I need a little caffeine. Tea can have a lot of caffeine but you have to make it stonger to get it. I like my tea on the light side, it tastes better.

I'm on Jasmine Green at the moment, but sometimes I do my own blends with strange herbs. Traditional Chinese Medicine has some nice/foul tasting blends, and it reminds me of a witches cauldron with all the strange looking things that get thrown in!

my usual choice is green tea, clear,for all of the health benefits, and the taste isn't as acidic, but orange peeko, which a black tes is nice with lots of milk(and a cookie), but my guilty pleasure is Hot Cinnamon Spice, a blend of black tea and a 5 cinnamon blend with orange peel,(it tastes like the cinnamon heart candy, but no sugr added or needed) oh and cinnamon is another antioxidant.
seems no matter what you choose Ace you can't go wrong!!

Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me
I love tea 
I live on a combination of Green tea and rosehips during the day and end off with valerian with peppermint at night.

I'm a big tea fan. I tend to like the darker, richer varieties like Assam, and smoked teas like lapsang souchong or a nice Russian caravan.
I do "do" other types of tea, oolong and the occasional green or herbal tea (this stuff is great before bed) but black tea with a little milk is heaven.
There are few pleasures like pouring a little milk into a properly brewed, wide-brimmed cup of tea and watching the liquids cloud and swirl together until the whole thing becomes... well, a nice cup of tea!

I don't either (I haven't heard of doing so and in the UK it's rare to drink black tea without milk), the key is a combination of just enough milk combined with the perfect amount of time brewing the tea, which can be anything up to 4 minutes. Different types of tea and cup sizes call for different amounts of milk as well. Nothing worse than weak milky tea, imho.Connor Lidell wrote: I don't seem to do the whole "milk" with tea thing right... every time I try to do it myself, it never goes right.
I think my problem is that I don't heat the milk before adding it to the tea... lol.
