Tea...

[anna]

So as most are aware I am a PG Tips monkey fan, (insert witty retort here)... sadly it means that I have to extort friends to ship them over here as I cant buy them here.

Tetley just isnt the same and the other brands are just yuck... Lipton I´m talking about you!

For Earl Grey though I have found a brand called Ahamad Tea that brews a lovely cuppa.

I dont really like herbal tea´s very much they smell nice until you try them, then they just seem to taste of water.

So what tea brands do you prefer??

[DarrenSV650S]

The kind that comes on a plate. That's the only tea for me :D

[Sally]

What Darren said, you made me feel hungry :(

[pookie]

jasmine or a 50/ 50 earl grey / english breakfast.

You get the best of both worlds ....fragrant tea ;)

oh and I love chrysamthmum too

[Mr Speirs]

100% Yorkshire Tea.
The tea of champions, I like my tea strong and Yorkshire tea is the only one I've found that I don't have to use 2 tea bags.

[Stingo]

Yorkshire tea chief, Yorkshire tea.

[Milky Bar Kid]

I'm not overly fussed to be honest - I am funny with tea, needs to be strong but with 3 sugars and loads of milk. GG makes the best tea in the world.

[The Idle Biker]

;)Yorkshire Tea, the only thing I've found I like about Yorkshire

[Kenzie]

Yorkshire tea and Twinning's Assam tea.

[Specialone]

Tetley, 2 sweeteners, medium strength, milk in first, can't stand it too strong, I drink a lot of tea what customers make me mainly, it's appreciated however it comes :)

[Amplimator]

Douwe Egberts or at worst, Nescafe. :rolleyes:

[maviczap]

Aldi Gold label tea, excellent strength and flavour

Yorshire is ok, better than PG

[garynortheast]

Twinings Assam, English Breakfast or Earl Grey, dash of milk, no sugar for me please! And proper loose tea while we're at it, made in a pot.

[timwilky]

Now this does pain me, the yorkshire stuff

[Holdup]

What ever the shop has

Generaly at work we have the cheap morrisons tea, trouble is im doing something wrong as everyone at work likes my tea / coffee so i always have to make it :(

aye, one bag does 4 cups :smt080

[Lozzo]

PG Tips all the way. They have bags that let the leaves unfurl properly in.

[daveangel]

Whatever the shop has as Holdup says, I do drink peppermint or camomile too at work saves poncing about with milk, you have to leave the bag in for 5 minutes or it's just hot water otherwise.

For conventional tea . . fairly milky, no sugar, I'm sweet enough;)

[Ed]

Yaaaarkshire

[andrewsmith]

if it tea it got to be pitmans brew

any brand 1 bag (minimum!) left for at least 5 minutes with a dash of milk (i mean dash)



Failing that Carte Noir and Kenco

[wyrdness]

All this talk of tea reminds me of Professor Elemental's rap, Cup of Brown Joy

If you're tired of tea then you're tired of life
Hah! I'm madder than a hatter and it fires my mic
Liken me to Earl Grey, Assam or ginger
Lapsing Souchong, raise my pinkie finger
Keep your sodding coffee in a proper copper coffee pot
and spot me lobbing teapots at your poncy rotten coffee shop
coffee clots nodding off lost the plot sodding off
need some caffeine, tannin and a battenburg to top it off

I'd sell me own grandma for a cup, well, I'd sell your grandma....

So really what you're trying to say is that you don't actually like the taste of tea at all! :smt016


Love Yorkshire tea but more often than not we end up drinking Tetley's as that's what's usually on offer. Don't really get fruit teas, taste just like Beechams cold an flu drinks... you can get the same effect by microwaving some ribena :-P

[Bri w]

Now this does pain me, the yorkshire stuff

hahaha, loving it!

Got to be Yorkshire, grown up on Ilkley Moor and picked early September.

Failing that, Earl Grey.

[yorkie_chris]

Have a guess...

[Bluefish]

Have a guess...
Darjeeling? :D

No, I like the taste of tea - which is why I like it to be really strong.

[Sid Squid]

;)Yorkshire Tea, the only thing I've found I like about Yorkshire
Same here.

And leave the bag in, all the way 'til the end - yum.

[tinpants]

Tea.

PG Tips.


N.A.T.O. Standard.




That is all.

[Bluefish]

What do you recon?,

[Traders]

Yorkshire Tea... the water round here is hard so you need something to give it some flavour.

[Dave20046]

Last time I buy tesco's cheapest - every second tea bag is split:mad:

[keithd]

Home - Yorkshire Tea
Work - Sainsburys' Red Label ... surprisingly good as it happens

[Quedos]

Scottish blend all the way
though

I like fancy tea - cherry an cinnamon, and some strange detox tea!! But I am weird!

[appollo1]

Tetleys is normally the brand i would buy but my wife has a tendancy to buy whatever is on offer at the supermarket. scottish blend has been her most recent purchase and it's not too bad.

She doesn't drink tea and i can't stand the smell of coffee so when i go shopping and she asks me to buy coffee i buy her the cheapest on the shelf. I think she is starting to get the message that there is a big difference in the taste of both tea and coffee and the cheapo ones are cheap for a reason!!

[Milky Bar Kid]

We bought cheapo coffee in the office a few weeks ago and MY GOD - it tasted like gravy or something. Also smelt like gravy granules. 6 jars the lassie bought because it was on offer....we binned them.

According to the chief of police in hit Canadian cop tv series Due South; police are supposed to drink crappy coffee,its part of the job.

Now there's a random post.

But---------does coffee make you want to go to the loo more than tea or vice-versa

[Drew Carey]

My three main favs are Twinnings Assam, Twinings Earl Grey or.....Yorkshire Tea.

However, I do quite like the occasional Lapsang souchong, Lady Grey or darjeeling.

Personally though......I drink primarily coffee....Carte Noir.....Yuuummmmmmmmm

Thats what Garry buys that or Alta Rica.
I make him buy his own coffee as I don't drink it that often and I doon't know whats a good coffee or bad coffee!

[STRAMASHER]

Don't care as long as it hot (y'all hear Yanks?!:)) with milk n' twa sugars.

I work with folk who leave the bag in the cup. And who could get a strong cuppa by scrapping the sides of their cup due to it never ever being cleaned.

Weirdest was in Tunisia. Green, roasting hot but so clear you could see the mound of sugar at the bottom.
