I don’t. If somebody puts tea in front of me I will drink it but I never ask for tea or seek it out. For a hot drink I want coffee, for a cold drink I want water.
Just asking out of idle curiosity.
I do even though I drink more coffee. I grew up with it. My great grandmother and grandmother came over on the boat from England. Since my great grandmother lived across town from where I grew up, and didn’t die till I was in college, there was no way to avoid tea. “Milk tea” consisting of more milk than tea was a part of visits even in my very early memories. As we aged the milk to tea ratio just changed.
I would differentiate between hot tea and iced tea. I don’t drink hot tea, but iced tea is pretty much all I drink when I am out.

I like black teas. Something you can add milk and sugar too and still have flavor. Green Tea is just hot water with food coloring.
Definitely. First thing in the morning and last thing at night. And in hot weather, iced tea is the best thing to drink.
I do. Hot black tea, preferably Irish Breakfast or English Breakfast, with a splash of milk.
I never used to like tea; it’s something I picked up within the past 10 years, when my running partner (she grew up in Dublin) introduced me to it.
Coffee for breakfast. Tea during the rest of the day. Usually Yorkshire or Ty-phoo.
I do not like but would drink black tea if someone went to the effort of making it for me. I hate green tea, though.
I quite agree. I know it’s chockful of antioxidants, just can’t get past the no flavor/odd flavor dilemma.
Prefer black teas, hot or iced, both with lemon, no sweeteners. Earl Grey is a particular favorite, but any strong, black(ploughman’s(?)) tea suits me fine.
As I write this I’m enjoying a cup of Bigelow English Teatime tea.
Morning: coffee
Afternoon: tea
Evening: beer
Wwwwaaaayyyy back in the early 70’s I got a summer job in Liverpool. I had the impression (wrong in retrospect, but I believed what people told me back then 
) that I wouldn’t get as much milk as I liked (still an avid milk drinker, but was much more so back then) and that everybody over there drank lots of tea. So, the winter before heading across the pond I made myself get used to drinking tea. I succeeded and it stuck. I still like tea but have never learned to like coffee.
I like Southern-style iced sweet tea the best.
I have an online friend from the UK, named Rebecca. When I told her of my tea preference, she said, “You drink iced tea? On PURPOSE?!”
Even in the hottest of hot weather, a nice cup of hot tea is refreshing.
I recently got a big box of Stash brand peach tea. Whoo! Yummies!
Yep and am something of a tea snob.
I don’t like coffee, so when I want a hot beverage that has caffeine in it, I drink black tea. I also like the fact that it comes in so many varieties (I mean, even black tea has lots of different types with different flavors) - from the smoky goodness of lapsang souchong, to the lovely jasmine, to any of the excellent blends that are available. And it can be flavored with fruit, with spices (chai) or with heavenly chocolate. One of my current favorites is a pu-erh tea with orange and chocolate.
I’m not a purist about it, obviously, but the flavored teas are just for a nice change. Mostly it’s a nice strong Irish Breakfast, or Kenya Black when I can afford it.
Green tea also makes a nice change. I think if it seems to you to have no taste, it’s not being made right.
Ice tea, hot tea, beer or water. Coffee if I go out to breakfast.
The only type of tea I don’t like, is Earl Grey.
Once in a while a mixed drink or wine. Perhaps 2 pops a year.
I like many herbal teas (or what my husband calls “tisanes” being all pedantic, but really only jasmine green tea in terms of “regular” tea. I’m not sure it counts, because of the jasmine.
Hot tea, black. No milk, and sugar only if the tea is particularly bitter or strong. Lemon only with Russian Caravan. Not for every occasion, but I like black teas with flowers in them; black tea with rose petals goes particularly well with a chocolate dessert.
I have a number of different blends at hand and a truly frightening number of now-empty decorative tins mostly purchased on my trips to the UK ranging across the top of the kitchen cabinets and filling the lower part of the nice cherrywood tea trolley my mom sent me for my birthday a few years ago. I collect tea-toys too, strainers and sugar tongs and so on.
I don’t like Earl Grey or Lapsang. I don’t much care for herbal teas, red tea, white tea, but will drink them if offered and can’t get anything else. Mild green teas or jasmine tea only with Chinese food.
Oooo… I want to hear more about this. What is your preferred black tea brand? Mine is Barry’s Gold.
I like tea.
Green tea, black tea,
Hot tea, iced tea,
I like tea.
I like my coffee too, at breakfast time
If my tea is iced I add lemon not lime
I like Yorkshire Gold but not Earl Grey
I don’t drink much coffee, but I’ll tea all day.
I like tea.
