Usually I make green tea from a bag rather than loose, although I do like matcha. Tetley is one of my tea brands!
Pure. No cream, no sweeteners, just tea.
I usually brew loose leaf tea at home, and save tea bags to easily make tea at work or on the go.
I usually use teabags…..I like it strong and sweetened with just a little bit of sugar.
I steep my tea either from a bag or with my tea strainer. I prefer green tea though have bought some from various other places as well and various other types.
I drink it plain
Loose leaf tea, nothing added. I love tea!
Plain all the way for me if it’s green, although I occassionally like a bit of milk in oolong.
I just drink it straight without any honey or sweetener. Also I brew it fairly strongly by steeping it for a long time. 🙂
I usually just grab a tea bag in the morning and fill my thermos with hot water at school! Simple and easy!

To make life easier, I started drinking my black tea straight and it’s so much tastier that way. Anything but Red Rose.
I boil water and then put in a tea bag and pour!
I prefer my black teas with some milk, but green just as is.
I love tetley tea brewed in a large pot for 5 minutes to let it steep and drink it plain to savour every last drop.It’s great for iced tea as well.YUMM!
I use almost exclusively loose leaf and drink it without milk or sugar.
I prefer loose leaf tea but when I run out or am on the go, I use tea bags. I drink it plain – no milk or sugar. So comforting, especially on a cold and rainy day 🙂
i brew it and than chill in the fridge for my water bottle
I love tea! Orange pekoe steeped for 8 minutes, with a bit of sugar and milk. It is such a comfort on rainy days like today.
I usually drink it plain or with a bit of honey!
Milk and honey.
Honey and milk
I steep mine
Milk & sugar
I drink a matcha latte everyday, plain with skim milk
I love my tea at 165 degrees, with sugar cane or honey. It compliments my double chocolate chip cookie.
Firstly, I must be in my robe and fluffy slippers when I’m boiling my water. Secondly, I hem and haw for a couple of minutes over which tea to drink that day. Lastly, I fill my Snoopy mug and turn on my computer to start the day.
I drink plain green tea, nothing added, I will brew a small pot for myself in the evening …. it is my favourite tea.
I drink tea everyday. mostly loose leaf tea, and green tea (bags).

I drink 2 mugs of Tetley’s peppermint tea per day for health issues with my kidneys and it has done wonders for me! I just steep for a few minutes in my mug, add some honey and that’s it!
i like mine plain or sometimes with honey and almond milk (for kinds like chai) it is definitely tea season in Vancouver.
Drink that stuff everyday!
With boiled water in a Brown Betty perfectly steeped until I can smell the aroma I like Jasmine tea. Hold a teenie tea ceremony and enjoy with a 100 gram chocolate bar no more no less
Just tea and H20 *yum*
I’d love to add honey and lemon to green tea!
No need for anything else but green tea – several cups a day!
Black tea with milk and spices (chai), herbal and green teas just boil water and steep.
Like my grandma does….with milk only!
I usually use loose tea. Green or herbal teas I drink clear. Black teas I like with milk, or sometimes a little Baileys!
orange pekoe boiled, then add milk, let it boil and then drink
if it’s green tea, i just steep it as is. if it’s earl grey or breakfast fea, then i steep it, add 2 sugar cubes, and some milk, and i’m good to go!
My new favourite is Tetley green tea with ginger honey that I bought at Edible Canada.
I steep my tea in a cute little teapot from David’s Tea. I normally drink green tea with a bit of honey or half a tsp of sugar.
I usually only drink tea when I run out of beer…

I like my green tea iced with a little splash of agave nectar, or on a cold day I’ll squeeze in some lemon and drink it hot. =)

Glow with hot water all day long! I am not a water drinker so this helps
Most of the times I use tea bags and hot water.
Sometimes I add skim milk if it is a black tea, lattes are always nice for a change up 🙂

