Originally posted by MissShellAll types, as long as it's real tea (so no "herbal tea", though I sometimes drink mate), and if flavoured, with real flavourings (so jasmine tea is fine, but "strawberry" tea is... well, pass a bucket).
what type of tea?
Favourites? Assam, Irish breakfast, good kinds of Kenian, Keemun, Yunnan, sencha, gunpowder, lung ching, jasmine, lapsang souchong, good Earl Grey (bad Earl Grey is both horrible and all too common), on occasion Darjeeling, white, oolong, rose congou, or masala chai (but without sugar).
Apart from that, beer (Belgian or British/Irish by preference, though I won't scoff at a good Czech lager), whisky (I'll try most single malts, though Islay has my preference), or just water.
