Freedom drink, don't mind iced tea, although I prefer hot tea.

Tea is an excellent drink of excellence. If we're talking ordinary tea then it's milk first, no sugar. Coffee is good as well.

I drink tea all the time, mostly chai and green tea. The spicier the better.

If it's lemon iced tea, then yes! It's a great substitute for pop and it's not as sugary or calorie-inducing. The only time I would ever drink hot (British) tea is if I'm at a party and sipping some tea (pinky up!) with a side of crumpets and ladyfingers with the Governor.

Absolutely horrible, but I think I'm allergic to it. The fumes alone make me nauseous. If someone is brewing tea around me, I'll have to leave the room to avoid throwing up.

If y'all Brits want some milk in your hot beverage, why not just drink coffee?
Coffee tastes f****** awful as a drink, and Tea doesn't make you stay up all night, I mean, I like my sleep.

I've adopted my husbands description of coffee as basically tasting like 'dog-sh**t tacos' (and he drinks coffee all the time)

As for tea I'll quote this; (if anyone gets it you win the prize)

'It's not up to me. If you come to me and ask me, I'm gonna tell you the truth, because it is the truth, I have had tea. Lots of tea. Indian tea. And biscuits.'

Ah, it takes me back to my college days in the late 70's when we adored all things Eric Idle.

This is my hands-down favorite tea. I generally prefer mine iced, with no sweetener.

I'm not picky when it comes to tea. I like it hot and iced, unsweetened and sweetened. I don't sweeten hot tea, though. The only time I've ever added milk to tea was when it was chai tea. And, while I can't say for sure, hot tea has seemed to help a lot when I've had colds.

Today ended up being a tea day.  I got up around 8 and instead of my usual half pot of coffee, I opted for tea.  I put water in the electric kettle and a few minutes later found a little bag and just as I was teabagging it my wife reminded me that we had some decent loose leaf that we brought back from China.  I felt like a stooge, but I played it smooth, like I wanted that English shit, but about halfway through the cup I poured it into the sink and broke out the good stuff.  The bag inside the metal canister hadn't even been cut yet.  I guess it has been in there, untouched, since our last trip to china 8 months ago.  Of course, we have a few other already-open canisters I bought at the Asian markets here, but I'd forgotten about that little one.  I decided to go whole hog and I put away the mug and broke out the good gilt-edge oriental small cups and the metal mesh ball, and dropped some leaves into it and steeped it right.  I ended up drinking about four small cups of that before we headed out to the nature day festivity that we'd planned.  As it happens, around noon we got hungry and the nearest fast food place is a little place where my wife always orders, in Mandarin, our food and they serve us copious, American-portion quantities of food on little styrofoam plates, and I had another two cups of tea there--it comes free and is always hot, although usually oversteeped--and I carried the second one with me into the adjacent Wal-mart as we shopped for toilet paper, dietary supplements, shampoo, and the like. 

I probably consumed only about half the caffeine that I would normally have consumed in a typical day because I didn't drink my usual half pot of very strong coffee, but I don't have a headache at the moment so it must have been enough.
