black, no sugar, no nothing, leave the bag in there until it talks or doesn’t move anymore
This is the way. But milk teas and boba tea is pretty good for a tea mix drink.
This made me lol. Thank you
How do you take your tea?
“Well, usually I take it right back to the counter, because someone’s made a horrible mistake.” - Ted Lasso
That’s pretty good…
Earl Grey, hot, plz.
If you like iced tea, maybe try it that way once.
Earl Grey makes an amazing iced tea, and a cool change from standard Black Pekoe. It’s got of a spicy-flowery taste, altho I’d still recommend adding lemon or citrus powder, etc.

Green, any herbs in are fine, no flavorings.
hot, straight, not oversteeped, served in a small Asian-style teacup without handles
is this some sort of sex joke?
No, then I would have said “I like my tea like I like my women: hot, sweet, and with a large cup size.”
Ok, but you said
- Hot
- straight
- not oversteeped - not overly demanding
- Asian-style teacup - small tits
- without handles - without (romantic) name calling.
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
(small amount of sugar, Sorry Cap’n)
I have something to say that will change the way nearly every American on Lemmy will perceive the world
I dont like tea… and I’m a brit.
And that’s okay. ;)
I am AGHAST.
Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.
Preferably liquid, but I wouldn’t say no to solid or gaseous forms. Would probably not try to ingest it in plasma form.
I mostly drink either a strong black tea blend (something that is neither too malty or astringent) with a bit of milk and sugar, masala chai, or a Chinese green tea like a Tie Guan Yin or a jasmine pearl.
I also love a good bubble tea, usually a simple pearl milk tea with less sugar.
Sweetened, doesn’t particularly matter with what. Though I think my favorite has been a honey/citron/ginger tea from Costco. No caffeine, but the flavor was immaculate.
Mostly black, but after living in the UK for awhile I got used to doing a touch of honey and/or milk.
Depends on the tea. Black tea with a little milk is the classic, bonus points if loose leaf
Not German. I mean that. Any black tea you drink in Germany just doesn’t mix right with milk. The colour goes grayish and you taste more the milk than the tea.
English black tea mixes impressively well with milk. Breakfast Tea, Yorkshire Blend, hell, even Earl Grey – the colour goes a deep vibrant brown and the tea taste and effect is intensified.
I’m neither joking nor exaggerating.
Is it the type of water as well maybe? Are you describing German brands of tea (a new concept to me)
It could be the water. I don’t think it is, as I can’t believe that UK water is so drastically different than what’s going on in Germany, but it could be.
I described common English brands/types that mix well with milk. In the UK, when you say “tea” it’s immediately understood that you’re referring to black tee.
In Germany, “tea” is something else. Tea could mean fruit or herbs or black, it’s all on the same level there. Black tea is just another herb tee somehow to them
