Favourite: Plain black tea (but I try to have decaf most of the time) My household will put a çaydanlık on every night
Go-to: Melbourne Breakfast, the one you can get from T2, or green tea
Least favourite: Rosehip /: Don't like it at all
Special mention- Any drink with cold hibiscus tea in it is sooo nice

It was only a matter of time before the Turkish girl found the tea thread eheheh

I had Melbourne Breakfast with milk for the first time today (after having it black previously)! I prefer it with the milk in it, honestly.

I've had Melbourne Breakfast a few times (all with milk) and have found the vanilla a bit too strong for my liking - makes the tea a bit too sweet, if that's the right expression - it's not like, a conventional "sweet".

I haven't actually tried it with milk ... I'll get back to you guys on that

It is a tiny bit overpowering tbh, but I love vanilla in anything  :P

I'm the same here! (Also kinda a massive sweet tooth and will happily take vanilla coke over normal coke for the same reason haha)

This thread's made me realise i need to drink more tea.  :P

You can never go wrong with the classic english breakfast, however I am quite fond of peppermint tea. How do we feel about teabags - leave it in like a heathen or take it out after a bit?

Leave in for teabag! (But no reuse them obviously)

I also like loose-leaf, my favourite at the mo is Hobart Breakfast (I got it on sale from T2 a while back haha)

A tea thread! I love this!

Favourite: A loose leaf Chai!

Go-to: A bit pricey but atm Yorkshire Gold (loose leaf). Otherwise, Earl Grey or English breakfast.

Least favourite: Unpopular opinion but I am not a fan of T2 teas. I like some of them (melb breakfast etc..) but some of their more fruity(?) ones I don't like. I also don't like their Chai :(

I haven't had yorkshire gold in so long! I need to bring that back into my tea rotation.

I take my tea bags out after a bit! I only ever leave it in if I'm too lazy to go and throw it out  ::) I prefer loose leaf teas though (have finally been converted)  ;D

Leave in indefinitely and re-use several times. 👍

I vaguely remember you saying in a different thread a long long time ago that you have reused a teabag 20 times and to the point where the flavour is very very pale!

This thread is really great! Definitely will be trying some teas from here :)

Favourites: Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Black, Rooibos, Green Tea, Peppermint (sometimes), Chamomile (sometimes), some T2 black teas like Melbourne Breakfast, dessert teas.


Go-to: Usually any of the above. Whatever I have at home!


Least favourites: most Tea Tonic Teas (had some weird flavours that were just not my cup of tea (like Bright Spark Tea for studying, and Blue Magic Tea, where you squeeze lemon in it and it turns purple)), some fruit / infusion teas (looking at you, Lemon and Ginger - this is a good one to reuse the teabag for a more mild flavour), most Pukka teas.

Is iced tea really tea?
