I chose Green. I've noticed that throughout my travels and coming into contact with differen't people that Green Teas are big in Harsh Mountainous regions. Ex...Green Tea is big in Japan, Caucassus Mountain Peoples, Hindu Kush-Afghanistan, Morroco. I would also say China but I don't know..maybe more members here would know the preferences of people in China. I noticed that also it was an honor in some countries to drink straight Green without Sugar compared with Black Leaves with sugar and milk. Just some observations.

Of the choices provided I voted English breakfast/Earl Grey, with cream and sugar. However I'm a big chai tea drinker as well.

Green tea is my favourite because to me its the best all-rounder, its great for yum cha. After green tea i suppose i would rate the korean & japanese tea's in equal 2nd because they are go well for meals like dinner, then jasmine as 3rd - because jasmine to me is more of a treat and it tastes the best when you dont drink too much, so "less is more" I dont drink soft drinks, i like the good old traditional teas feels healthier too

Oh, this was a tough one...I love all sorts of tea! I can barely go through the day without...(especially now that it's winter and minus 20 degrees Celsius over here...). Anyway, I think I have to go with English breakfast tea and Earl Grey (With LOTS of sugar!), although Chinese Green Tea comes a VERY close second!

My new favourite is the Vanilla Creme flavour from Second Cup. (sugar and cream please) Besides that I usually get Earl Grey (made the same as above).
For asian teas, I like Chinese crysanthemum tea and the Japanese brown rice tea that they make sometimes in the Japanese restaurants, although they usually make green tea there.

I like Japanese green tea with rice grains, but it gives me a headache every time I drink it, I think it dehydrates me. This happens to me too so I don't drink too much green tea or miso soup. It's supposed to be too leurng if you know the Chinese way that they interpret these kinds of foods.

^ haha I used to be addicted to that stuff! (especially w/ the rum & sugarcane- best in the world, although I can’t find anything remotely like it here) Have you tried Vanilla coffee or Coconut tea?
Edit: just remembered the rum was in the coffee not the tea!

Vanilla coffee no, didn't know mauritians likes coffee lol. How is it? I would have thought the coffee overpowers the vanilla.
Coconut tea is good but it makes the coconut makes the tea look pale.
Vanilla tea is a good combination. Everyone should try it.
Coffee and rum must be weird like waking you up and putting you to sleep at the same time.

Coffee and rum must be weird like waking you up and putting you to sleep at the same time. It tastes a lot like some kind of Starbucks creation. Think irish coffee... kinda! Not as simple as the tea. I got it from one of those Alouda (sp.. the drink) stalls in the market (if you're Mauritian ?I think you'll know which ones I mean)
