I drink most tea without anything. A good tea, like men, should stand by it's own merits.
I hate coffee and only drink tea. I dont have milk in my room bc I dont have a fridge, stupid rules, or honey, or sugar, so I have grown accustomed to drinking tea straight. I like it and it is probably the best way to "get the flavor" as you say.
I just eat the leaves.
that's the truth, for any non-texans out there (holds true in Alabama as well)
