Tea? Sweets?

Recommended Posts

So I'm presuming that a lot of you guys are from the middle east or have some kind of middle eastern background which means you drink a shit load of tea. So the question is what kind of tea to do you drink? and what kind of sweats do you like to have with it?

As for me, I'm liking the spicy chi tea with either milk chocolate or baklava.

By the way, if your a coffee drinker it's cool to post your favorite coffee.

Sometimes I bring sweats when I go to the gym.



Damnit you beat me to it.


Baklava when I make it. Also a german snack that translates to "Nut Edges." (hazelnuts, with jam that is baked into bars then dip the edges in choc.)

I like Green Tea mostly. Some of the Arabic tea I have had is amazing as well, but the caffine is a hell of a kick. When I want tea I normally dont want to stay awake much longer.

I like to drink tea in place of coffee so usually I don't mind the extra kick. I usually drink it in the morning and when I have company over so I usually want to stay up a little longer. Plus, it usually livens up the guests a little. It's also a persian tradition.

Chai tea, blueberry white tea, green tea with honey...and some Chinese tea, which ironically I had in Italy and Spain multiple times but haven't been able to find back home in The States.

Turkish Tea (don't remember what it's called) from a local turkish restaurant gives one hellapowerful caffiene ass-kicking. It's served hellishly hot too.

I like a lot of Green Tea and Twinning's Earl Gray is probably my favorite black tea.

I'll agree with JD that alcohol is much preferred over caffiene when available...

Baklava when i can get it.

Drinking - either Tea or fruit juice for times when i'm sober.
Alcohol is the normal preference though.
