I'm seriously lazy. I boil a kettle, put tea bags in the pot, pour the water in, and let it steep. I drink too much to brew by the cup, because ... I'm lazy. I will brew a cup of a special tea once in a while, though.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Well, it's me and my neighbors who are cooking this stuff.

I'm seriously lazy. I boil a kettle, put tea bags in the pot, pour the water in, and let it steep. I drink too much to brew by the cup, because ... I'm lazy.
I microwave a mug of tap water and plop the bag in when it's heated.
But I also drink hippie fruit "tea" which doesn't actually have tea of any kind (black, green, white) and is more accurately categorized as an "herbal infusion" or some shit. But no one knows what an herbal infusion is, so I always just say "hippie fruit tea."
I don't even like the black teas that have a fruit flavor. Too bitter.
But we do keep a box of black tea in the pantry for when the dog gets hot spots. (That, and the dog likes a good cuppa.)

Too bitter.
I sweeten mine. No milk, though.

I had a question for milky tea drinkers. I'm told that you should properly pour the milk into your cup first, anyone know why?

There was actually a study just done, where they said that for some reason steeping the tea bag with the milk in the water resulted in better-tasting tea. So now I put the milk in right after I put the water in (if I'm drinking tea with a bag).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a tisane, isn't it?

Ooh, thanks, 'Suela, I hadn't heard about that. Interesting.

I brew teas and coffees as if I want to etch something with them. Apparently, I embrace the bitter. Shocker!

In Quebec for sure. I don't think I've ever (until now) heard the word used in the States.
