Feb. 7th, 2003 09:26 amIt's a beautiful snowy day, and I have a whole lot of work to do, so why not waste some time answering questions about one of my favorite substances?
1. Are you a tea drinker?
Yes indeed.
2. Which do you prefer: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Black Tea, or Green Tea?
As a class, I prefer black teas: Twining's Prince of Wales ("tea of historians"), Keemun, Darjeeling. The specific tea depends on my mood. I'm also a huge fan of something I was told was called "Scottish Breakfast," which is a breakfast tea blend with some Lapsang Souchang mixed in. I don't much care for regular English Breakfast (too bitter) or Early Grey (too mild).
3. What is your favorite herbal tea?
Mint, probably. I used to really like rose-hip tea, but I think I OD'ed on it. I'm also quite fond of that Turkish apple tea, although it is not "tea" in any meaningful sense fo the word.
4. Do you take ice in your cold tea?
People drink ice tea without ice in it? That's got to be illegal.
5. Have you ever had Sweet Tea?
I don't know what that is, so probably not.
And now a question of my own. Does anyone else have the "milk/no milk" problem? Sometimes I take my tea with milk, sometimes I don't. It depends on the kind of tea, the time of day, how I feel, where I am, all kinds of things. This drives my husband's family insane, because they like a simple "how do you take your tea?" (with a "milk and/or sugar" response) with one answer to be remembered. It's also caused a mixup at the patisserie I go to, where I asked for milk once, and now the woman at the counter always brings me milk with my tea.
