HongKong milk tea, yummy.
We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

I never knew that what I grew up drinking was 'black' tea until I lived abroad. We just call it tea.
You need to pour boiling water onto the tea to get the best from it. Then let it cool and drink it. Dont forget to take the teabag out in good time so your tea doesnt end up stewed.
Also I think the 'warm' beer thing is a misnomer. Its not warm, its just not chilled. I hadnt had an ale in ages in NZ so I was excited to end up at a place serving speights ale. It took me a few sips to realise it tasted odd because it was chilled, thereby killing all the flavour

Sweet Tea with a big ol' Lemon in it. Yum!

I don't like tea or coffee, but my wife drinks lots of tea. Tea is black and hot here by default. Iced tea is something you buy in a soda bottle or can.

Plain black tea is good.
Do not take anything I say seriously. It's just the Internet. It's not real life.
Not entirely true, but then we don't yet experience the kind of sultry summers experienced in some states of the U.S. . Whittards of Chelsea sell a range of teas suitable for serving in an iced fashion:

and also recommend which proper teas are ideal for serving as iced teas.
In the summer I like Moroccan mint tea...

How are the UHT "milk" companies still in business? I've never met anyone that likes it.

Yeah, I consider UHT to be an absolute abomination...

What's wrong with UHT? I buy Lithuanian milk (hello Saras) and it's great despite being UHT.

it tastes burnt.

It tastes cooked, without the common decency of being a pudding.

I'm drinking a pretty good tea. It's green tea, rose hips, echinacea, and mint. I put a little lemon and honey in it and it's damn tasty.

Careful, you'll have the tea purists down on you!

A man likes herbal tea and suddenly he's a peter puffer?
Honestly, I drink tea as a more healthy alternative to soda. Even if you put honey in it the sugar levels are still only a fraction of soda pop plus you get vitamin C (from the lemon & rose hips), anti-oxidants, and probably a few other things from the herbs.

Had a nice cup of matcha. A little goes a long way.

I'd heard of green tea powder but never the Japanese name of matcha. Sounds good.

It's very nice, its easy to control the strength. You can use it anything you would want that flavor in as well, like ice cream.
