A Query: Are you a tea drinker? Favorite(s)? Bags or by the pot? If bags, do you reuse the teabag? Lifelong habit or adopted when older?
Tea: Me, coffee since high school(60 years ago). Tea drinking started after age 50. Black coffee in the morning with breakfast. Tea choice in order of preference and daily use: EarlGrey, Oolong, herbal varieties or decaf black. Time of day, mid-morning(10:00AM), mid-afternoon(3:00PM), mid-evening(8:00PM no caffeine), I never reuse the teabag. I dip a couple of times while brewing for 2.5 minutes, in microwaved water, nearly boiling, and squeeze the bag with the tag before discarding. I do have a tea ball but don't use it anymore, don't make it by the pot. Single cups only.
Green tea and mint by the gallon cold ,never developed a coffee habit
I like tea. We use teabags. I just leave the bag in the hot water until I remember it's there. I don't reuse the bags. And I have used Keurig tea pods. Tea is something I started experimenting with as an adult, after I decided I should do something about the coffee addiction.
I use a tea infuser. Many modern teabags made with synthetic polymers release large numbers of micro‑ and nanoplastic particles during brewing; studies report billions of particles per cup and show these particles can interact with human intestinal cells.
...I have taken to drinking tea on some mornings and purchase a brand from the UK. Brews a nice strong cup.
I can only choke down coffee if it's half cocoa. Otherwise, it's a hard pass. I don't do bitter. I drink tea occasionally. Usually flavored teas, like Chai or almond, and I add French vanilla creamer. Unless I happen to get a mint or citrus tea (uncommon). Those don't get creamer. And I use tea bags, used once, not squeezed.
My parents weaned their children from the bottle and sippy cups by giving them 'coffee milk with sugar' in a real glass or mug. So my addiction started early. I cut out the sugar when I almost 30, and stopped drinking all sodas then. Tea, well it depends. Chamomile for migraines, Irish or English Breakfast with milk and a small spoon of sugar. My son and I loved stopping for British Tea when we would shop in London or Ipswich on the weekends. I also keep Green Tea for special occassions. And my flatmate has his own favorites we stock. Bag is fine for a quick cup, but when we both feel the need, the fancy tea pots comes out.
The Commissary is able to get some tea brands from England that I like, along with biscuits.
Yeah, mint.
It's one of the herbals that I use. I really like mint tea in the evening. I've tried to like green tea but it just doesn't happen.
I cheat and mix green tea and mint or spearmint when I brew it .......
Yorkshire Decaff tea, made in a pot to do several mugs (probably just under ten most days). I do have instant coffee too, and ground coffee after lunch at the weekend and on holidays, but mainly tea.
...Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire is the brand I get..
However, I still am an avid coffee drinker, though not to the extreme as I was years ago (like when i would fill a 48 oz Stanly thermos to get through my morning radio show and then go down to the cafe in the college union building when that ran dry).
These days I tend to prefer the espresso process over drip or percolated coffee as it is lower in acid. I also only purchase whole bean coffee from small batch roasters instead of the mainstream supermarket brands.
Tea: Lots. My mom always put a jug of sun tea on the swingset slide to steep when my grandprents were due to arrive that day, and she and my grandmother would sit down and have a cup right off. I would have one too because I wanted to be part of the ritual, but I thought it was vile. My first girlfriend in high school had so, so much tea in her house (cultural thing) and I got into drinking it more because of her (also discovered there was life beyond Lipton). I mostly do loose leaf by the cup with one of those little inserts that looks like an upside down hat. Type depends on mood and energy levels... I have an extensive tea cupboard, so there are lots of choices. I don't reuse the leaves.
Coffee: started in college the first time. I gave it up while I was trying for/making kids, but college put me back on it again, and Little Dude's sleep disorder was the final nail in the coffin of making it a permanent thing. My blood type is probably French Roast by now (although I did cut back a lot once I graduated). I have an espresso machine and make myself coffeeshop mocha lattes when I'm feeling fancy, but usually it's French press with a scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (not the world's best creamer, but research shows it helps keep cholesterol down, and I'm doing my best to mitigate a family history of heart issues).
...I don't actually drink plain water if I can avoid it. I don't like the taste, even for the filtered stuff.
(So if we keep this discussion going 4 more pages, do we get the Drink Your Tea And Like It Complaint Thread?
Maybe. It will be up to whoever has the first post on the new thread.
Complaint: This seems to be the year of terrible health news. My middle sibling has been rushed to the hospital, with a stroke. They are only 44.
Being an HGV (semi for you 'Muricans) driver, I live on coffee. However I am having to find alternatives as I think after drinking coffee for over 30 years in vast quantities, I'm now caffeine immune
... yes you can build up a tolerance. It happened to me back then I could even drink coffee after 16:00 and still be able to sleep soundly all night (still can to this day)..
