Does anyone else think tea (the drink) is disgusting?

skreepers · 15/01/09 - 20:27

I hate it! I can't understand the obsessiveness (not a word?) with this drink! Everyone seems to say..sure we'll have a brew...i'll just stick on the kettle...would you like a cup of tea??

I can't stand it. The taste simply isn't nice. Am I alone with this thought?

I love tea. Only if well brewed and no cheapo tea. Tea made with no care is vile.

I will sit on the fence with this one

hedsashed · 15/01/09 - 20:31

Cheap tea is disgusting, but the good stuff is lovely. With little or no milk. No sugar. Maybe a slice of lemon. Mmmm.

I love tea and drink vast amounts. But I'm very fussy about how I drink it. It has to be weak and black.

Jasmine tea is very refreshing.

I love strong tea with a splash or two of milk and one to two sugars. I used to hate it until I was about 12 though, it's a taste you get used to.

No, you're not alone - I don't like the smell or the taste of it.

SecretLifeoBees · 15/01/09 - 20:35

I love tea. Yorkshire tea and Earl Grey are my favourites. Hate cheap tea. Love herbals teas too.

[Deleted User] · 15/01/09 - 20:36

I hate tea, I just don't see what people like about it. It's how I imagine my dirty washing up water would taste if I boiled it all up and added some milk.

edit - I like herbal teas, it's just the normal tea I don't like

[Deleted User] · 15/01/09 - 20:37

I can only drink cup a soups. Tea for me is horrible and I cannot understand how people can like it.

yeah it doesn't smell nice either...and leaves a horrible aftertaste in your mouth. Not nice. I'll stick to orange juice.

I love tea, has to be strong with very little milk and two sugars.

I can drink many cups a day, but only a few cups of coffee because too much makes me feel sick.

I'm just glad I uncovered your dastardly secret. There will be no living it down now, you know.

glyn9799 · 15/01/09 - 20:50

My daughters love cups of tea and never touch coffee. From being little they have preferred tea to pop as well.

My youngests still says "Daaaaaaaaaaaad make me a brew please"

Ugh, Cup a Soup, no! There's something horribly sinister about soup that started as powder.

Haha! Mine ends up a sort of 'Jodie Marsh's tan' colour - not quite orange but not quite biscuit colour either!

(That was possible the most horriffic Google I've ever done.)

Favourite teas are Yorkshire, Tetleys (when I'm at university and I am forced to go into cheap, plebbish ways) and Lancashire (partly because home's there!).

Hey there!
