Is it bad for your enamel if you drink ice tea?
As long as you drink unsweetened tea there should be no problem (less risk of cavities). But the tea itself is fine, won't harm your teeth. Unsweetened is healthier and tastes better (at least to me) anyway. =) In fact, I'm drinking some right now... *raises glass* Cheers!
How do you drink your tea?
I grew up and still reside in the Southern US. Until recently, I never invested much thought in tea, usually drinking it sweet and black the way it was prepared by family. Now that I've become more tea-aware, I've moved away from the habit of making exclusively black tea from fannings with mountains of sugar. I really haven't settled on a tea variety as I haven't done much exploring, but I prefer hot whole leaf tea with a very small to no amount of sugar. The most interesting tea I've had was Adagio Tea's Snowbud blend ( http://www.adagio.com/white/snowbud.html... ) If that sounds worth a try then you should know that they ship to teh Deutschland.

Do you drink your tea with your pinky up in the air?
Yes. I'm so freakin' classy I even drink bourbon with my pinky in the air. But if it's my little finger you're referring to then er, yes...that too.
How do you drink your tea? Not only how you take it, but when drinking tea, is there a spirit of the heart, quietness, and tranquility?
This is such a beautiful question.Some may disagree, but for me personally, tea is a way of life - it embodies the happiness and beauty of life and the fulfilment of dreams through inspiration. When I take a hot cup of tea into my hands, I know everything is possible and everything will be well.I love to drink absolutely any tea, but I find whole leaf tea, carefully crafted by artisan tea gardens especially inspirational, just because I know the effort, art and science that go into the careful harvesting and craftsmanship of every leaf. I love to think about the effort that has gone into the creation and transport of my tea, especially for me, from lands far away, the landscapes from where it originates and it all makes me feel very special and like the world is my oyster. The concentration and relaxation boosting combination of caffeine and L-theanine enhance this feeling.I love to drink my tea from a gaiwan, without sugar, carefully brewed, the temperature and time selected depending on the tea type and my personal preference.However, from time to time, I love to experiment with tea recipes to bring out the natural flavour of the leaves, brewing it with fresh and dried fruit and nuts, making it into healthy frappes, iced teas, healthy lattes and even cocktails, especially for my friends who aren't super into natural unflavoured tea. I have recently started reporting my creations via YouTube as I experiment.Here is an example of the most recent tea-creation I have managed to come up with recently - it’s super delicious, vegan and I the chocolate and orange notes bring out the citrus and malty notes in my keemun very beautifully, yet I can still taste the keemun, it isn’t overpowered. I wonder if anyone else does this?Healthy but always indulgent snacks, carefully selected to pair with each tea type are also sometimes present.My friends, family and loved ones are important when I'm drinking my tea.This is how I personally love to drink my tea! I would love to meet more like-minded tea drinkers.Yulia.
What is the best way to drink black tea? With or without sugar? With water or with milk?
It depends upon your personal liking.I like good tea and have several varieties ( top quality, mostly Indian from Darjeeling gardens , and a few Japanese and Chinese). I generally drink about 4 cups over the day In the afternoon I prefer a good cup of coffee ( nestles mainly).For BLACK TEA: I prefer my first cup in the morning to be brewed properly for about 5 min and then add little milk and sugar ( or little honey). Other time I like very light liquor ( and depending my mood, I drink like that, or add a slice of lemon, with or without very little sugar/or honey or sometime I put a stick of cinnamon). I take long time to drink, slowly sip and enjoy, while doing some light work or do some thinking.For other varieties, I prefer mainly light liquor with nothing in it ( like jesmine tea, Earl Gray, etc.)My wife just likes her tea with little milk; my daughter likes with little milk and sugar; her son like to have milk and lots of sugar ( main interest is the sugar, so he get only one time a day).So, see it varies with individual liking. My suggestion: try and develop the best way you like.
How do I drink tea without burning my tongue?
We Japanese are known for slurping noodles, soup, etc., and we do when drinking tea as well. It is simply “sipping” when it comes to drinking tea. Surprising to us, however, apparently it is something you must grow up doing it (or seeing it) in order to be natural at it, perhaps like salsa for Latin Americans, and I hear of some Westerners who want to attain the cultural manner but have trouble getting the hang of it. (It is nice that those people don’t have trouble WITH that part of our culture.)How it’s done is: When you sip in the tea (or any hot liquid you are consuming), you take in the air together with it. It is in fact like you breathe suck in rather hard to pull in a little stream of tea together, letting the air go through straight to your lung but leading the tea to stay in the deeply-concave depression of your tongue, to make a puddle, and finally swallow. The wind that helps the tea into your mouth cools down the tea, you see.I hope this helps you to enjoy your cup of afternoon tea without burning your tongue!Additionally, slurping noodles is done the same way - breathe the air in and make a mouthful of noodles huddle and stay in your mouth before chewing and swallowing. You might have seen some Japanese people facing right down to their bowls of hot soupy noodles. This may appear unsophisticated to the Westerners, but it would be nice if you took it kindly as simply the way it is done. Slurping hot noodles requires a greater space than a sip of tea so that the oral cavity whole must be it, and the pharynx must be set in a higher position (instead of at the same level as the noodles gushing into the mouth) in order to prevent the noodles from running straight into the throat.
Do you leave your tea bag in your green tea whilst drinking?
I rarely use teabags, but as a rule you should not leave your tea leaves (bag or loose) in with the tea* after you brew it. The best tea is brewed with precise temperature for a precise amount of time. The flavor and aroma will be superior and you’ll get more re-steeps.*unless you reduce the amount to just a pinch of leaves. I’ve heard this method called “grandpa style” by some tea nerds. It’s a traditional way of drinking tea in China. The lower number of leaves prevents it from getting way too bitter, but it also doesn’t taste very strong, either.
