Because awesome_emmy sent me the link to the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. It's like fanmixes ... but with TEA. Mostly of specific characters (Sherlock characters are pretty popular at the moment, as you can see here) but some for things like books too. It's utterly fantastic. Also you can design your own blend! 

WHY DON'T I LIKE TEA?!??!!??!?! *cries* This is the bestest thing ever and I DON'T LIKE TEA!

Awe, I'm sorry you can't enjoy them. At least it's fun knowing they exist, right?

I actually only started liking tea recently and even then I'm pretty picky and need to add a ton of sugar to it to really enjoy it. I'm starting to like it more and more though. I'm really tempted to try a bunch of their individual teas and try to make a blend of my own. Or even just buy some of their blends to try.

I'm happy to know about this site, it's awesome. I shared it on my school's Doctor Who Club facebook, and now everyone loves me and a girl and I have bonded over our disinterest in tea and coffee and we're going to go get hot chocolate someday.

My roommate made me tea when I was sick. I didn't like it that much, but I drank it and then went to sleep for like thirteen hours. That's my most recent experience with tea.

OH WOW! BEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF THINGS. Thank you for this!

I -do- like tea, come to think of it! And since my friendly neighborhood natural foods co-op has bulk loose leaf teas for sale, I can actually try a couple of these before I buy 'em online!

*starts brainstorming a Purdy Hat blend*

That's so awesome. I wondered where all those Sherlock blends were coming from.

Also, what teas have you tried? I'm not gonna nag or anything, but I pretty much only like jasmine tea and nothing else. Maybe you are the same with some other type of tea?

I know right? So cool!

No, no, nag away! I really want to be into tea, but I'm just not. I've tried green tea, um ... chamomile, I think ... and then there's this tea my roommate made for me when I was sick ...
I should just have a day where I try all kinds of tea and see if there's any I'm into, there's lots of types after all ...
Then again I've tried all kinds of coffee and hated all of them. I don't hate tea, I'm just not into it thus far.
Now, hot chocolate, that's a different story ... *beams*

May I recommend rooibos? It's very mellow and warm and tastes sort of like vanilla and honey. Many varieties come blended with vanilla beans too for a stronger vanilla flavor. It's an herbal tea so it doesn't have the tannic or grassy properties of black or green tea, if you don't like those.

Mmmmmm ... well, I do love vanilla ... I'll try some later this week if I get the chance.

Wow, my shopping list is going to look strange:
1) clown makeup
2) skirts from Goodwill
3) rooibos tea
4) hair dryer

Don't feel bad; I'm not much of a tea drinker either. I have been thinking about trying more lately. Because I don't hate tea. I hate coffee, but not tea so I'm willing to go out on a limb when people say there is some nice tea to drink.
