Tea......?

Which do you prefer?....
Normal (PG, etc...), posh (Earl Grey, etc...), Green, fruity infusion, herbal...
With milk, lemon, black, sugar...

Very bored...
I like green tea, from an unbleached tea bag (don't ask!). :shock:

I like green tea, camomile tea, some fruity ones (but not many). But the ones I tend to drink are Twinings Everyday, Ceylon and Chai, the latter with half a sugar and very little milk, Ceylon with no milk or sugar

Firecrakka

- Also bored and with new digicam.

Fairly standard black tea with about 15% Earl Grey added to the caddy for me but it's always leaf tea. This is seriously out of fashion but it does taste much better - ok, it's not quite as big a difference as giving a real coffee drinker Nescafé, but it's a noticeable difference nonetheless.

I like mild tea so Twinings Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Darjeeling or Ceylon for me. All with milk, lots of it. I have tea bags and leaf versions - not noticed a difference with either but like to make a pot of leaf tea at the weekend.

I feel such a twit though asking for Earl Grey in cafes. Don't want to sound like a snob, but I don't like the taste of 'normal' PG or the like.

Not keen on green tea or fruit teas though.

Why does it seem snobbish to ask for a good tea, yet people think nothing of choosing their favourite ground coffee? :?:

Also, you cant beat a good pot of lapsang souchong on a cold autumnal morning. Not to everyone's taste, though.

Red Rock

I like the taste of red bush

I like Clipper Organic Grew up on PG though. I drink the occasional roybosh/red bush and green tea though. I have some Japanese organic "smoked" green tea though which tastes disgusting. I nearly threw up when I tried to drink some!

If i'm going for unblended then i quite like assam. Partial to the odd cup of EG to.

not a big fan of fruit teas - they promise so much but deliver so little. However i do like herb teas - Mint, nettle etc...

I enjoy many varities of tea. Currently, I'm drinking honeybush and also I have a packet of some St. John's Wort herbal tea that I usually drink before bed. However, my favorite tea would have to yerba mate. Gives me plenty of energy and great kick start to the senses.

muffin top

Yorkshire Tea (I believe it's grown on t' south facin' slopes of Wensleydale).

On a good day there's a mug waiting for me on my desk.

On a great day I get in to work on time and the tea's still hot - champion!

+1, unless it's a pint, then its 3 sugars.

PG Tips, big Starbucks mug, 2 bags, leave it for a bit before adding milk. Slurp!

Normal - have about 10-15 cups a day - bit too much really - use a single sweetner, and half a sugar - trying to cut down on the sugar intake a bit.

petejuk

Just bought some Yorkshire Gold- really good cup of tea, although Brook Bond Choicest Blend is my favourite. Hard to find though.

10-15?! :shock: I hope that's caffeine free variety...

Redbush with lemon. Okay with milk too. Nice......
Good call re ground coffee (Yirgacheffe Ethiopiain). Another thread?

If its a good old proper cup of tea then Lancashire tea is my tipple. 1 sweetner and a good dash of milk (full fat).
I also quite like a nice cup of green tea (loose not bagged) with a couple of cardoman pods infused with it.
The missus has some twinning mango flavoured teas at the moment. They smell lovely but I find the taste a big let down.

We've been getting our tea from http://www.fine-t.co.uk. They've got a good range of green tea, and of course, the amazing Tea Machine!

I agree with muffin top, a good cup of yorkshire tea, strong, milky with one sugar, normally a cup waiting for me too & if I'm lucky a couple of good old fashioned custard creams.

OK, that sounds like time to start off a 'best biscuit' [1] thread (although haven't we had one of those before?).....
