tea

[colin1]

I know that a lot of people in this country drink loads of tea and coffee, but I never have really.

However, a few months into this job I'm doing, I've discovered I quite like a nice cuppa in the morning.

But they have switched the brand of tea bags provided from PG to Tetley.

It's hardly worth drinking the stuff any more, and I'm considering buying my own.

Anyone else got a tea bag preference ?

Is there any cheapo own brand varieties that taste a bit like PG tips but not at all like tetley ?

Me adopting local culture, may even make me consider supporting a football team, but I doubt it.

At 23 the appeal of tea and coffee still remains a mystery, and i'm fairly certain it will stay that way.

Hot, possibly fruity piss, and nothing more.

Tea is a good thing.

Good tea is even better.

To all you doubters, read what Douglas Adams had to say about tea and then give it a try. That's taken from 'The Salmon of Doubt' - I remember reading it years ago and then immediately feeling compelled to give it a bash and by God, the man was right!

Cheers, Stu

I can't start the day without a cup of tea, pretty much all I have drunk since I was about 12. Usually drink twining's or tetley extra strong.

I was in a supermarket the other day and bought a packet of 'punjana' teabags, a woman grabbed a packet to show to her elderly mother saying they looked good, the old lady read the label and said 'Oh no, I'll have yorkshire tea, I don't want any of that foreign stuff.'

I nearly died trying not to laugh.

I didn't like tea at all, I thought it tasted like hot water tbh.

Ever since I worked on a farm for a bit doing 4-5 hour milking sessions and drinking several mugs during that, I like it now.
Has to have sugar though. On its own is too bland for me.

Coffee is nice, learnt to like it black as we had no access to milk at my old school. Although I prefer it with milk.

And for those people who think Yorkshire tea is grown in Yorkshire

Yorkshire doesn't taste like Tetley, I don't mind Tetley though, the only ones I don't like are cheap supermarket own brand ones, all the ones I've tried tasted horrendous and I threw them out.

I am however what some would call a heathen as I don't put milk in my tea....I use coffee mate done it since I was about 13 and always will, milk doesn't taste too bad just not nice, though I can't stand milk in coffee.

As for fruit teas, they sound gay, but they taste nice. Tesco's and Asda do a lemon and ginger one of their own which is really nice, also cammomile is nice but it's a fairly unique taste so some may not like it. I've tried Green Tea on recommendation and i'm not a fan yet, but there's lots of different ones and they alll taste quite different apparently.

I love tea,

sometimes I drink so much it makes me feel sick.

I can appricate a good cuppa but I even enjoy a crappy cupper like the machine dishes out at work.

Edit:- Yuk I just remembered a girl at uni (A yank) used to make tea by putting a teabag in a cup of cold water then putting it in the microwave.

My job means I get to taste allsorts of different teas. Without a doubt, Yorkshire Tea is the best. Don't put the sugar in until the bag is out.

At work I drink Tetley, but at home I use Tesco value tea bags which i find suit my taste buds quite well. I used to use Ringtons and it got delivered to my door.
I drink mine black and not too strong, so realy it is more like a cup of coloured water

I'm with kitty kat, black tea, not too strong and no sugar. Tea of preference are either Ceylon or Traditional Afternoon, both are in the mid strength category and go down a treat. Not really much difference between Twinings and the supermarket own versions either.

I like tea, but it gives me backache - I'm guessing my kidneys.

On the subject of tea, where's Teaman? Not seen him for ages.

Not all the time but a couple of times a day; Red Bush Tea; thirst quenching, no need for milk, sweet without sugar. Tastes good too. Plus it has no caffine or tannin.
