Iced and with a moderate amount of sugar
I need the acid to blend the sugar and tea together into a nice harmony. You can just add lemon. But I find a little ice tea mix does the job faster and easier.
Yeah I'm fine with the mix. Try fresh lime instead of lemon sometime.
As something like boba or oolong.
Ginseng oolong, all the way!
Peppermint. Justthe water.
I prefer green tea blends, but I drink black if I need more caffeine. I don't drink coffee at all, so it's my main source of it and I drink most teas without anything else. No milk, no sugar, no honey, nothing. To me, sugar in tea just ruins the taste and milk in tea is really weird to my culture's palette (most people here drink herbal or fruit teas by the way, very few drink green or black)
Either Earl Grey with no milk, no sugar, or (for different reasons) HΕjicha which I got a taste for when I visited Japan so much that I now import it.
Anything you can recommend? Didnt strike a good one so far.
Same with Genmaicha.

Black, no flavoring aside from the tea, brewed strong with a small splash of milk and 1-2 tsp of sugar for a large mug.
Mate + sugar
Missed lunch so eating tea at 5pm. Steak n chips, rare is how I like said steak.
Sunned and dry on the rocks
Iced. No sweeteners at all.
Broken Orange Pecoe, hot or chai masala, or dut chia if we're in Nepal
Black tea, warm, with a small amount of sugar, and ice.
Simple but soothing
Warm tea, with ice?
I don't like cold tea but I don't like it hot.
Think of it like putting ice in fresh brewed tea and drinking it right away.
Oolong, steeped in my tea mug that has a lid on it. Usually with some local honey. Mmmm
Straight from dried leave to water.
Rarely with additives.
I'm always cold so I've taken to making giant cups of herbals to have tea the whole day to keep me warm, no sweeteners.
I never put anything else in my tea. Except if I'm having a London fog, that's like crack for me.
with LEMMon
I like my tea red with a taste of fruits and natural sweetness
Looseleaf Russian Caravan. I can't find the right blend any more, the company that made it right changed the formula and it tastes weaker. It needs to be smoky and rich with a bit of red clover. Anyone know where I can buy this?
sweeter side, type and preparation doesnt matter to me. I like switching up tea on the regular. (weekly tea routine is between 3 different teas that get swapped all the time)
Green tea iced and unsweet.
Black tea spiced with lots of milk and some sugar.
Black tea: some of my black teas are outright best with milk
Otherwise: as is.
Also drink:
Rooibos, white and green teas. All loose leaf, steeped the expected duration for each tea.
Couple minutes in the pressure cooker, and natural release.
I drink a pot of camomile every day. 1st cup is still hot while rest is more lukewarm.
Black tea: either just black or with lemon and honey
Green/white tea: no additives
With Amarula as a treat
