I drink tea almost all the time.
However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.
1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…
2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.
I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.

“Essentially drinkable, but that’s it” – I’ve had those. Just finished a cup of one of those. You drink it and all you can think is “This is not the worst beverage ever.” That’s all it has going for it. It’s wet and it isn’t the worst thing ever, lol.
