Tea thread

Twinings Earl Grey + brown sugar, but no milk

Interesting. I generally take my Earl Grey without anything added, except for the first cup of the day when the sugar hit is needed to move the eyelids to upright.

Never thought of using brown sugar for it though, its generally unrefined cane sugar I use for that first precious cup of the day. I may try this out.

i bought a twinings mini selection pack the other day after reading this thread, enjoying the english breakfast tea

The Twinings Irish breakfast is excellent. Better than the English

anyone else use honey? I can't fathom sugar now after switching to honey.

honey is the shit

Late to this thread. But, currently M&S Strong Tea, no sugar and plenty milk at work. Followed by afternoon Yorkshire decaff, no sugar and milk. Same decaff at home for evening tipples old chap.

At home, Twinnings English and also some cheap Tescos Red Label because I got given it.

I thoroughly recommend putting snobbery aside and try Tescos discount branded (you know their recent introduction) premium tea - if there was ever a contradiction in terms - as it's genuinely up there with Twinings Brekkie.

What is also good is homemade honey & ginger tea

whole green cardamom pods
Carnations
Fennel
Cinnamon
black pepper
alot of fresh ginger
mint
+++
honey made by bees ;D
soya milk sometimes, then mood is right ;D

yumyumm! ^^

Mondays at my work is black tea time (until about11 when tescos deliver the milk) I hate milk anyway, nothing worse than milk in first or teabag out before milk then you get the nasty slimy scum on it :shudder:

Yorkshire Gold, kick the ballix out of the tea bag, enough milk to make it look 'normal'. Bosh.

Awesome thread... god I have missed the internet


P.S. hades is right about the coffee burning thing. I let my coffee water cool down for 90 seconds to 2 minutes before I pour it on the ground coffee.

Instant coffee is an abomination too, and I'll physically fight anyone who disagrees to the death.

none of this Cafeteria bollocks

I like extremely high quality green tea brewed strong as the hurricane wind
