How do you take your tea?

That’s pretty good…
Earl Grey, hot, plz.
If you like iced tea, maybe try it that way once.
Earl Grey makes an amazing iced tea, and a cool change from standard Black Pekoe. It’s got of a spicy-flowery taste, altho I’d still recommend adding lemon or citrus powder, etc.
I like Earl Grey, hot, with milk. The kids call this a “Dirty Picard.”
I have something to say that will change the way nearly every American on Lemmy will perceive the world
I dont like tea… and I’m a brit.
And that’s okay. ;)
I am AGHAST.
Green, any herbs in are fine, no flavorings.
Preferably liquid, but I wouldn’t say no to solid or gaseous forms. Would probably not try to ingest it in plasma form.
Depends on the tea. Black tea with a little milk is the classic, bonus points if loose leaf
I mostly drink either a strong black tea blend (something that is neither too malty or astringent) with a bit of milk and sugar, masala chai, or a Chinese green tea like a Tie Guan Yin or a jasmine pearl.
I also love a good bubble tea, usually a simple pearl milk tea with less sugar.
Classy with the pinky up.

Mostly black, but after living in the UK for awhile I got used to doing a touch of honey and/or milk.

Not German. I mean that. Any black tea you drink in Germany just doesn’t mix right with milk. The colour goes grayish and you taste more the milk than the tea.
English black tea mixes impressively well with milk. Breakfast Tea, Yorkshire Blend, hell, even Earl Grey – the colour goes a deep vibrant brown and the tea taste and effect is intensified.
I’m neither joking nor exaggerating.
Is it the type of water as well maybe? Are you describing German brands of tea (a new concept to me)
It could be the water. I don’t think it is, as I can’t believe that UK water is so drastically different than what’s going on in Germany, but it could be.
I described common English brands/types that mix well with milk. In the UK, when you say “tea” it’s immediately understood that you’re referring to black tee.
In Germany, “tea” is something else. Tea could mean fruit or herbs or black, it’s all on the same level there. Black tea is just another herb tee somehow to them
hot, straight, not oversteeped, served in a small Asian-style teacup without handles
is this some sort of sex joke?
No, then I would have said “I like my tea like I like my women: hot, sweet, and with a large cup size.”
Ok, but you said
- Hot
- straight
- not oversteeped - not overly demanding
- Asian-style teacup - small tits
- without handles - without (romantic) name calling.
Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.
