What tea do you drink?

[5v3d3b0]

I never really drank tea until I moved in with my friends 6 weeks ago, now suddenly I'm drinking 3 to 5 cups a day!
So far I haven't tried many, but Twinings Earl Grey is very nice, 2 sugars no milk.

What's your favourite and what could you recommend that would be in the same ballpark as EG?

[bikertomm]

Usually have about 4 or 5 cups a day, Kit kat chunky and a cuppa.. Ahhhh.


As for brand, think I've just got Tesco's own, good enough for me!

Not much else is like Earl Grey because it has bergomot oil in it. There is Lady Grey which is a lighter version of the same.

If you like the aromatic type of tea, you could try Chai. It's kind of spiced stuff that hippies drink a lot with honey in.

I try a lot of different teas but keep going back to PG tips.

Chai Tea? Is that the opposite of Tai Chi?

I like ordinary tea, Earl Grey, and I particularly like Yogi Aztec Choco Spice, Yogi Mayan Spice, and Nettle & Dandelion herbal teas.

Was looking at that Chai Tea in the shop the other day, might have to give it a try next time I run out.
I'm happy I like it though cause I used to drink up to 2 litres of coca cola a day; surely tea is a LOT healthier.
Also boils down to the fact that I'm broke as fook at the moment and can't afford to be spending money on shite

My everyday favourite is Tetley extra strong with 5 sugars (I have a pint mug!) and a good splash of milk.

Overall my favourite is Georgian Old Gentleman.

Try gradually reducing the sugar, it really masks the taste of tea (and coffee) If you have milk in it there's a touch of sweetness from that anyway.

[andyscooter]

yorkshire tea

and none of that 1 bag per two cups like it says get the flavour out into one cup with two sugers and a splash of milk


and a bourbon or maybe a custard cream

Darjeeling or Assam for me milk, no sugar.

[Dazbo666]

Earl Gray probably my favourite as a "treat"
Assam occasionally, although it's a little too weak for me.
But I usually go back to Typhoo/PG Tips/Glengettie - just a little milk, and no sugar.

Probably drink more coffee than anything - good quality instant, or preferably beans or ground in a cafetiere

When I was younger, I had two sugars in coffee, and one in tea... bit I now have no sugar in tea or coffee, cos I've found that it masks the genuine flavour of the drink

As a student there was a box of Earl Grey in the shared kitchen that nobody wanted to touch, but being lazy students none of us could be bothered to actually go and buy anything else. Eventually we were forced to drink it and since that point Earl Grey has always tasted just like normal tea for me and regular tea tastes really bland! I guess its like being used to having sugar in tea and then it just tastes wrong without (I don't have sugar in tea) but I do have milk in my Earl Grey. I agree that Twinings is definitely the best tasting Earl Grey in the UK.. but it is a different blend over here in NZ and is as weak as dishwater, so I have gotten in a local brand called T-Leaf-T! (Proper tea leaf tea tastes so much nicer than tea bags!) But my Mum sends me boxes of UK Twinings in the post!! As well as Double Deckers! Thanks Mum!

Yorkshire Tea for Hard Water, a little milk. Apparently they are the only company that makes a special blend for hard water areas. Not sure if it makes a difference, but it is very nice.

I drink this green powdered Korean stuff, it is hyper addictive and contains insane amounts of um stimulants.
