I always have to have tea in the morning. I doubt it is an addiction, because there is not much caffeine in tea. Okay, I lied, I'm addicted.
In the mornings, I have English Breakfast, in the afternoons and evenings I have Earl Grey. I take mine with milk and sugar, of course.
Do you drink tea? What is your favorite type, and why?

I drink at least two big cups of decaf citron green tea every day; usually one for lunch and one in the evening. For breakfast I have a mug of hot vanilla Silk with five chunks of dark, 70% cocoa melted in it. It's all about the antioxidants, baby! Also, I find the tea very soothing.

I'm completely addicted to tea. I have at least 10 a day (I'm a student who's only up for about 8 hours a day...)
In fact, I'm writing this with a cup of PG Tips sitting next to me. Methinks I need to go into re-hab or something...
<edit>I think the tea is detrimental to my spelling abilities</edit>

Well, if I were to dip a sensitive part of my anatomy into a boiling hot cup of tea, I think I would be able to accurately simulate the sensations I feel when I read thread topics such as this.

I drink tea sometimes. I got into the habit during my visits to Bryn Mawr, where tea is an integral part of the social structure in ways that I'm not entirely sure I completely understand.
Much to my wife's chagrin, though, I can't stand coffee. How can something that smells so good, taste so bad?

Perhaps a nice cup of tea could put a smile on your face!

For the particularly dense, the above is a very, very sweet way of saying
JOHN B. SMITH/ANKLE_BRAINS/WHATEVER, KILL THE ****ING INANITY!!! Most kids grow out of the "question" phase by the time they're, what, six?
So you (John B./a_b/etc.) are either too old to be posting such a constant flow of trite bullshit, or too young to be posting in this forum.

I don't know why, but it seems as though the flavor of coffee became unbearable for me after I adjusted to tea. I used to like coffee, but the thought of it seems rather disgusting now. I wonder why.

Earl Grey Tea - About five cups a month... cold evenings or mid morning on a weekend.

Tea is like drinking the
creative juices of a rose.
You would have to be
a sap to do it.

Are you a complete moron? Religion is one thing, but tea? They're not even remotely similar things to attack. Funny thing for you to mention, creativity, when you've shown none.

Actually from what I understand tea has more caffine than Coffee but doesn't give you the instant boost like Coffee it's more subtle. Earl Grey supposedly has the most Caffine in it. More than coffee anyway.

A far greater man than you What your juxtaposition has to do with tea is beyond me. (Also, "tea" is not three syllables, thus not able to be a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth, et cetera)

I'm not a tea drinker. Only rarely at home or when at a oriental resturant.
