It is hard for me to decide which type of tea I like best. Both Chinese tea and Indian tea have their strong points.

I like Indian tea most of the time. Especially if its served with snacks and biscuits...

Being an Indian, I would always prefer Indian tea..

The difference between them is that, Chinese tea is bitter(with their additions), while Indian tea has a sweet tinge and lots of milk; but both of them are suitable in their respective regions considering the geography and culture of the regions...

My vote goes for the Indian type of tea with spices; the best "regular" tea I ever drank was in Yemen, where they call it 'red tea' and it comes with spices, no milk! I've also tried a combination of coffee and tea, can you believe that? I can hardly recommend it to anyone.. some of my friends in Ethiopia love this and they drink it with tons of sugar of course!

That's a tightly kept business secret as with other specialist Hyderabadi dishes.........it's actually found more in places in South Indian city of Hyderabad, and of course has its origins in Iran.

Have you tried African, like Kenya tea or Rooibus which is red tea. Delicious! Bancha tea from Japan has that important ingredient - calcium, just realized I have given you more choices, so will the decision be harder to make?
