Though I've never been a fan of tea, I would love to have a tea set!
I'd use it with juice or lemonade and be all fancy about using tea cups and saucers! Then we'd dine in a gazebo and talk about art, weathers, books, movies, news, Snaw, and other pleasant topics as we sip our non-tea beverage and eat dainty tea cakes because I'm so fancy.

That sounds really lovely! I wish we could.
...But at least here in 'bloid land, we can imagine it!
Welcome to the gazebo~. *Sips lemonade.* I made chocolate crackle cookies.

Pardon, I may be gentle and lil and regal, but I'm not that gentle. *Taps my lack of gender marker and dons the tea gloves and a tailcoat dress-ish-tailcoat light suit.* Just stylish. x3
On the other hand, *holds a tea hat and places another one on your head.* You would look lovely in these, if you so chose.

Y'know, we have some fruity-flavored teas at my house, but I've never tried any of them before. My sister requested some fun flavors when I was grocery shopping once, but I hadn't bought them with the intent of drinking them myself.
Maybe it'd be interesting to try one of them, as I'm having a hard time imagining fruit flavor with tea specifically.

Yeah, fruit-flavored herbal teas are pretty common, though in my experience they usually don't taste all that much like, say, a dessert that claims to have the same fruit as its flavor basis.

Yayyyy, tea~ *Sips*
Fruit-based herbal teas (like dried fruits or fruit flowers) are pretty common, but they're not the same as fruit juices. They have a pretty distinct flavor, though. I'd try it just to see if you like it. ^^
Personally, I prefer teas more along the lines of chamomile, rooibos, lavender, maybe some lemon, and other things that aren't super fruity. (Not necessarily all at once.) I'm fine with fruit teas, just that's my preference.

I usually have pretty plain teas like earl grey or just straight black lol. Fanciest tea I usually have on hand is peppermint, which is still rather basic haha.

Peppermint is good too!
Alas, I only drink herbal teas because I don't like the taste of the other "true" teas. I gave them a try in tea smoothies, but I could always taste the bitterness. Tisanes for me. Still, if caffeine is the goal, tea-leaf teas are a good way to achieve it.

Hmm for me, if it's not fruity then I just think I am drinking warm water. That's not necessarily bad because water equals good, but...Same reason people drink Coca cola I guess
