There is a tea purveyor in a town near me.
In the shop one can sample 2 teas ,complimentary at a time.
Literally hundreds of varieties, some teas being made from herbs other than
tea leaves.
Some naturally sweet. Roobis ( sp ) ( a African red tea comes from a shrub
I believe ) sweet undertone.
I tried a floral green tea ( made with roses and lemon ) which I loved .
I guess my point is there are teas with sweetness and other attractive
flavors one may try instead of sugar.
I personally never liked sweet beverages.
Now enjoying a varieties of different teas.
And I also love coffee !
