@Stormwatch,

Drink it while it's hot! But be careful and don't burn your tongue.

@edgarblythe,
I greatly prefer ordinary Assam black loose leaf tea but often slum with Twinnings English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast tea bags. I really don't like aromatic teas such as Earl Grey or Lady Grey or Gunpowder or any of the green teas. I'm an elitist tea snob.
lady Diane as a cupboard full of green teas, mint teas and herbal teas. but when she really wants to sit down and relax, take a time out, she will brew a pot of Assam.

@dyslexia,
Assam or Dimboulas have an aftertaste that doesnt agree with me, so I usually stay away unless Im at a restaurant that doesnt have a selection. (I will often dring decaf coffee instead).

I love mint teas too and bergamot, they have a nice refreshing bite . Also rooibos.
Ever tried Puehr? dys. Its like tea and mushrooms together.
Still, my fav is LApsang.

Mixture of orange spice and green tea, with a little orange juice (fresh squeezed). 2 p.m. most days.

I'm not a tea person, but I know that green or black tea is healthy yet don't taste that great for me, so I mix with orange spice. Or, something like that.

Very boring is me, when it comes to tea.

@Pemerson,
Orange juice must be a healthier sweetener then plain sugar. I know I add too much sugar in every cup of tea I drink.

@farmerman,
I been meaning to read a good anthology of Lovecraft myself. It'd be fitting this time of year.

BTW: When was the last time you hugged your favorite Cthulu priestess or related demigod?

@edgarblythe,
I've been drinking Taylors of Harrogate Scottish Breakfast Tea. It's a good strong tea with a mild maltiness but can get bitter if you let it sit in the cup and brew over 3 minutes.

@tsarstepan,
Lovely. Smile

So may I have a cup of your very best tea then, please? In your most elegant & exquisite tea cup. (with matching saucer, of course!)
I'll let you choose, tsar, as you are the expert in these things.
I know it will be perfect!
Thank you!