Depends on the tea. If it is green I like it plain, but if it is chai I have to have milk in it.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot…. and nothing in it. Gets the brain juices flowing 🙂
I drink tea sometimes at work for an afternoon pick-me-up! 🙂
Tea Bags
Loose leaf tea in a big mug
I boil the waer, swirl the tea pot, add black tea ( darjiling is my favourite),& let it seep for 5 minutes with tea cozy to ensure the tea stays piping hot. Then I drink my tea in a lovely china tea cup.
I keep it simple – boiling water and a tea bag.
It’s as simple as it can get-a tea bag and water-although usually made in my favourite mug!
I always start the morning with a cup of tea. Boil water and drop a tea bag in the mug.
Water.. tea bag.. and add some honey in when it’s done! Yummy!
i like all kinds of teas, hot with just a little bit of sugar
I like my tea without cream or sugar.
I drink loose green tea straight up without sweetener, and I make matcha green tea lattes by whisking matcha powder into soy milk simmering on the stovetop!

strong with milk and honey yum…
Switching to tea means no more dreaded coffee mouth. I prefer green teas or rooibos and grab a glass of hot tea as soon as I begin my morning. I use bagged tea at work and prefer loose whole leaf tea at home on the weekends. I always steep my tea at about 5 degrees under the boiling temperature (never ever boil the tea). 🙂
If it’s a green tea, I like it plain. Black teas I like with milk & sugar.
I sometimes use a tea ball or put loose leaf in a sachet and steep for a few minutes for a stronger brew. Usually drink it plain but will add some cane sugar and splash of milk for earl greys or honey/lemon/ginger in green teas.
drink it plain. taste the best. if its a bit bitter, add a little honey
Chai with a splash of milk every morning or plain if it’s a herbal tea.
I like my tea black!

I drink so much tea! I start in the morning with some matcha powder in my green smoothie. Then, I have a breakfast blend with soya and stevia. At lunch I have an organic chai, again with soya and stevia. Ay night I drink herbal teas, usually a mint or something similar.

I love love love tea. No coffee for me, green tea is the way I wake up in the mornings! On weekdays I use tea bags as it’s quicker, boiling the water as I get ready, giving it some time to cool so it steeps at the right temperature. On weekends I prefer looseleaf as I have the time to enjoy it and clean up after. There’s now a tea sommelier class being offered at VCC which sounds really interesting, and they’ve got new perfect temperature kettles made for tea lovers. Both things I should be investing in too! Along with some knowledge of the healing properties of various leaves and flowers. All in time I suppose. The Tetley pack would be a fantastic start!
I drink my tea many ways, love fruit teas, green tea and earl grey
I’ve gotten into the habit of having it every day at work. I almost always have it with just water, no milk unless I get it from Starbucks.
I’m almost through my Tazo teas and looking for some new delicious flavours to try.

I drink loose leaf green & roasted green tea.
I already drink Tetley Green Tea. I use a glass mug, and drink it plain – no milk, no sugar. I like to smell and taste the other additional ingredients.
I use fresh water brought to a rolling boil and brew it in a preheated teapot. I drink it clear, without sugar to enjoy the full flavour of the tea.
I usually use tea bags. I’m trying to get back to drinking green and roiboos teas, but am still more tempted by coffee first thing in the morning.
Tea everyday, all day.
I use tea bags and no sugar/no milk.

With a little bit of honey and some cardamom and fennel seeds…YUM!

I have a wonderful “Made in Canada” Paderno Vienna stainless steel teapot for my tea. I always “mother” the pot with scalding water and drain before pouring the boiling water over the Tetley teabags. I use one teabag per cup of tea. I cover with my homemade tea cozy and wait 10 minutes before pouring the perfect cup of tea. I like to add some local honey to my tea. Tetley is my favorite brand of tea and when I travel I keep a small container of teabags in my purse because no other brand tastes as good to me. The perfect cuppa is accompanied by a homemade gingersnap or speculaas cookie when available.
I enjoy my tea with a little milk and sugar. I enjoy it in the morning with toast. I have enjoyed toast and tea in the morning since I was a child.
Tea and honey 🙂
I use my keurig to brew k-cup teas, I boil hot water and use traditional tea bags, and when I’m hot a pour a glass of ice tea! I love tea!!!
