I think I love just about any kind of tea. I like herbal, caffeinated, white, green, black, fruit, flower, you name it. One of my bffs got me a tea sampler with some really really awesome teas in it like "Egyptian Mint" and "Italian Camomile". They really do taste like good quality tea as well.
I'm also a tea-with-cream-please sorta gal. And maybe even in my best china with a pinky up too. Though the latter isn't required. I know every kind of tea that will curdle if you put any dairy in it, so obviously those don't get "creamed". But, everything else has. It all started when I was about 11 years old and my family took a vacation to the Cook Islands. They have some New Zealand influences there, so every morning for breakfast, they would have English Breakfast tea and ask if we wanted it "white". I decided to try it and boy, was I hooked. There's something about black tea with cream. It really softens the bitter flavor of black teas and gives it a creamy, desserty flair. My mom and sister tried it as well, but they never got hooked like I did. They drink tea constantly as well, but without cream.
Have you ever had "white" tea? Do you like it?
I sure do. I think I'll go make some now . . .

I'm a fan of fruity teas, but I have to say I guess I never really got addicted to tea. I do enjoy chai tea, but mostly Starbucks (or any coffeehouse) style so it doesn't really count.
Lol, I'm an oddity. I think I must be getting in touch with my hidden inner Englishwoman.
Naw... never was a fan of "defiled" tea ;)
I love herbal infusions. Mint with milk and sugar is my favorite.
I collect tea cups (little known fact about me.)
There's something so civil about sitting and having a cup of tea and the ritual that goes with it.
If you're ever in my neck of the woods please let me know. I'd love to share a pot of tea with you!
I haven't tried mint with milk and sugar! I think I will tonight . . .
