I'm 25 myself. Still young enough for it to be considered strange among my peers and eccentric among those older than myself. Don't give it up!

-------------------- thus then i turn me from my countries light, to dwell in the solemn shades of an endless night.
I'm not from the south, but my parents loved suntea/iced tea, and made it all summer every year. I never did learn to like it. They used Lipton and sweetened the entire container.
I tried teas on and off over the years - I did like lemon and orange teas.
But I didn't really get interested in it, until about a year ago, I saw a display of Republic of Tea White Tea at my local grocery store (For anyone in the northeast US, it was a Wegmans - WONDERFUL grocery store). I bought some, cringing at the price. But I really liked it. I also liked several of their other teas - Orange Spice green tea, and a Rooiboos are two standouts.
Then I moved to Minnesota, and somewhere along the way, my favorite green tea disappeared, and I didn't have a local source of Republic of tea. So I went to their website to order some, and went a little crazy, ordering a teapot, and a bunch of their sample packs of loose teas. So I'm a newbie in the tea world. So far, I like the Ti Kuan Yin Oolong the best.
I do like coffee, but since I avoid caffeine (or at least the higher caffeine drinks), I tend towards decaf, which isn't as good. And most of the time, I can't get the kind of coffee I like (a smoother, less bitter brew) - it seems as if the starbuck's overly bitter style has taken over.
