Tea

[CHAPPERS]

Hello to you!

I'm trying to cut down on my dairy intake at the moment and this has led me to trying out some new types of tea that we have in the office. This morning, purely coincidentally, I'm enjoying White Tea which is made from the youngest and most tender part of the tea plant and it's delicate flavours are pleasing. What are your favourite types of TEA? Please do not start banging on about Yorkshire Tea and that, I'm talking about tea for the upper middle class drinkers like me.

Do you want me to rate the teas as I go? Okay, I will.

White tea - Excellent start, really refreshing and light with a satisfying colour to it. 8.4

I remember Camomile tea being the absolute BOOM TING when you are stoned.

Careful, the police are on here!

PG Tips. I can't stand them poofy teas.

EDIT: Not that I'm implying that people who drink tea other than PG Tips are homosexual, and obviously if they ARE that's fair enough and I totally love and respect them.

You know, I was actually a bit worried about police presence on here when posting this, you know, because of the white tea.

Anyway, back to TEA. I've tried green tea but I find it a little bitter for my taste.

I used to drink lots of tea - but now it is just tap water. And a cup of tea when I get home from the office.

Aren't these infusions rather than teas ?

Green tea is good with some fresh mint in it though, takes the bitter edge off.

Earl Grey for when the sun shines. Probably to posh for NSC.

Normal tea with a couple of slices of lemon instead of milk. What is more the lemon actually gets rid of all the scum that forms due to the hard chalky water around here. Less dairy products, more vitamin C.

I am a fan of the EG, and I'm young, and hip.

I dont like tea, but bought some nice stuff back from India which was mixed with saffron, cinnamon and cardomon

No milk involved, just hot water innert

Devonshire Tea is worth looking out for - lovely blend. Not tea grown id Devon but blended to complement an afternoon tea.

(although nigh on impossible to find - so maybe not that helpful a tip)

I am old and my hips are fine.

Try making your own blend - take your favourite everyday tea and mix with equal quantities of Earl grey - makes a brilliant breakfast tea. This is how Woolley Grange Hotel near ath blend their tea - yummy.

Sorry can't let that comment pass, it gets right on my wick; you either like the taste and smell of Camomile or don't..

My robust English Breakfast is more expensive in JS, and i ain't posh, just know what like.

BTW, How upset are Twinings that they didn't trademark 'Earl Grey' back when they came up with it..

Earl Grey - For posh times, well tasty if a BIT like drinking an actual flower - 8/10
Twining's English Breakfast - Your classic greasy spoon cafe style tea, full of flavour though, well nice - 8.5/10

I am partial to a good cup of peppermint tea in the evening. I think it's more to do with the fact that it smells nice rather than tastes nice

 

[Austrian Gull]

Twinings Vanilla Tea is a much-loved cuppa chez moi.

 

[Scampi]

I really like white tea,imo far nicer than green. If I'm using the pot to make tea i like a mix of 2 thirds english breakfast to 1 third earl grey, served with a little milk.

I know you said not to mention Yorkshire Tea...but it is the best - grown in paddy fields just south of Barnsley.
