Earl Grey is my usual, but Mauritian Vanilla tea is ube, like, best thing ever. Try Lapsang Souchong if you want something....different....very smokey.

Green is gay, but lovely after a meal

Always been intrigued with that one...I'm mostly a coffee person, I need my shot of espresso every day or I get migraines!

I hope a relative comes by soon from Mauritius with some vanilla tea, craving it :(

Afghan green tea FTW, I can't stand coffee but sometime have to make do if no tea is about.

Then there is the one my mum makes with cardomom (sp) which is made on the stove with milk rather than hot water with milk. If you know what I am trying to get at.

I got back from Milan this morning, had a good few "caffè's" (Espresso) out there. Strongest one was outside the San Siro, bloody strong!

I tend to drink normal breakfast tea, PG or something.

I only really drink coffee if its proper coffee, rather than the instant stuff! =]

I'm Italian, its a given :haha:

If its not made with a Moca, its poop

Jabran, sounds like Arabic coffee? Boil the ground coffee (which is white as opposed to normal brown beans) in milk/water, then mix in ground cardomon, ends up a greeny beige colour, and drink it with dates?

Green tea? Gaaah...

Tried 2 versions of 'real' green tea in Japan. The 1st was in Takashimaya department store in Ginza, given to me in the food court by a enthusiastic Japanese man keen to gain my thoughts. How I didn't spit it out all over him was a miracle.

The second, was in Himeji Koko-en, where the wife and I thought we'd be traditional and go to a tea ceremony. Once more, I thought I was going to provide green pebble-dash to the tatami mat and the polite Japanese ladies kimono, but somehow kept it in.

I'm the son of a builder, and have been raised on a diet of Typhoo & PG Tips. Even coffee tastes minging to me. My wife drinks Rooibos, which is supposed to be good for you, and is apparently very hydrating, so you could try that. To me, it just smells of fish flavoured nettles, and tastes even worse.
