What type of tea do you drink? I think this is a very important topic of discussion.

It's a traditional Japanese style made of a fine powder of ground green tea leaves, and usually made from special leaves.

I love matcha. I get aroused just looking at that photo of matcha!

It looks more like a bowl of pea soup. However, curiosity has gotten the better of me. Tomorrow I might source some, and if it turns out to be as horrendous as I suspect it’s going to be, you and I will be having words, Mr Bulgakov.It's a traditional Japanese style made of a fine powder of ground green tea leaves, and usually made from special leaves.

I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t drink a lovely cup of Assam, like my good self. Strong and malty, and the perfect cup to dunk biscuits in to whilst I pretend to work.

Why is what I drink not on the list? I like my tea with darjeeling or srilankan powder - usually second pass, boiled in milk (half a cup) and water (another half) with finely grated ginger and a teaspoon of sugar. I allow it to boil for a minimum of 5 minutes and allow it to say still for another couple of minutes with a closed lid to allow all the flavours to seep in perfectly.

I don't drink tea anymore, but I must say the pure Japanese matcha green tea was delicious. It goes well as an ice cream and other delicacies. You can use matcha powder as an ingredient for all sorts of food, such as cakes, cookies, smoothies, biscuits, etc.

BACON! Tea
Now in drinkable, no-mess tea form, it's BACON! This black tea is comprised of smoky, 'bacony' lapsang souchong, blended with a hint of apple and caramel flavored Ceylon teas, to recreate the taste of sugar-cured, apple-wood smoked bacon that you crave in the morning. Now with a new blend...

I went to a place that used the matcha powder to make like smoothies/milk teas and ice cream. It was interesting, but I didn't really care for it.

You all need your eyes tested. There is an option for green, white and iced teas.
I ordered some Matcha tea from TeaPigs today. I am prepared to be underwhelmed, as powdered tea ain’t tea in my book.

@MurraysMetalHip What's weird about not liking hot drinks? Personally, I'm not a big hot beverage person. Maybe if it's really cold out, I'll have a hot chocolate or hot tea, but it's pretty rare. I prefer my drinks to be chilled.

A lovely hot drink is super satisfying, and that includes hot chocolate and mulled wine at Christmas. I treat anyone who doesn’t like hot drinks of any description with a degree of suspicion. You say you like the occasional hit chocolate or tea, so that’s fine by me. You are not weird.

Poll is wrong as it doesn't allow multiple choices. No tea person drinks only one type of tea.

Please refrain from disrespecting the pole. This is the basis for important scientific research. Thank you.

Because some are magnificent (Assam) and some are vile (all of the others).

In the meantime why don't you relax and have a cup of Assam or Darjeeling?

I’ve already had numerous cups of delicious Assam today.
I am going to delay my matcha tea experiment until tomorrow. I can’t face it tonight, as my knee hurts.
