    So reading the Panda thread again, I got to thinking. Being a tea drinker, when not being AR about my coffee, what do you brew?

    Me: PG Tips or Constant Comment. Both with milk. Water boiling hot, set for 5 minutes before removing the tea bag.

    There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods.
    To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.

    Is this the same thing as stirring up crap? I'm quite proficient at that....but the only thing I brew is when I make iced tea......I have tried Liptons, Luzianne, Earl Gray, and still haven't found the Holy Grail yet.

    Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

    Does a culture based on seperation and competition, of scientific sophistication and mideval religion, offer happiness even as it ravishes the Earth that sustains it?

    I like red rose tea, makes the best iced tea too. My grandma has been using it for her (locally) famous iced tea for years

    I was one of those morons who fell in love with the severely over-priced (at least in my mind), Matevana from Teavana... I even got my wife loving it when she's get a sore throat; and she normally HATES tea! This blend isn't expensive by tobacco bulk blend standards at least not here, but for tea? Crazy. It doesn't change the fact that I love this blend and will be forced to buy more at inflated prices when I run out...

    That is a mix Jason. I don't know that I would like chocolate in my tea. Wife is always wanting to try things in my coffee, she buys flavored creamers, ug. Coffee should taste like coffee.

    I did try a nice tea blend when in BETTY"S in York, even brought some home with me. I think it has marigolds in it. Nice flavor and strong.

    Bah, I thought this was going to be about beer!!!!

    Tea in the mornings for me, but just cheap stuff in bags. Coffee is a weekend thing.

    Sweet tea: orange pekoe
    Hot tea: Lady Grey, Black Pearl, Irish Breakfast, or some of my many herbals
    Coffee: 100% Colombian or other Central/South American blend. I don't like African coffee.

    I leave the alcohol to the pros!

    My wife likes "Monkey Picked Oolong" but since she is pregers she is avoiding caffeine.

    My side of the family are Okies so our ice tea was always Lipton. Though I now buy roasted barley tea most of the time. No hot water needed! I prefer the Japanese version, very refreshing and caffeine free!

    For hot tea I like green tea. I brew it by the pot and buy it at the Asian markets by our house.
