<p>what is the difference between Chai, English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Pekoe, and every other kind of black tea (taste wise)?</p>
<p>I don’t drink tea</p>
<p>I drink tea regularly - but I only take Chai, so I can’t really tell you the difference between different black teas.</p>
<p>I drink green tea. And iced tea. And iced green tea. But not any of the ones you mentioned.</p>
<p>Funny you should mention it…I’ve recently made a ritual out of having single person tea parties in my room after school…teapot and cups and all. It’s like yoga, only tastier. My tea of choice is Jasmine, and I’m not a big enough drinker of the others to give a really deep response, but from personal experience…</p>
<p>Chai: Has a spice to it, stronger taste than black tea (spice in the Cinnamon sense, as opposed to Buffalo wing… :-)). Excellent with milk.</p>
<p>English Breakfast: I feel like its sweeter than regular black tea…but I haven’t had it in a while, so I’m not a hundred percent sure.</p>
<p>Earl Gray: It’s good? I’m not a big drinker of regular black tea, and would sooner drink Earl Gray, but I can’t really place what’s different about the taste, per say.</p>
<p>If you really want to get in depth, try googling the Teavana website (maker of over-priced, but delicious loose leaf teas.). I’m too lazy to do loose leaf on most days, but the site itself makes for good reading, when talking about subtleties in flavors.</p>
<p>Try Darjeeling. it’s a bit more bitter, but it’s enjoyable</p>
<p>No, but I probably should.</p>
<p>I’m a Starbucks girl, sorry. Though tea is so much healthier…</p>
<p>Earl grey has bergamot orange which gives it a unique flavor.</p>
<p>Oolong formossa is great with Chinese food.</p>
<p>UVA Highlands is also a delicious tea.</p>
<p>There are many types and varieties of tea. Buy loose tea it tastes much better.</p>
<p>I only drink iced tea. And I didn’t even drink that until I moved to the South.</p>
<p>All tea comes from the same plant. They different types are picked at different times and are cured differently. All the addatives and herbal teas are a whole other story. If you make fresh loose tea, you will never go back to teabags with bitter stale tea.</p>
<p>Darjeeling and Oolong sound so exotic haha</p>
<p>I wish I drank tea. Tea drinkers and wine drinkers are so cool when they’re like “the nuances of cinnamon and almond, etc.”, and I drink tea, and I’m like “It tastes like tea”</p>
<p>Of course, I is Chinese.</p>
<p>I can’t comment on the difference, but I had to respond to this thread because I LOVE tea! I mostly drink herbal tea though. Sometimes I have three mugs a day. When it’s hot out, I have two bottles of iced tea a day. It’s good stuff.</p>
<p>I drink a lot of tea - Earl Grey and/or English Breakfast every morning (it’s really for the caffeine factor…they taste the same to me). When I go out for lunch on weekends it’s always a Chinese lunch, so we get random teas then. And my mom’s big on chrysanthemum tea. It’s supposed to be cleansing or something. Whatevs.</p>
<p>On another note, I remember watching this spelling bee and this Indian guy didn’t know what Darjeeling was and couldn’t spell it. I cringed and laughed at the same time.</p>
<p>loser. He should have read this thread</p>
<p>I only drink green tea, oolong tea, jasmine tea, or chrysanthemum tea… woo Chinese XP</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be able to answer for Earl and Black tea though… I’m not that big of a fan >></p>
<p>I’d drink tea if it didn’t take 50 minutes to prepare the damn thing.</p>
<p>Anyways, i used to drink tea. But now I have Adderall XR so I don’t need it.</p>
