Do you enjoy drinking unsweetened hot black tea?

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

 

[Sir_Loin_of_Beef]

No. I drink either green or oolong, straight. No sweetener and no whitener, and I use loose tea. If I use a tea bag, I can taste the paper.

I like green tea straight, but with black tea I use honey and cinnamon. I generally just drink green tea of late, followed by a cup of strong coffee with cream and sugar.

 

[thymeless]

Only some herbals for me.

I used to drink tea on occasion. Went thru various stages of types that I liked. English Breakfast, Oolong, Black Tea. But then realized why I was getting tummy aches from the tannins, Iguess. Green tea was the worst (for me). So I don't drink tea anymore!
Never cared for herbal teas either. Would rather just drink hot water.

But I do like my coffee,.

I didn't even think about tea tannins. I usually associate tannins with wine. I googled it and usually it's 3+ cups that have an effect, but there are hypersensitive individuals like yourself, apparently. I'll stick with my 1 cup to be on the safe side.

green, black, or herbal, I like them all plain.

I like milk in black tea, but I like it black if it is cold. Yes, I'm weird. If there is cold tea left, I will often pour myself a cup. If it's green tea, I drink it neat. If it's herbal tea, I usually drink it plain. It has been a long time since I have put honey in herbal tea. Hmm, I used to like a bit of honey in my coffee if I didn't have any milk or cream.

I think not weird.

I can't drink red wine either, at least not aged. Nor any commercial wines - too many sulfites. My own wines have minimum.

I never seem to have a problem with Iced Tea. Weird, eh? That I used to drink copious amounts during the summers. Especially Lipton's. Sooo much sugar. But in the States it is generally served without sugar (or at least they ask) and I loved that!
I do think now that if I were to start drinking it again I would probably sweeten it.

the above is copied from their description of the teapot.. not sure it makes sense. Am I wrong?

That being said - it is a gorgeous teapot available in 3 sizes and a 4th in what they call a pagoda style. I'd also get the trivet as that pot will be hot. Great for keeping the tea warm.
If I drank tea.... and had the space....

I've always been a tea drinker, but I'm not fond of unsweetened black. Oolong is my favorite to drink hot, but with a little sweet, often a mild honey. Darjeeling is a black tea I could drink hot, since it isn't as bitter, but I still sweeten it a little.

do you drink tea in the summer?

 

[Badjak]

do you drink tea in the summer?

Yes
Yearround every day.
Standard hot tea and might make ice tea as well

 

[pepperhead212]

I drink iced tea year round! Cheap tea bags, but mixed with some Thai tea, or flavored with fresh spearmint, when that's growing, or some of that chai masala powder I make. All this is sweetened, but only a little, and I figure it's better (and cheaper) than drinking soda! I make up almost a gallon pitcher of tea every day.

And something I almost forgot - a cheap teabag I get at DG, simply "tagless teabag", is actually a cheap oolong tea, not the usual black tea in tea bags. The first time I used that, many years ago, I realized this, by the flavor and color. I broke one of the bags open, and could tell by looking at it, that it was oolong. I often got cheap boxes of oolong at the Asian markets, and some were not even as good as this, and often, of course, the brand would be gone in a couple of years!

"Do you enjoy drinking unsweetened hot black tea?"

In a word, no. I love plain unsweetened iced tea, but just can't drink hot tea in any form. I do not like it Sam-I-Am.

Yes.

No, you're correct. If it has a stainless steel lining, I don't see how "iron ions" make contact with the liquid. Same with chloride ions. It doesn't make sense to me.
