Favorite "Petrol" Teal

Post by SneakyPie » 19 Jun 2012, 09:48

It's no secret that us yanks in the States have, by far, the most exquisite taste when it comes to tea related products. Fortunately for us, we also have access to some of the best teas that outsiders mock seemingly because they're jealous of not having the privelege of partaking in the ambrosia that is AriZona Tea.

And that's fine. I get it. I'll just sit back and sip at my gallon of high-fructose corn syrup enhanced tea and gleefully bask in the envy. Sweet, sweet envy.

Now, some of the more observant of you may be wondering why the thread title contains the word "petrol" in it. This is a nickname given by Escapecraft's very own Ninjawoman and a remark she jealously made at upon seeing me partake of my beverage directly from the bottle.
"Oy whu his thaught? Is lose lie yor dree-un petraul." - Ninjawoman
For the more civilized, petrol is another word for gasoline and apparently the gas cans over in the UK look like gallon containers for tea. I've put together a comparison.

Naturally the very sight of myself enjoying my beverage put Ninjawoman into a fit of a jealous rage and lashed out against the American way of life which suggests she is a Communist.

Anyways, back to what the thread title suggested, how many of my American brethren have enjoyed some good 'ol American sweet tea, produced by the AriZona company? What are your favorites? And how lame are the British and their wimpy tea?

America.

Guilty as charged, although their AP, like most premixes, uses a bit too much lemonade for my taste. Typically, I will partake of the Ginseng/honey/green tea premix when given a choice.

SneakyPie, I say this with the greatest respect for your person, your character, and your public prestige on the great server we collectively - collectively mind you - strive to improve every day. Far be it from me to make inflammatory and denigrating comments in regards to your person, but I feel impelled, nay, guided by manifest destiny, to lay my following accusation at your feet, and to await your suppliance and entreaties of forgiveness.

A tie between the Arnold Palmer and their Sweet Tea (which I've just been getting into lately). I also really like the lemon iced tea.

The best thing I can add to this thread is the statement that us Canadian's version of tea, which is maple syrup, is very good.

Being Canadian myself, I don't agree that Maple Syrup is the Canadian 'Tea'
Its Syrup, you have it on pancakes and other tasty things... very tasty things... perhaps even add maple to tea instead of sugar... but its really not Canadian tea.

Yes, but according to the stereotypical person all Canadians eat bacon and drink syrup for every meal, and also live in igloos and ride around everywhere on a moose.

The only tea I like is that raspberry iced tea Arizona makes. Can't stand green tea, regular iced tea, or any other type of tea I've tried. :/

I shall be bringing the true glory of the british tea back to the land of my birth on behalf of Louis Mountbatten.
