon. If a little whiskey falls in it I can forgive that...

Hot tea or iced tea? I generally only drink iced tea or water.

Both preparation AND the tea you choose make a difference. I don't generally make my own. At work, I drink tea from the Chick-Fil-A downstairs. At home, I usually buy Milo's. When I do make my own, I have some White Ayurvedic Chai from Teavana that's freakin' awesome - sweet, spicy, and very complex.

Sweet tea is nasty. I prefer plain tea with just a touch of sweetener to take the edge of bitterness off.

That was an attempt at a joke. A little too esoteric for some.

As someone mentioned, Typhoo or Tetley's, which is what my folks drink.
