Here I work at a Company with a $3,000 Espresso machine with 20 different kinds of syrup in the front, and all I drink is tea! LOL. I know, what a waste! LOL- Since the boyfriend is from England, all I drink is tea with milk - for the past 5 years.. LOL

I'm a total tea addict. I always take it black, so never any sugar or milk for me. At home me and my flatmate have 10-15 different types of tea in out cupboard ranging from apple and cinnamon, to white tea, raspberry and rose. They're all great but nothing beats a cup of Tetley first thing in the morning to get you going.

I never really drink coffee. I had one recently because I was at my friend's and we had already had a good few cups of tea and she wanted coffee so I was too polite to refuse her offer after inflicting so much tea upon her. After that cup I think I'll probably not have another for a good few months because it just isn't my thing.

I drink Jasmine tea without milk and sugar. I drink a very occasional expresso but tea is the drink for me!

OOOHHH tea with honey....THAT's a good drink too.
And the Germans taught me...hot tea with rum, when I was a foreign exchange student over there.

STASH is the brand name. It comes in a box and calls itsself:

STASH - Fusion
green & white tea

Here this their commercial - printed on the box:

"White tea is full of potent antioxidants and may even be more beneficial than green tea. Rare and expensive white tea from China has been blended with top quality green teas for our Fusion blend. Pale gold in color, this tea has a unique smooth flavor and a hint of sweetness. Its delicate, exquisite taste is a treat for the connoisseur."

NOW -- I ask you....how can anybody say no to that?

It says White tea, Japanese green, Chinese green, Assam green, Darjeeling green, and organic green teas.

I got tired of the *free Lipton* and *Earl Gray* tea they were serving at the office, so I picked up a box of this stuff.

I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 45 and was mis-diagnosed with MS. The Dr suggested I drink ONE CUP of coffee in the morning which should help the MS symptom of vertigo.

It finally was discovered that what I WAS suffering from was Aspartame Toxicity...which mimics MS. (I was drinking nearly a 12-pack of Diet Coke a day!!!!)

I've always consumed a decent quantity of tea, as well. Mainly, green tea. But, I go through phases with that.

Now, Iced Tea, I drink that a whole lot now that I've finally weaned myself off the Diet Cokes.

Yup, I'm in the UK. Don't think I've ever had PG Tips before because I was brought up on Tetley. Sometimes I'll have some Nambari. I'd say my most common tea is Earl Grey since I'd have at least two cups of that a day but I only drink Tetley first thing in the morning. I'd have a whole load of herbal teas as well but they change depending on my mood and what ones I've got in stock.

yeah, diet soda is actually worse for you than regular if you arent a diabetic....

that sucks that happened to you Chili....

Iced Tea is soo good though.
Question: Does anyone here brew their own...or do you just use the powder mix like I do?

OM Goodness!!! nearly 12 packs a day! I bet you feel a million times better now having given up on those (and no doubt lost a bit of weight as well...those things can def make you wobble in all the wrong places!)

Hey ChiliD --

If regular Coke will eat the rust off of a nail, what does 12 Diet Cokes do?

Didn't you have a scare with MotrinIB too?
