So this morning i was walking along regents street and i noticed a new tea shop. its called T2 (http://www.t2tea.com/).
I went in and the amount of tea that they have was fantastic. And now im really tempted to get involved in the loose tea movement along with my love of all things coffee
I put it to you that coffee is dead and we should all be drinking tea.

It's all dead over here. On holiday in California, only been here a couple of days and not found anything drinkable other than a few craft ales. Is beer for breakfast to wash down doughnuts acceptable?0

loose tea movement
Is this a loose movement caused by drinking too much tea? :shock:ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -

As Greg states, beer is the breakfast of champions, although to my mind, best accompanied by cold pizza at that repast. Has to be better that Liptons tea. <shudder>Location: ciderspace0 -
I have several teapots. While I like a good coffee, there's something about the ritual of making proper leaf tea that a stove top espresso pot with freshly ground beans can't quite compete with. Then there's all the different Chinese and Japanese teas which are to PG Tips what a 10% ABV Californian craft Imperial Stout is to a can of Carling. And the names are good: Wuyi Supreme Red Robe, Monkey-picked Tie Guan Yin. Which then leads into having all the right kit: type of teapot, the right porcelain or stoneware cups; and obsessing over brewing the tea at the exact right temperature and time for the type of leaf...1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah!

Unless we're talking green tea, certain fruit tea and what not, tea is just rancid.

My OH lives very near T2 in Shoreditch, whenever I cycle the 20+ miles over I sit outside and drink all of the complementary ice tea.. it's not bad actually.

Iced tea isn't real tea. Its the tea equivalent of frappuccino.My OH lives very near T2 in Shoreditch, whenever I cycle the 20+ miles over I sit outside and drink all of the complementary ice tea.. it's not bad actually.0 -
What about cold brew coffee?
