Mithran Denizen Posted May 31, 2011 I like a cup of tea now and then, though most varieties taste the same to me, so I don't have any real preferences in that sense. I don't like sugar in my tea, though, but a teaspoon of honey can help sooth a sore throat. I can't drink the shit as hot as most of the other tea drinkers I know, either. Diluting it with enough milk cools it down, so that's sort of a solution. 0 Share this post Link to post

If I did that I wouldn't be able to taste anything for a week(I know, I've tried). Maybe they don't have any taste left? I have to wait about 10-15 minutes, I know most people drink it right away but I just don't see how thats possible, maybe they have a leather toungue? 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted May 31, 2011 Tea is my absolute primary means of sustenance. Without it I can barely function - yes, I know that's a bad state to be in. :( 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted May 31, 2011 Tea is fine but I prefer other infusions, such as chamomile, lemon verbena (a South American shrub) or peppermint. I prefer to apply a bit of brown sugar, in any case. Also, orange-flavored tea is pretty nice. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xeros612 Posted May 31, 2011 The way I like my coffee: plain. Replace coffee beans with a tea bag and brewing with tossing the bag in a cup of hot water. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted May 31, 2011 I don't drink tea nearly as much as coffee, but for that reason it's more of a treat. I make it similarly to the way I like my coffee, except I replace the sugar with honey. I like all the usual types, black, green, chai, Earl Grey, etc., but I have this one blend that I like the most (so far): green tea with orange, passion fruit, and jasmine.

Fulgrim Posted June 1, 2011 I was never that big of a tea drinker tell I moved to the south. Now I drink southern style sweet tea just about every day. Milo's is the best sweet tea I have found so far, due to the fact that they don't use high fructose corn syrup. Mc'Donalds has some great tea also. I don't think you can get it outside of the south though. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted June 1, 2011 Megalyth said: I make it similarly to the way I like my coffee, except I replace the sugar with honey. I do it the other way around, tea (or similar infusions) with sugar and coffee with honey. To me, tea has a smoother taste, and so does sugar. Coffee and honey are stronger and thus mix well. In both cases, the tastes tend to combine without drowning each other. 0 Share this post Link to post
spicyjack Posted June 1, 2011 Black tea, using zavarka and hot water from a samovar. Russian tea is both art and science. Don't believe? Now you will. 0 Share this post Link to post

Megalyth Posted June 1, 2011 myk said:Coffee and honey are stronger and thus mix well. In both cases, the tastes tend to combine without drowning each other. True. I've also used honey in coffee when I don't have any sugar. Either way, I use them sparingly. Much like too much sugar masks the natural coffee taste for me, too much honey makes tea taste like honey. 0 Share this post Link to post

Daiyu_Xiaoxiang Posted June 2, 2011 Chinese Tea like "Longjing" and "Bi Luo Chun" is what I always like to drink, I will drink chinese tea when doing some max run on doom to reduced stress. lol I seldom drink Earl Grey Tea, but Chai is definetly what I like to drink besides Chinese tea. I usually put 1 packet of sugar, too much sugar put leds the taste sucks since it's too sweet! 0 Share this post Link to post

Not only in Russian restaurants, but in Persian/Iranian restaraunts as well. Because it's hilarious: In North America, charcoal-burning samovars can be used exactly the same way we use them in Russia, except, perhaps, that you should warn each participant of the garden-party, preferably in written form, about the dangers of scalding themselves. Otherwise, some ignorant bastard might sue your pants off, should s/he touch the samovar in the wrong place. Though things must be getting bad up here if Canadians are lumped in with Americans too. :p 0 Share this post Link to post
