The Great British Tea Debate!

[xXx White Lily xXx]

Someone had one at a gig I went to and threw it on stage... So it prob was free lol

I love all kinds of tea (except red tea), but my favourite now has to be white tea with jasmine. It is...so good. I am a certified tea junkie.

I've developed quite a liking for Twiining's English Breakfast tea. I may have to splash out next time I go shopping. At the moment I have a huge bag of Sainsbury's Red Label for the mornings. I've just run out of Tesco's Decaff for the evening. I rather fancy the English Breakfast as a weekend treat.

What type of milk do you all favour, if you favour any? My tea has to have full-cream milk in it or it doesn't taste right.

I prefer whole milk too, although when it's in tea I can cope with semi skimmed or UHT.

TEA.

We were talking about TEA.

And just to prove it, have another teapot picture. sweatdrop

I want that tea pot. smile

I shan't try to list all the varieties of tea, loose and bagged but all black,that I have on hand. Twinings' Lady Grey loose in the tin is my favorite though. I enjoy spooking my best friend by being able to tell what variety of tea she's made for me by taste alone.

Generally I drink two cups a day. I'm in America where we don't have an acknowledged tea time or can find tea at work and school, so I miss tea drinking opportunities most of you have throughout the day. *envy*

Hoshits. I can barely go ten minutes without a cup of tea. Luckily, my Sixth Form classes allows me to do this during lessons, so I don't get all... cranky. W00t for me.

Alright already; this is at least the second reference to tea in school. What, are you allowed to bring it into your classrooms? Drinks except water were banned in my classes and at lunch time one could only find coffee.

I love tea. My favourite is genmaicha green tea from Japan. But if I drink English tea it has to be PG tips. I just love the way it tastes compared to other bog standard teas.

There is a fantastic tea shop in Covent Garden on Neal Street. If you love tea, I recommend a visit there.

A friend recently introduced me to PG Tips. Found in the import aisle of the local grocery, it is indeed far superior to other tea bag brands.

Is it really the #1 tea in England as the box proclaims?

Ever had the Japanese Matcha tea made from powdered tea leaves that they call "froth of liquid Jade" Shigatsuhana? I recently was given some by a gentleman who lives in Japan most of the year. It is amazing! The only green tea I like; it actually surpasses most base black teas.

I believe it's the highest selling tea in the country, yes. Can't speak for #1 for quality though.

If PG Tips where #1 for quality, I think the people at Fortnum's would have some sort of fit.

Do you ever feel like you're the only one left who just likes plain ol' Yorkshire Tea?
What's with all these fancy herbal types?

Oh yes. Yorkshire tea with a (fairly) small pile of Rich Tea biscuits for dunking*. Can't knock it.


* I actually was chasitised while going through Officer Training for dunking my biscuits - apparently it was "un-Officerlike". Don't care - still did it; still do.

I defiantly did the same at RCB (or AOSB as it now is) Westbury, and came away with a Category 1. I clearly have carte blanche to dunk!

The inevitable conclusion is that my brave stance 12 years ago has filtered through the Forces to bring what was once taboo into the realms of acceptable behaviour.

Or that my Flight Commander was a bit of a wanker...
On reflection, probably the latter smile

I'm not a tea-or-death person..I'm more of a coffe-or-death person although I must have my morning cup of tea. Must be mint, absolutely love it and it's good for the digestive system too.
Chai tea is great too, especially when you're on the road and it's freezing in a country which is known to be hot..and green tea and lemon and a small spoon of honey cure most of my sore throats.. So yes..tea is good!
You could say I was an ethical naturalist razz Well..only marginally. 3nodding  

[AkibeJosephus]

I am now so used to tea that if I miss two or more cups, I get headaches.

Damn Tetley, too addictive.
