tea

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.

Oh, me too. Vines heavy with nodding yellow & white heads. Warm scented night breezes. Competing with the bees for the nectary tops. Aaaaah.

What I have I stumbled on by accident, looking for white tea, after being served a most amazing cup thereof up at treacle_well's. Down in DC, in Dupont Circle, at the tiny kitchen/housewares store near Kramerbooks (it's barely wide enough to walk through single file, and has an astounding selection of goodies), I found Honeysuckle White tea -- white tea with "natural honeysuckle flavoring". Like liquid flowers. Mmmmmm.

Can I bring cattitude over to visit you? He's a big honeysuckle fan. (I'd like to try it myself, but less eagerly, I suspect.)

Drop by anytime. Or, if you have a hard time getting him into the neighborhood, drop by yourself and pick up a teabag. :-).
