Via yonmei, a Friday Five I actually have something to say about.


1. Are you a tea drinker?
Yes.

2. Which do you prefer: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Black Tea, or Green Tea?
English breakfast is a black tea. I prefer Ceylon Breakfast, pure Assam, Irish breakfast, or PG tips, but English breakfast is fine. So are some flavored teas, like vanilla, cinnamon, or mango. I'm not an Earl Grey drinker.

3. What is your favorite herbal tea?
By default, Bigelow's orange-and-spice

4. Do you take ice in your cold tea?
Usually, but I tend to put ice in a lot of cold drinks.

5. Have you ever had Sweet Tea?
If I understand the question correctly, no. Never even heard of it. If this means, do I put sugar in my tea, yes I do, and milk as well, when drinking black (Indian-style) teas. Not in oolongs. Edited based on Minnehaha's info: Sure. I usually sweeten my iced tea.

I drank some of your Darjeeling yesterday, when I was wondering if caffeine might help my head. I'm still not terribly fond of it.

Irish Breakfast is so much nicer than English Breakfast that it isn't funny, I don't know what Jackson of Piccadilly are thinking. When I worked in London I used to go into their shop and buy tea and get given free samples of all sorts of weird things, but I never tried their Irish Breakfast until I was in Montreal.
