Did You Know...

...over a lifetime, people who use loose-leaf tea strainers spend an extra two weeks making cups of tea over those who use teabags?


I drink Assam tea - made using tea bags - with no sugar and just a splash of skimmed milk.


Which are you: tea or coffee?

I prefer tea (obviously) because coffee gives me indigestion.

I prefer coffee, but since I've had to cut back I've been drinking more tea, and a wide variety of it at that. So in a day I drink a fair amount of both.

I only drink tea... until a month ago, like you, Assam.

But... my taste buds seem to be undergoing major changes of late, and I just can't bear strong any more, so it's been Ceylon, lightly brewed.

English Tea (Tetleys Tea Bags are favourite) and Good fresh brewed coffee (never instant) in equal measures, probably too much of both.

COFFEE!!

When I was a child, I loved tea. Now, I drink coffe but I still have a crush on tea.

I am fascinated by tea parties and tea ceremonies, but not so much interested in drinking the tea.

I like a proper coffee every now and then, but I'm mostly a tea sort of person. Preferably Earl Grey, but I also like Assam.

Oh tea every time. Like the infinite improbability drive, I need a cup of fresh hot strong tea to get going ;-)

I use 1 assam and 1 english breakfast teabag in a pot for our family blend!

Both. I like a latte best. I enjoy black tea with milk and everything else plain.

I drink two cups of coffee per day, but I love iced tea!

Both actually.

Right now I am drinking a nice warm cup of constant comment and it is made with a bag. Its my favorite - its an orange spice tea.

Loose leaf tea in a strainer, of course. But only one teacup in the morning upon waking; continuing to dose myself with caffeine just leads to addiction.
I used to drink Assam and sometimes Japanese Sencha but now I'm using a Chinese breakfast tea with a splash of soymilk and no sugar.
As for "saving" time with tea bags...if we don't treat everything we do as an art form what's the point of living?
