Black tea with some lemon and sugar.
This is how we drank tea in communist Poland when I was a child and I tried so many teas in Japan with the nice ceremony, Chinese green tea, american peach ice tea, English tea with milk, etc. But nothing comes close.
lemon and sugar
Ah, memories. I can't drink that any more unless I don't want to eat for several hours until my teeth stop being sensitive, but during my childhood it wasn't just delicious, it was a way to bond with my older relatives.
Ah wait, there is one which is close, Indian chai, it's so flavorful!
One more notable is marrokean peppermint tea, but it's just to sweet.
Sweet Tea. The Southern US kind, black tea brewed with more and more sugar until, ideally, it’s actually a supersaturated solution. Then served cold over ice. Literal diabetes juice.
I don’t have it often, but it’s the best tea in the world because, on the whole, tea is garbage water.
Fight me. 😂
Impra Gold orange peoke. Get the loose-leaf kind that comes in a metal container.
But one time, I was dragged into helping a guy I didn't know move a couch up stairs. Afterwards his wife (they were an Indian couple) made me some chai tea that was the best thing I ever drank in my life. I would happily carry another couch for one more cup. I was a fool and didn't ask what that tea was, and since then I have tried different chai teas (including when I went to India) and I never even found one I liked at all.
Pu-erh for me.
Coffee is my favorite tea. 😆
Sadly, just can't stand the stuff anymore. Grew up having sweetened iced tea for dinner every night. My wife always keeps different varieties on hand and I've occasionally tried different combinations of hot and sweet and milky. For my money, nothing touches a cup of joe. Give it to me black and bitter, like Dick Cheney's original heart.
my favorite switches all the time. currently obsessed w chamomile, thai assam, hojicha (roasted green), and also earl gray! tho we make london fogs w lavendar mostly
We love a tea called Bengal Spice (B Spice) by Celestial Seasonings. Caffeine free. Kinda in the realm of chai. Dash of milk. Usually before bed.
Cardamom!
Oh shit! That's a thing? Is it just cardamom steeped in hot water or is it more of a spice/tea blend like black tea and cardamom?
Fatali-tea
I love green tea. I'm not sure if there's specific kinds I prefer as I haven't tried a lot of different teas, but I have a Sencha Lime Green Tea that is amazing.
Lapsang Souchong (smoked black tea).
T Bone Medium Rare
Growing up in the south, at some point in my 20s I realized I just didn’t really enjoy overly sugared black tea. And then I discovered a whole new world. It’s been a wonderful journey.
Day to day is Yorkshire tea with a little sugar. Every now and then I like to mix some Darjeeling with licorice tea.
Just a plain fujian black.
Hojicha if I'm fancy, two bags of oversteeped liptons with cream and sugar if I'm not fancy.
