[quote=GMScud;671899]Totally agree. I like chamomile at night for sure. About 4 months ago I gave up all soda and energy drinks, so green tea has become a great replacement. Not the bottled stuff though. Green tea bags with no sugar added.

I also enjoy a little earl grey with a touch of vanilla soy milk(the fiancee turned me on to lt).

I will say I don't drink any tea that I'm not steeping. I don't do the canned/bottled/restaurant brewed stuff.

[B]All said and done, I'd prefer a cup of good black coffee over any of the above[/B].[/quote]

True that

When I lived in Hilton Head I worked at a bar and the kitchen made sweet tea every day, it was really sicking to watch them make it. It was made in a huge garbage can (the can was sterile) with tea and this mixture of water and sugar basically a simply syrup. It was so damn sweet I don't know how folks drank it.

Yeah I don't get that southern sweet tea deal. It's so damn sweet it's like damn, can I get some tea with my sugar water?

Re: Favorite Tea
 

I prefer tea to any drink....my grandma used to make the best southern style iced tea, I remember walking into her house and the sweet brewing smell that filled the rooms.

My favorite now is the black tea that Honest teas make. I dont do hot teas, rather just have coffee. I think Honest teas are actually headquartered in southern maryland, so give them a try should be prevelant up there.

I too prefer no sweetener in tea, as I like the flavor of the tea on it's own. My favorites are the CinnaMint and PepperMint teas they have at Caribou Coffee, although I've never really met a tea I didn't like. We usually have a box of the Celestial Seasonings tea bags in the cupboard, and from time to time, I'll throw the kettle on and make tea not too long before bed.
