I absolutely love tea.

Tea is easily my favorite drink, as I can prepare it exactly as I want it and it has such great flavor, without being terrible for you like soda, or just bland like plain water.

Since I'm from the south, I absolutely love sweet tea, though I tend to use splenda instead of sugar. I mostly just get Lipton packets from the store, nothing special, but the taste is just fantastic.

So, how do I make my tea the way I do? Well obviously as I said, I sweeten my tea, but with splenda. I don't really measure how much splenda I add, so I can't give you any tips on that, but I use a decent bit.

To counter it being too sweet, I usually use 3 packets (my parents always use two, but I use one extra to add more of the tea leaf flavor in and make it strong).

Thats about it to my tea, though sometimes I do special things with it ;p

Most notably, lately I've been adding spiced apple cider mix into it, so it comes out as a sort of spiced apple tea. Its fan-****ing-tastic.


The most important part of enjoying tea to me though, is the temperature.

Temperature is extremely important when it comes to tea, because theres a certain point where its just gross.

I prefer my tea when its just been made, hot as hell fresh from the boiling teapot. It feels amazing to have hot tea and just feel your body come to life as you take that warm sip of sweet amazingness.

I also enjoy tea when its cold. Just like when its hot, it also feels amazing when its cold, and both hot and cold really bring out the sweetness and flavor of it, at least in the way I make it.

HOWEVER, there is a point inbetween where its not warm anymore, but its not cold, its just like..room temperature. THIS IS BAD.

When tea is room temperature, it just tastes odd I think. It doesn't really make you feel good, and the sweetness to it is overwhelming and not enjoyable at all, its actually gross at this point.

DRINK TEA HOT, OR DRINK IT COLD.

Yeah, thats about all. No special mugs or anything, just lovely tea :3

 

I really enjoy Oolong tea, it's got a really rich and subtle flavor at the same time, you'd have to drink it to understand.

Oolong is my favorite type of tea because it's not bland like those store-brand packets, and it's not overly rich.

My father bought a tea maker when I was about 12~, I wasn't a very picky kid so I just drank what was available in the fridge and tea grew on me.

A little milk while it's hot taste creamy and more thick, only while it's hot though. I recommend you only do this during winter or a very cold night.

Twinings is the best brand that I've bought.

I have a mug I got from a Rain-Forest Cafe that I drink my hot liquids out of.

 

Less qq about bugs, moar tea =D

 

ignore the pot and cup just for the effect lol, i <3 strawberry tea with 1 cube of sugar and 2 teaspoons of honey

love strawberries in general, strawberry flavor and such but this combination is so epic and relaxing ^^

 

Tea? Did someone say mother****ing TEA?
Son in my previous life i was the Chinese Emperor Shen-Nung and i invented tea myself. Yea that's right, i drink about 8 glasses of this awesomeness a day. I don't drink soda i don't drink coffee i only drink water tea and milk. Milk for my prot shakes water during exercise and the rest of the day i only drink tea.

I visit a special teashop in Rotterdam where you can buy real tea instead of the standard fabricated things. But to my shame and horror i must admit that my favorite tea is indeed a fabricated one bought in the supermarkets. I will now try to protect my shame by telling you how awesome this tea is.

Let's start with a picture of this badass tea.

You should only drink this tea when you are feeling extremely manly that day. If you only feel moderately manly that day drink earl-grey or oolang. This tea is what happens when angels and demons mate together. After your first sip, while your mouth and brains are still trying to process the sheer awesomeness of the sweet sensation of the angelic mandarin the demonic bitterness kicks in, the combination of both is powerfull enough to make you soar to the heavens itself and will utterly destroy someone feeling only moderatly manly that day in the process of doing so. You should only drink this tea hot and never ever try to destroy it by adding in other trash like sugar milk and sweetners, you are after all a manly man drinking this tea and should behave like one. Sorry women you cannot understand the fine art of tea and should not attempt to.

Now the next topic will be my drinking glass. I'll add a picture of this extremely manly glass.


At first glanse this may look like an ordinary glass but looks can be deceiving. This glass is not like one of those unmanly thin glasses that burns your hands when touching it. No this glass has a thick layer of isolated glass enabling your cold hands after a hard day of work to warm up without burning it. No one touches my glass.



Remember, if you are feeling extremely manly and are studying, this tea will help you achieve maximum results.

 

I drink tea. I like tea. Where tea?

I win.

 

I don't really participate to this kind of threads, but when we talk about tea...
i can't retain myself :tongue:

"Tea is life".

My favourite tea is traditional arabic mint tea: the best ever :love:





Why is it your favourite?
Simply because tea is 100% natural. no chemical processes, and 100% healthy.
drinking mint tea cleans your mind, and can just make you feeling high (like a drug :lol
it's just from a simple, but incredible natural creation (mint).
I can't live/Play a PvP session without drinking tea (ask last call members ).
when you drink mint tea, you feel no rage, no QQ, nothing wrong.
you just keep the best of what you live and get rid off the rest <3


To work, i like coffee but i find it unefficient compared to tea. =)






Who introduced it to you?
My family is from Algeria, so nobody introduced it to me...
it's naturally flowing in my blood ^^

when i drink tea, i just feel like i'm in africa.

I forget everything (occuring here in france):
cold weather, cold ppl, economic crisis, etc.
just feeling african sun, warming ppl, african smile,
and a lot of other things that i can't explain with words =)


Any special tricks/tips to make it taste 'awesome' (addition of honey, milk, sugar, etc?)?
Nothing to add.
you just need to heat water.
put chinese tea seeds.
sugar.
mint leaves.
put the water on the tea pot.

enjoy =)




I didn't ever expect there would be such a thread on gamez' forum,
and i'm really glad to see other tea fans here. Thank you :smile:

 

you should really try Nes Coffee Frape.. you would be addicted

 

oh yes .. the man starts singing in TS when he had his overdose on tea. :whistling::love:

but he is a person that is always in a good mood and he for sure is a big part of the heart of Last Call .

<3 Triti :love:

and start heating the water .. i am on my way home soon lol

 

what about the 'offend aegis' event? QQ

 

I Love Lipton Tea

I loved it because it's really sweet and refreshing, depends on what flavor.

Nobody introduced it to me, just got it sighted from a vendor machine.

Hmm, I added a little honey with it, makes it MOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEE Sweeter (I love sweets, even I might get Diabetes )

I think I don't have any particular brand that I like.

I used a Mug without a hand (That ear thingy)

Sorry, But I never saw my tea kick Donkey XD
