Tea Drinkers unite!!!!!

Earl Grey, hotter and blacker than the souls of hell. Been addicted for a few months now after giving up coffee with cigarettes 6 months ago.

Also addicted to oolong and other green teas.

I also reuse those giant Fiji water bottles with a little warm water, 3 bags or so and let it chill in the freezer for a few hours.

I need an electric kettle rather than making one cup at a time though in the microwave.

I make "dood patthi chai" (probably spelled wrong, romanizing doesn't always work)..it's basically milk tea with cardamom and cinnamon (i have it without sugar)...must have it once a day or the withdrawals start (only for a day, but still, annoying enough)

As a desi girl, knowing how to make chai is a must heh :p

In Hindi, doodh = milk, patti (i.e. chai patti) = tea leaves, chai = tea. Just sayin ;)

English breakfast tea for me. Must be made by pouring BOILING (not "boiled") water on to the tea. Stew until it's black and strong enough to scour limescale from the inside of a water pipe, then sweeten to taste and add just a very small splash of milk. Repeat about six times before even thinking about getting ready to go to work.

I have Oolong, White tea, Green tea (from the mountain where tea was first commercially grown), a form of red tea which is considered one of the top 10 (It's amazing what you can find in tea shops in Yunnan), and also some Pu'er...

Oh, and then some of the usual breakfast-type tea you find in britain. Is there anyone else here who prefers to drink tea with just tea in it (ie. no milk or anything else like that)?

Generally, I avoid polluting my tea with milk and sugar and honey and all that. I just drink it straight. The only exception for me would be chai, it's just not the same without all the milk and spices and what not!:)
I normally drink standard black tea or green tea in huge mugs on a daily basis, especially in the colder months.. thought I was the only one who switches in the winter! I have been interested in white tea lately.. Opinions on that?
