I'm an English girl who loves tea. I especially love to dip either rich tea or gingernut biscuits. Though custard creams and bourbon creams are great for eating with tea also. I'm a PG Tips girl when it comes to choosing my teabags. I also prefer sugar but no milk.
In fact, I'm having a teaparty in the park with some friends tomorrow.
As for iced tea - it's nice in the summer but I've found that a lot of people, when they talk about iced tea, don't actually mean iced tea. Some people buy it in bottles or in places that seem to make it with some sort of supposedly tea flavoured syrup. I would say this resembles the taste I would expect washing up liquid to have. But that's just me.
On Coffee: Yuck. To me, it just tastes of bitter and sort of tar and... not nice. Though I recently discovered that if it's made with not too much coffee, and a lot of milk and sugar then it's almost drinkable.
Hotchocolate - Would I be able to say no?

I love ginger snaps or molasses cookies with tea. Those or shortbreads, at Christmastime.  I just got two boxes of Stash tea bags at a ridiculously good price at a local grocery store - peppermint and a sampler box of what they're calling 'spice chai', I think. I am excited. New tea. |

I love both coffee and tea lot, though coffee slightly more. Tea is still amazing, though. I adore Irish breakfast tea. And for some reason, I really like medicinal teas, even when I'm not sick.
Anyone else a fan of mate? When I was in Argentina a few years ago, I got hooked and now I drink it all the time. You have to use the gourds, though!

I'm not a fan of tea (a Brit who doesn't like tea, heresay!), well, black tea, but I do love a good cuppa coffee, but only when I make it. I love the taste of coffee, but hate the bitterness, so try and avoid it. Anyone who can recommend non- or less bittery coffee, well, I'd <3 you a lot.
I do like some herbal teas, lemon and ginger and sage <3 I tried camomile and liquorice (not together) and didn't like either of them.

I credit my absolute love to tea on my English heritage. I am very particular on how my tea should be prepared (as is my grandmother, mum, and aunties). The water must be cold when the kettle is filled, it must boil, you must pour the water into a proper pot, you must pour the water over the tea bag, and you must let it steep until the colour is right. I have it with milk-not cream- and no sweetener. I allow it to cool for a moment or so before drinking. It sounds ridiculous but I swear I can taste the difference.
I love other teas too, especially green teas- hot or cold. There is a specialty tea shop across the road from my work and they have a dazzling selection of green teas. My favorite is one called Moonlight On The Grove, romantic sounding, isn't it?
I am also most certainly a coffee drinker. It helps greatly that I work at Starbucks (I feel very offended now if I am forced to pay even more so if it's full price). I prefer making my own drinks because I can be as picky as I like without harassing my coworkers.
Here's my training coming out (they make you do tastings quite often). Coffee is always going to quite bitter, especially if you don't add anything to it. I would suggest going for a coffee with a citrus twist, I find them very nice.
Favorite coffee drink at Sbux (currently): Grande, half sweet, extra foam, carmel macchiato.
Favorite tea drink at Sbux (of ALL time): Venti, easy ice, two pump classic, two pump raspberry, shaken passion tea lemonade. <-- about three a day

www.newhallcoffee.com/ makes the best coffee in the universe. $Bucks tastes burnt and astringent after drinking Newhall's, which is smooth as <I>silk</i>. Celestial Seasonings has a whole bean organic line of coffees that I really like, as well.

Being a southern girl, I am a huge fan of sweet tea. I drink it at every meal-except breakfast. That's for orange juice.
But I also like hot teas-my favorites right now are Two Leaves and a Bud Jasmine Blossom. It's amazing..
Also, my favorite tea at Starbucks is berry chai. If you haven't had it, go get some!

I am not a big fan of teas or coffee. Coffee is way too bitter for me and for some reason I can't taste anything when I drink tea. All it taste like is hot water. I do love hot chocolate from Starbucks, especially the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate. It is very good
