Are you talking about ice tea? Black tea? Green tea? What DO you like?

If you hate tea, why make a thread about tea?

If you hate tea, then perhaps you can drink other things beside tea.

Try South American yerba mate. Or Colombian style fruit juice.

Maybe you could list the names or types of tea you have not liked. There are so many varieties there may be some you like but I'd hate to waste time recommending teas you already know you hate.

If you are anywhere near a tea shop you should know that tea people are generally helpful. The local tea sellers I go to have big vats that you can take the lids off of and sniff and if you like something they will brew you a cup for free. If there are not any tea shops even going to a coffee chain (I would recommend Peets) and asking for help with their tea selection will get you going.

Have you tried adding milk? :rolleyes:

Maybe you also could write down what you don't like about the types of tea you have tried - it will make it easier to find a tea you might like.

I've been enjoying iced tea almost as long as hot tea - my whole family is from the south. But even I will say that it is probably the worst way to consume it, if you are looking for taste. Invariably iced tea can be the most surprisingly disgusting flavor served in a glass if its not made right or the tea itself is not suited for icing.

So give us a starting point. What brand is the iced tea? Is it flavored or not? How is it made - this can make a big difference in even the worst blends available and the best? Also, what do you like to drink?

From the post I am guessing perhaps you are looking for a compromise that both you and the family can enjoy?

Have you tried Genma Tea, it's a Japanese style teablend i think, green tea and golden fried rice blend, got a distinct flavour.

This is kinda useful..

Say you want English Tea in Japan, how would you ask for milk and two sugars?

I don't know if this is the proper way, but I feel like throwing it out there anyway because I'm bored.
Perhaps something like:

ミルクと砂糖を2杯入れてください
ミルクと砂糖を二つ付けてください

But like I said, I don't know if any of this is correct, since I've never said it before.

Or just buy milk tea from a vending machine. Hot or cold, your choice.
