It honestly wouldn't surprise me if younger tea drinkers are that pathetic. Hipsters can't fcuk off quick enough.

Oh man, I hate those fruit teas. They're disgusting.
I will drink peppermint tea, and I'm quite partial to green tea and peppermint, but mostly it's English Breakfast for me.

Peppermint tea is the second vilest drink known to mankind.

I don't drink tea that often but I do prefer proper (English Breakfast I guess) tea.
Fruit teas can be alright but they need to have a strong flavour otherwise I just think it's like you're drinking the washing up water.

This. It's not tea. There is no tea in it (the ones I've seen/had at least). It's a fruit infusion.

If I want a fancy tea I don't mind white tea. Otherwise it's everyday or breakfast blend at work (leaves in an infuser) and whatever tea bags I currently have at home.

Tea shows no sign of going out of fashion in my house.

My family is hardly representative of society as a whole, but my kids can sense a boiling kettle at a hundred yards.

Herbal tea really has no flavour at all. You can smell the aroma ,but the the flavour is just boiled leaves. Not very nice at all.

I usually get brought about 10 cups of tea in a day. I'm mostly a de-caff tea drinker these days (I actually find some caffeinated tea makes me buzz uncomfortably - but that depends on the make).

I drink about ten cups of tea a year. I prefer hot chocolate if i must have a hot drink. Otherwise I generally don't do hot drinks. Up until the start of the year, Red Bull was my daily source of caffeine. Now I drink it if I have a long drive ahead of me and it's an early start.
