Rooibos (red tea)

[shootingstar]

Am a tea drinker at home, but a coffee drinker outside of home. More of a cost-saving thing. My habit is addictive. I will have 3 cups of tea PLUS 2-3 cups of coffee at work. For latter, partially because it's been free.

Despite several boxes of different teas in cupboard, seem to lean on my fav, original Twinings Earl Grey. No fake Earl Greys for me...there is a difference in taste! I do take tea with a touch of milk. Never any sugar (though I have sugar in dessert, etc.) in tea nor coffee. Can't explain that one, but suddenly around when I was 22, one day I stopped putting sugar in my teas and coffees.

When I do occasionally have other types, the teas tend to be chai type, ginseng or ginger --teas that are aromatic with spices and abit of kick. Fruit teas turn me off most of the time. I have occasionally made a ginseng chicken soup....one uses a ginseng tea bag.

Don't seem to drink much Chinese tea at home even though I have a healthy supply plus the Japanese tea with roasted rice grains.
