    I am the same with milk, the worst is someone making it for you and when you say a drop of milk you get it and it is almost white. I always say make it look like dirty water or I do it myself.

    First thing in the morning I need a super strong mug (or two) of English Breakfast

    Mid afternoon a chai is good

    by the afternoon I want an Early Grey

    And in the evening a fruit tea, or calmomile honey and lemon to help me sleep.

    I am also partial to a green tea on occasion

    Ahh I love a good cup of tea

    I'm a massive tea drinker & now living in China, it's tea heaven for me!!!! I love the specialty iced green teas you get in cafes. They also do this wonderful Honey Citron Tea which is just devine too. Also in the supermarkets the tea aisle is huge & I have got right into fruity type teas. At the moment I have an apple one & also a peach/passionfruit one. They are so delicious & it gets you the water intake without being boring! Love it!

    Rooibos is my all time favourite

    Russian caravan, earl grey, Irish Breakfast, green tea
    I really dislike Chamomile for some reason, it tastes how pee smells. Is that just me lol?
    I also really loved Raspberry leaf when I was pregnant.

    Oooer...I didn't realise there were so many tea lovers!

    I've got some choc chai tea in the pantry that I pull out when I've got a chocolate craving. Yum.

    Deedles, I find that I prefer the taste of Chamomile if it has been brewed for a good five minutes or so...just a bit longer than usual. I used to brew Raspberry leaf for 10 minutes to get the right taste for me.

    Pick me too! I love a good cuppa. It depends on what I'm having as to how I have it, but most of the time its Earl Grey, black, no sugar. Then it would be Peppermint. Love all those white teas like Buddha's Tears and love the japanese tea that you get in restaurants that has the roasted flavour to it. Yummmm! Have aserious tea colection but just don't find the time to get the pot out and taste it all...such a shame.

    And the way to spoil any cuppa is to add too much milk - blerg! My hubby is a milky tea man & I am not a fan when he makes me a cuppa! But then again, I never put enough milk in his so we're about even I reckon

    this morning I tried Madame Flavour Earl Grey - with lemon myrtle. Was ok and by the end of the cup I was more used to it - but it still tasted like dishwashing liquid (maybe because of the 'fragrance' I was tasting??)

    I just hate when I have the perfect cup and go for that last sip but there is none left in the mug.
    That just happened to me now! Had to make another cup but no way will it be as good I'm sure!

    I'm a huge tea drinker. My fav is good old Lipton. Not sure why, think it brings back memories of my childhood. I love tea with milk or lemon or honey and lemon if I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Need to broaden my tea education i think so will need to check out sone of these recommendations!

    My friend owns her own tea business and god I am HOOKED!! She sells sooo many different teas but my 2 fav are called:
    Rainforest magic and
    Monks pear.
    Both are black teas with other things added (like flowers n stuff) so they are not herbal.

    Cuppa-T is the company name, Google it... Her tea is my favorite and I am a tea addict!
    Except I am devastated cause DD can't take dairy and tea with soy is feral!!! Unless it's chai, so I haven't had a tea in 3 weeks now! oh how I miss a lovely strong brewed loose leaf!
