I drink Lipton green tea but leave the bag in so long that the astringent tannins leave me thirsty as soon as I've finished a sip.

Edit: That isn't all the tea I drink, just my most unusual habit, and I was drinking it right when I made the chost. I also like:

  • Constant Comment (I found it because of Scott Pilgrim shut up)
  • Earl Grey and half-and-half (a lazy London Fog?)
  • This delicious rooibos drink called a Red Symphony from a cafe down the street from where I used to live. I think it was this recipe but I don't have the means to make it.

cold-brewed with a few bags at a time, with a fistful of limes worth of juice and a ton of sweetener.

I can drink about any tea offered to me, but my personal fav is the kind they serve at Chinese restaurants. I know there is a brand that sells a tea that is meant to be similar, but I have never seen it in stores around here. I find jasmine tea is close enough, so that's what I usually have at home.

my gf and I also sometimes go to this little breakfast restaurant every once in a while and they have those fancy little pyramid shaped tea bags. the tea inside is kinda "loose leaf" textured where it isn't crushed down as much? idk the brand but I always have the green tea one and it slaps

About every two days, we brew and chill around 1.7 liters of black tea, which we have unsweetened over ice with lemon. Occasionally we will use the black tea to make milk tea (with sugar and soy milk over ice).

Less commonly, we will make masala chai or matcha, or just have (hot) english breakfast tea.

Living in West Virginia means sweet tea is a lot more common here than it was back home. Roxy likes it to an extent but generally prefers unsweetened tea. I find it kind of odd due to the lack of lemon.

A few days ago, we actually purchased an electric kettle, so that we can make tea more efficiently.

I just drink whatever tea is available, though I mostly prefer whatever Earl Grey is laying around in the pantry. I don't really bother taking the tea bag out of my cup so when it gets too strong and there's half left I just add a bit more water to my cup to even things out.

i also leave the bag in as long as im drinking it regardless of the type of tea? also i usually try to keep around 1 herbal, 1 green, and 1 black tea at all times bc i learned while i was under lockdown that if i dont do that i go insane. i dont really care what types although i like keeping mint around for when my tummy feels weird.
