Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea

[salinea]

I drink about three cups of tea by day. Earl grey at breakfast, with a bit of bread. Two cups during my day at work, currently some chinese mix of green tea and smoked tea.
In the evening I also drink some vervein.

I drink it as much to warm myself up as for the purpose of drinking.

I drink it without any sugar or anything else. I often joke I drink my tea as I drink whiskey, and whiskey as I drink tea, no additive, thanks. (exception for the genuine kind of arab mint green tea, which must be very sweet)

I drink it when it's very hot, almost still boiling. I know when I drink with others, I'm always finishing my cup when they are starting to find it warm enough to start drink.
When my tea is too cool, I can't stand how bitter it is.

I also drink my tea without any additives, although I used to put massive amounts of sugar in it as a child. My favorite brand is a chinese tea called po-nay. Maybe if you dilute the tea (use more water), it won't taste as bitter?

Hurray for fellow non-coffee tea drinkers!

I never used to drink tea as a child ! I started the addiction when I turned 18.

Po-nay *writes it out*

I think it's partly because I leave the satchel thingy in it too long in those cases. And also simply because I like it better very hot ^^

Hurray indeed ! I remember once reading a line in a Sci-Fi novel a character wondering how most people seemed to drink coffee reguarly in the 20th century though that did explain a lot of bad decisions in political and environmental topics. It struck me as a very smart comment ^^
