So the other post on coffee made me do this... While I LOVE a good cup of coffee, I'm mainly English - so I am a tea-totaler at heart... and I drink ALL day long, both iced and hot.

As a kid I was brought up on iced tea.. we always had it, if nothing else you always knew there'd be a gallon brewing after we got home from school. The only thing that's changed for me now is my iced tea is green tea now. While I enjoy a hearty black/orange pekoe blend, the delicateness of green tea makes it perfect for a cold drink. I know a lot of people prefer sweet tea, not me.. I actually like the taste of tea - I only put a quarter cup of sugar in an entire gallon of my iced tea. And honestly, green tea is some pretty miraculous stuff... I switched to it about ten years ago or so an when I did I felt a HUGE difference after a couple of weeks.

Hot tea is a different story... I like a heartier tea... Breakfast Tea in the morning, either English or Irish. Afternoon Tea I prefer a good Darjeeling.. and at night a full-on Earl Gray.

If you'd like to start learning more about tea, the US Tea Council (http://www.teausa.com/) and the UK Tea Coucil (http://www.tea.co.uk/index.php?pgId=24) are both great places to start.

I like chocolate milk. And if that's not possible, hot chocolate.

Hot tea in the morning is great. A slice of lemon in the glass and a little bit of sugar, and I feel great the rest of the day. Though I've never had fresh brewed green tea, just whatever they sell at stores.

Not big on hot tea for breakfast, but like it other times of the day.

Green tea + sushi = Good

Prefer regular to Earl Grey (can drink Earl Grey, but not my fave). Never had Breakfast or Darjeeling tea (that I know of, at least can't place it). I love the fruit herbal teas but revile any kind of mint tea.

Before I got addicted to coffee in the morning, I would drink Celestial Seasoning's tea on winter mornings. Red Zinger and Lemon Zinger were my favorites. I have an unopened box of Rasberry Zinger at the office, which I need to try (I love rasberries). It's pretty chilly today, so I may try it this afternoon (instead of my usual mid-afternoon Diet Coke).

BTW, shouldnt the thread be called "Tea Drinkers" and not Teatotalers....
A teetotaler is a person that abstains from booze;
Teetotalism is the practice and promotion of complete (or T-total) abstinence from alcoholic beverages. A person who practices (and possibly advocates) teetotalism is called a teetotaler or teetotaller (plural teetotalers or teetotallers.)
