Loose leaf most of the time

Depends. No non-teas like chamomile and fruit tisanes. But Monks Blend and other black teas with flavors are great (they have actual tea in them).

Hot AND iced

3 or so cups/glasses a day


Murchies teas are the teas of choice... even with the tariffs.
 
I use:
B) loose leaf brewed in teapot, sort of. I heat water in a teapot and pour it over the leaves, which are in a cup.
But I also also make a pitcher of bagged iced tea almost every day.

2. Flavored teas?
B) No
The hot tea is herbal. The iced tea is a blend of pekoe, ginger, and Earl Grey. Sometimes also turmeric. Always a little sugar.

3. Hot or iced?
C) other (both)

4. Cups a day?
B) 2 - 3 of the hot tea.
D) other - 4 to 6 glasses a day of the iced.

5. Your favorite brand(s).
For the iced tea, usually Red Rose or Tetley's. Anything but Lipton. No Lipton! Lipton sux; worst tea on the planet.
The hot tea is yerba, and I buy either Taragui or Cruz de Malta.

I start out with hot tea and then I get distracted and it gets cold so sometimes it becomes iced tea.
I will drink regular iced tea in the summer.

I also drink hot water. I saw some place that said drinking hot water would help to lose weight. It doesnt work.
But I have always had a hard time drinking enough water and I found that I will drink hot water.
So thats a win. :D


Red Zinger and Herbal Tea is vile. :eek: :sick:
 
I use tea bags and used to make hot tea in the microwave, which is now dead. I was boiling water and add 5 tea bags to steep for my iced tea, now I'll have to boil it for hot tea. I use a pot, don't have a kettle.

I keep a vintage electric percolator minus its innards on the counter. Keeps instant hot water ready for whatever.
I use it cause it was here. If you dont do coffee I would get an electric hotpot.
I used to heat my water in the microwave but this is much more convenient. It so nice to have instant hot water.
Sometimes I put in several tea bags and just make a big pot of tea.

1. I use loose-leaf only brewed in a teapot. If I can't find loose-leaf, I tear tea bags open and brew the tea only.
2. Never sweetened or flavored
3. Always hot (iced tea is another story, unrelated to the preparation of hot tea)
4. Number of cups per day is variable. Coffee is boss here.
5. Black tea is ST. DALFOUR organic Ceylon. Green tea is HAIKU organic Japanese sencha. Herbal tea brands vary, but always organic, many are locally harvested or home grown, as Hudson tea, cranberry-leaf tea or dandelion-root tea

1 bags but sometimes ginger tea from ginger, no bag.
2 yes flavored
3 warm, not hot. I add quite some cold water, cause I don't want to wait
4 more than 4, around 8 I think or more. I only drink tea and in the morning 1 or 2 coffee.
5 cheap supermarket brand, packet for 90 cent. I don't taste the difference if I buy Pickwick or that.
