It says 'Discussion of *hick!* any beverage.'
I hope this includes the prince of liquids, Tea?

Shorty has us hooked on Tetley, but it's hard to find here.
Another option for you guys is to come down here and visit me. There's a huge international food store called Jungle Jim's that carries the real thing... unfortunately we pay import price of about $4 for a 0.89p package of the tea...
But come down and visit sometime anyway!
I once brewed a side-by-side comparison of "British Blend" to the real thing. The purple box stuff was slightly lighter in color and just slightly weaker. It was a barely noticeable flavor difference once I put in the milk and sugar, though.
But come visit me sometime anyway, ya tossa!
You have to try Rooibos tea sometime. It can be an aquired taste to some but is unique to SA and if brewed correctly you can't beat the taste!
If you haven't tried it, Yerba Mate is a neat drink. With some honey, it's quite good. It does give you a bit of a buzz.

An ex-professional-tea-taster will blend up a unique tea for someone in your life based on what you say about their personality. A little cheesy (and expensive!), I know, but it's cute!
Oh dear me no. One simple doesn't boil Tea. It is an art form that demands time, care and patience. One needs to pour boiling water over the leaves then leave it to do its magic.
I had to wipe an eye when I read this. I never thought I'd ever read anything by an American that included the phrase 'I put in the milk and sugar' How my heart sang.
My dear boy, it should be your right to have access to fine Tea. PM me your address and I'll pop a few bags in the post. I'll mark the envelope 'HERBS', that should get it through ok.
Nothing beats tea slowly brewed in a porcelain tea pot with the 'ole crochet tea-cosy over it to keep it warm. I'm the first to agree. However Rooibos is a different animal and a bit on the wild side. It needs to be boiled into submission to be truely appreciated.
The Rooibos beast though? That must be some man Tea you have down there.
You obviously don't know someone who is very lactose intolerant. My wife, who is very lactose intolerant, would be blowing it out her ass 2 hours after drinking it with even a splash of milk without taking a Lactaid pill. And with some things such as butter and heavy cream even the Lactaid doesn't help and she gets horribly sick off of just a little bit. She has to watch it at restaurants and make sure the food isn't prepared with real butter.
You could use soy milk. Or, one of the myriad coffee creamers that are lactose-free, like Coffee-Mate. Coffee-Mate is actually quite good in coffee (the liquid kind, not the powder). I actually prefer it over milk, half-and-half, etc. But I've never tried it in this "tea" stuff you all are talking about.
You've tried???
