Who here drinks tea and if so what kind?

I like Lipton tea unsweet

McDonald's, unsweetened.

Not much of a tea drinker. But when I do, it's usually unsweetened, iced.

I drink coffee in the a.m., and the rest of the day I drink water.

I drink a lot of iced tea sweetened with Stevia. I have switched to decaffeinated because I was told by my Urologist that caffeine is irritating to your bladder. Sometimes I get iced green tea from Starbucks. I drink tea more than anything else. I am not a coffee drinker, but sometimes I make a cup and put hot chocolate mix and half n half in it, with whipped cream on top. I also like Starbucks Sweet Vanilla Cream Cold Brew.

I'm a red-blooded southern boy and sweet tea has aptly been declared to be "the house wine of the south". I know for a fact that I drank both sweet tea and coca cola from my bottle as a baby. (OH! the horror!) My preference these days is Lipton brewed strong and dark with plenty of sugar in it. I have also rarely been known to turn down a cup of coffee anytime it might be offered.

Various herbal teas, with no added sweeteners usually. Also Kombucha, which has green tea and black tea of unknown origin.

I'm pretty sure all the tea in our house is petrified due to extreme age. We drink coffee, apple cider (the spiced kind) and that's about it for brewed drinks. Unless you include beer. My husband will sometimes buy beer.

I sometimes buy flavored or herbal teas with good intentions of using them. Then they sit and gather dust on the shelf, and I throw them away.
My family and I were into Teavana for a while, but that was a phase I guess. I've pretty much learned not to buy things I know I won't use.

Here's a question for y'all. How long would you let loose tea or tea bags sit on the shelf, expired, before throwing them away?

uh - sadly - decades, going by experience. I will now go and throw out my stash of teabags. Thank you.

Awww....you're welcome!!

I have a bag of Mu tea in my cupboard. It needs to be thrown away. Can you imagine the dust collected in those dried leaves?
