I am in India.
I am drinking tea.
I don't know about categories which you have mentioned.
There must be a lot of options in drinking tea also over there.
But I know that when we are drinking tea without milk it is called black tea.
And I am drinking tea with milk.

Before leaving UK I only drank tea with milk. Here in Italy I usually drink Italian espresso coffee but I have also 'discovered' many different types of tea that I was not aware of before.
I drink green tea and many different types of fruit tea, all with no milk or sugar so as not to spoil the aroma and the flavour. One of my favorites is a red berry tea both hot or cold.

zaihezhian, usually you put milk with black tea but not with green tea or any other fruit teas. others prefer to put lemon instead of milk.

Hello zaihezhinan!
I like drinking green tea because I know it is good to the health. I buy the ones which contain antioxidants so that it would help cleanse my body and my system. I like green tea as it is indeed good for the health. I also like chamomile tea and lemon grass tea for relaxation.

Tea is gross to me. I've lived in the south all of my life and the only tea people drink around here is sweet tea I hate sweet tea and have turned to coffee as my choice beverage. Because most people here only know tea as sugary liquid/molasses, it is difficult to learn about the types of 'real' teas that I know have benefits and can learn to be enjoyes as much as coffee. I have tried green tea which I detested, and I have tried some fruity sort of stuff which wasn't bad I'll admit, both of which were from starbucks. But tea just seems too watery for me, especially since I take my coffee black and strong.

I love tea :) My boyfriend is Japanese and he was the one who really got me into liking it. I drink hot green tea a lot, I also like black tea but I actually prefer it cold with a little sweetener and I have had some scented tea before as well

I do drink tea but its not in my favourite drink list :P. I usually drink plain water. I drink tea when I'm eating out in restaurants. If I'm in a chinese restaurant, then I'll drink chinese tea, but sometimes the 'chinese tea' they serve can be black tea or green tea or jasmine tea which i don't fancy. When i'm in a Japanese restaurant I'll drink green tea :)

I drink flavored green tea but my favorite is Barley Tea and I don't know which category that fits. I think it's very tasty and it feels cleansing - like I'm drinking something that my body agrees with :)
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I love hot tea, especially when it is cold outside. I try to drink green tea at least every other day because of its health benefits.
