I absolutely love tea, all kinds of tea. Cold or Hot it doesn't matter which one. In high school when all my friends were drinking hot chocolate and coffee to keep warm, I always had a mug of hot tea with me. I love flavored teas too. Raspberry, peach, and so many others (that I can't think of right now). I even like decaffinated tea. Do you like tea? If so what is your favorite ones. Do you like it hot or iced?

I LOVE TEA!! I am drinking it as we speak. We always have a gallon of regular iced tea around, then I like green tea, raspberry tea, peach tea, almost any flavor. I prefer it all iced, but will drink it warm on a cold winter's day. I also like to drink the diet support and detox teas. They don't taste too bad once you get used to them! I drink most of my tea iced, and I only rarely do I add any sweetener, and then only honey. Yummy Tea!! :o)

I love sweet tea. My grandma would make sun tea when I was younger, then I lived in the south for a while, so I got addicted to sweet tea. Here in Colorado they do not serve sweet tea at a restaurant. If you want sugar in it you have to put it in yourself. I can't drink anything with sugar in it because my blood sugar is high. It was very hard to make the switch, but now that I'm used to it, it's not bad. :o)

I drink flavored teas and green tea. It helps me to move my bowels regularly and aside from that it is a good antioxidant

Yes, I'm a tea drinker also. I prefer hot than cold tea. Hot tea that I enjoyed are english breakfast, ginger tea, milk tea, green tea and moroccan mint tea (my favourite). Since I have a sweet tooth, I like to sweeten my tea as well. As for cold tea, I like lemon tea, peach tea and milk tea.

I also love tea...hot cold...just about any type too. I am really lucky in that there are some great tea shops near my home, so I have been able to try all different types. In the summer months I really like drinking cold barely tea. I get this tea from a local asian market. One thing I love about it is that you can brew it in cold water so I don't even have to turn on the stove...making it even better in the hot weather. In cold months I really like green tea, especially they kind with brown rice in it. it's just such a cozy drink!

Yes, I'm a tea drinker. I don't crave it though. In Chinese restaurants hot tea is offered either for free or it's the cheapest drink on the menu. So I usually drink hot tea in Chinese restaurants. As for cold tea, here in the Philippines we have C2. I love it especially the lemon flavor.

I like Green Tea from Japan! Its healthy, it increases your metabolism, prevent cancer and also detox your body! I also do drink English Breakfast Tea and Chinese Tea and also flavoured tea, but nothing beats green tea.

I love tea, and my favorite is green tea and pepper mint, although ginger peppermint and lemon is almost up there. I do not like iced tea that much and not black tea. The only black tea I like is Earl Grey. I tried some of the other herb teas, but with fruit teas, I would rather eat the fruit itself instead of having it made into a tea. I have not had decaffeinated tea, but since I like to stay awake and not doze off and since it takes a lot of caffeine to have any effect, you can keep it.

Oh yes, I do enjoy a good cup of tea. Depending on my mood, I'll either go for a black type (usually Earl Grey) or herbal, like lemon. Although I don't really care for green tea on it's own, I like it combined with lemon or mint. And, there's nothing like a glass of iced tea on a hot day!

I like tea. Mainly plain decaf Iced tea with sugar and lemon. That's what I live off of at home minus the lemon. I hate hate HATE flavored Iced teas. I hate fruity flavored tea in general. I like hot tea too.. but I still keep it pretty plain. Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English and Irish Breakfasts, that sort of thing. I use sugar and honey in them usually. I like my tea... but I really love it pretty plain!
