I am a tea drinker. I have my tea (Assam or when slumming, Twinnings English Breakfast) with lemon and sugar. Lady Diane, on other hand, has her tea (most anything from Liptons to every variety of herbal) with cream and sugar. I am a tea purist, lady Diane however, is without any sense of taste or decorum.
I also am an atheist while Lady Diane is an agnostic. I believe my point here is clear.
@dyslexia,
I am even purist-er than you. I drink my tea with just tea in it.
I am about to fix myself and mrs edgarblythe cups of hot chocolate. We be apostates.

That would seem a bit dry for my taste.
@dyslexia,
I'm an atheist who occasionally drinks Stash licorice spice tea. Shall I go to hell?
Complicating matters, I've thought your assam is good. When I used to be catholic, which the philoforum folk know about by now, I liked Lipton's, served with soda crackers and butter.
One of my fond memories as a kid was the occasional Lipton tea. I buy it to this day.
@dyslexia,
Ah, where is Dante when I need him. On your chair, I suppose.
I am a theist, and I always put honey in my tea.
Will anyone still speak to me?
@Eva,
eva honey, honey would be a redundancy, you're already the sweetest lady on a2k.
I usually drink my tea black, or sometimes with cream and sugar.
I don't like any herbal tea at all besides I have to take it medicine.
I suppose, this proves that I'm a Roman Catholic.
@Walter Hinteler,
Walter, I continue to believe you are a follower of Christian Rosenkreuz.
Oh man, odd man out drinking only green and red tea w/ honey when possible.
@GoshisDead,
I drink more and more green, don't feel all all alone.
I don't like the taste of tea all that much, except for chai, chai2. But I recently had a dental bridge fall off, went into the clinic thinking they would stick it back on, and walked out four hours later minus one molar. They gave me gauze compresses to hold against the gaping pit, which were supposed to stop the bleeding, but signally failed, and it was getting on to five o'clock when they shut down operations, so I called and threw myself on their mercy, not wanting to bleed all night, and they told me, "Wet a tea bag and put it in there and bite down on it to put pressure on" and I thought, "Yeah, right, a tea bag, pull the other leg why don't you". So I canvassed the office and one person had tea bags, and gave me one and I tried it for twenty minutes and nothing happened and I was thinking, "Geez, I've never had tea that tasted anywhere near this good," which made me kinda suspicious, so I checked and it wasn't actually tea but herbal tea, some kind of orange spice thing. So I went to the local whole foods store, but they're purists and have forty different kinds of tea leaves, but only two or three kinds of tea bags way off on one side. But I got some kind of black tea tea bag, and wet it and put it in the molar gap and bit down on it, and by god in fifteen minutes or so the bleeding stopped. So, just in case your molars are dicey, remember: tea bags, real tea, not herbal. Tea bag, NOT Tea party.
@ossobuco,
Whew, tea can be the key to being part of the cool kids crowd, was worried for a second.
@MontereyJack,

I'm not your local woohoo.
@GoshisDead,
Oh, I give up already. What are you going to say next?
@ossobuco,
You donnnn no me, I dink wa' I waaa' (written in my best Jerry Springer guest accent)
