1. Are you a tea drinker?

Hell Yes.

2. Which do you prefer: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Black Tea, or Green Tea?

Probably the tea I've had that I've loved the most was the Shan Shui Teas Baozhong that we bought from Brian at a Tea Tasting he had in DC something like 6 years ago.

A good oolong is my favorite category.

3. What is your favorite herbal tea?

Hm. Maybe Tea Tray's 'Sevan'. Not sure. I'm not as much as Tisane drinker as a Tea drinker.

4. Do you take ice in your cold tea?

Not usually. I grew up with very sensative teeth and don't like having ice in most beverages.

5. Have you ever had Sweet Tea?

Sweet Ice Tea? Yes. It's the only way I really like it.

Current fave is Raspberry Earl Grey, made by Tealuxe. www.tealuxe.com, 2 locations, Boston and Harvard Square. But I have a different tea each day. Whatever I'm into, but must have caffeine. Loose Tea rules!

Did you know that the current issue of Consumer Reports discusses Green Teas?

a favorite... hmmmm....

My current favorite is Upton Tea's Moroccan Mint, cold. Closest I can find to our festival food merchant that makes Spearmint-Green Tea from scratch. (Fresh spearmint leaves and green tea. She says its really funny to watch the still wandering desert folk make room for green tea in their packs).
Hi ya JB ;) okay for me to babble back at ya? - krissy

I think they mean "Sweet Tea" as in "stuff they serve in the south." It's kind of like as sweet as Thai iced tea. Pretty disgusting, IMO. If you've had Sweet Tea, you know it.
