Should be made from tea, none of this herbal / minty / fruity sh17.
Joke told to me by a mate of mine:
Q: how can you tell what class someone is?
A: ask them "What's your favourite tea?". If they answer "Darjeeling (etc)", they're upper class; if it's "PG Tips", middle class. If it's "Pie 'n' chips", then they're working class

Milk in first or last?0

Warm the pot0

PG any time of the day, all day. Best in the pot, milk last. Brew like you're in the army or NHS.
I drink at least a pint of it a day.0 -
A pint? Lightweight!0

I prefer Asian tea to African tea, the latter is quite earthy. My favourite tea when I want a nice cup is currently is Nepalese Himalayan Mountain Tea. So delicate. Although normally I drink the tea bags at work. They would be ok if it wasn't for the urn the water comes from and the long life milk added to it. Oh and the mug still with the last persons drips....0

Currently enjoying Char Rooibos Gingerbread.( http://www.charteas.com/home/shop/product/1-18-143.html ) I'm in a Christmassy mood, we put the tree up today. And I may have drifted from my working class roots.0

Wrong thread.
Tick tock Roibos is the only non-tea tea I drink. Twinnings breakfast tea but not in Scotland 'cos the water is so diluted here. Much prefer tea in chalky areas like Eeeestbaaaaaaaaaaawn for example.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Eeeeestbaaaaaaawn, land of the dead. Watch out for coach day. Great tea though.pinarello001 wrote:florerider wrote:is gingerbread cake?

"Warming the pot"? F*** me, it's not 1943. Unless your pot is made of bone china, this is unecessary.
If making a pot of tea, made it all up in the pot - tea, milk, sweetening material of choice. I can do this 'cos I'm the only one in the house who drinks tea.
And Yorkshire tea, like the rest of Yorkshire, is over-rated.

That sounds utterly revolting...

Tea made in a pot is always better flavour than in a cup with a tea bag. The tradition has been lost because nobody has any time any more. We are always rushing about like headless chickens, chasing our own tales for no f*cking reason whatsoever. So if you think brewing tea in a pot (it does not have to be a China one, I don't own a China tea pot) is a posh, archaic thing, then that's fallacy. I remember most people brewing tea in a pot, rich or poor and I am not that old.
So we could move this thread on to a philosophical debate about the dwindling cultures and traditions getting slowly lost in our societal rush towards heart attacks and death, with tea traditions being an acid test of British devolution.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Popular method in India - ingredients put in cold and heated up on the stove. Tastes disgusting (just my opinion of course).
I make tea in the pot (stainless steel, pre warmed) and use a tea cosy. I do this because I drink so much of the stuff, about 15 mugs a day when I'm keeping score.0 -
earl grey if I'm making it myself, if a minion is making it - any type will do0

Do you think we should make a nice cup of English tea for T47b? Maybe he needs something to entice him back.probably fed up with the Portugese stuff by now.0

Hogs Back Brewery TEA as mentioned by Arran upthread is lovely, I had far too much of that on a few occasions. Failing that I don't go for any of the fancy teas or green teas just a proper mug of reasonably strong tea with milk and no sugar. If I'm at home and not dashing about from a pot, otherwise bag in a mug with some milk works for me.0
