Tea and Sugar?

I usually put less than a spoon (and I mean the little spoons) because most of the time tea already has its own specific flavor that I don't want to overwhelm with sweetness 🙂
I used to take half a teaspoon of sugar in my tea, but I stopped about 8 - 10 months ago, now I don't like sugar in it anymore. I do take a very small amount of milk in tea, though it depends on the type of tea.

I put as much sugar to fill up about 1-1.5cm of the bottom of the cup. I'm not sure how many teaspoons that is.. but that's usually how much I put. Otherwise, I just drink it w/o sugar if there aren't any around.

I put "no sugar" but that's only because I usually drink Asian teas. With English tea, I don't mind it, but I haven't drank that in such a long time!

Depends on the tea. If it's Asian tea like Jasmine Pearls or Phoenix Mountain Oolong (you can tell I've been hanging around Peet's), no no on the sugar. But the tea has to be piping hot!
As for getting iced tea at places like Tapioca Express, I like it a little sweet... I think with honey? But the aloe jelly is a must!
For restaurants, I like normal, unsweetened tea... tropical flavor for the summer, and just plain hot jasmine green for the winter.
Oh! I forgot the main tea I drink during the colder season: chai tea latte... that requires sugar... can you drink chai without it? It's hard!

I like straight chai. It has such a nice flavour on it's own ^^
Black tea is one of my very favourite things in the world, and I drink too much of it...
I prefer being a snob and making my tea with tea leaves instead of bags, when I can find them. It just tastes better.
I like a little bit of sugar and a very small amount of milk - but some flavours I like love pure black (such as earl grey).
My tea must be very perfectly steeped, but not too hot - I have a cat's tongue.
Green tea and 'herbal' tea I always drink very hot and without anything added. Afterwards my tongue is always burnt x.x
Oh! And blueberry tea! Made with orange pekoe and *alcohol *instead of sugar 😉
No sugar. Tea tastes perfect the way it is and it must be hot. It kinda grosses me out if you add milk into your tea. Your tea goes all murky so it's not transparent anymore...=( I love black tea on it's own! I always have a cuppa if I'm having a late night....

I strongly dislike tea.
On the occasion someone prepares a cup for me, I'll have it plain unless I feel that the flavor could actually be improved by sweetening.
In that case I'll add half a teaspoon of honey or sugar.

I prefer no sugar in any hot drink.
Personally I don't like tea - too much milk maybe? I stay away from latte for that reason too - it's like a watered down coffee >_<

Between 0 and 1 sugar, or 1 spoon of honey. It depends on the tea. No milk.

There's not always milk in tea. Actually it's like sugar, you add it only if you like it.
