Tea

[Barcon]

I won't mention the brita filter i bought about 6 hours ago or the light and dark muscovado sugar that is considered essential to me.

This is the one we had before we got the new fridge with built in filter and ice maker.

Dragonfly White Tea.

 

[Hoghead]

Every morning at least 2 cups or a pot of tea if it's the weekend, semi skimmed milk, no sugar, colour the same as a Manchester dart board
Then ive woken up.

Dragonfly White Tea.

Try the Teapigs variety,pricey but superb,as is their entire range.

My perfect mug of tea:-

Twinings "Everyday" teabag in mug topped up with freshly boiled water - stand for exactly 2 minutes, do not stir.
Remove teabag, add splash of semi-skimmed milk, no sugar.
Reheat in microwave for 10 seconds, drink and enjoy.

I'm using my Sports Direct pint mug for my tea right now - hungover

 

[MCFCTrick]

Strong ... splash of milk, no sugar.

 

[stony]

I don't think its the tea but the cup that separates the toffs from us mug swillers.

Any bloke who drinks tea out of a cup instead of a mug is a massive twat.

Strong, milk, one sugar.

I think the real test is this. If you go round a normal persons house for the first time as a guest, do you feel a massive twat asking for your tea of choice?
I certainly would if I asked for a green tea, special milk or some other shit. Anyone who even asks if you have a variety of tea choices should be shown the fucking door and directed to the nearest starfucks or some other place that charges five quid for a brew that tastes of fucking fruit or other such vile nonsense.

Was with you all the way until you said milk in the cup first you dirty bastard ;-)

 

[idahoblues]

just had three big mugs of PG tips

 

[otherwise]

Don't really care with my parents, drink it straight. When I visit some friends 1 sugar, others put the sugar in the kettle with the loose leaf. If I make it too strong I'll add a splash of milk.

I didnt realise it was a regionalised phenomenon, do you get snobby and superior about the Westside??

I live in the west, and am proud that my milk comes in a jug.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Strong, splash of milk, done. Sugar turns it to poison.

Do like a good Earl Grey from time to time (got to be heavy on the bergamot) and am partial to the eastern leaves if I have a quiet moment to appreciate them.

Jasmine tea is as far as I'll go flower wise, and fruit tea overpromises and underdelivers on a massive scale.

It seems the noncey coffee ways are being brought to tea by the looks of this thread, my old mum will be turning in her grave, she drank PG tips all day every day.

Fucking hate coffee as well, especially all this US style loads of types from wanky coffee shops that are all over the place, with cunts drinking it on the go. Sit down with a proper brew ffs.

Milk first is quite acceptable if you've brewed in a pot, it is wholly unacceptable if you are brewing with a bag in a mug, the fat molecules clog up the holes in the bag, meaning it doesnt brew properly.

Prelactarians do have higher pitched voices than postlactarians, makes of that what you will.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Mocking the dead isnt very funny at the best of times, when its my mum it makes you an utter ****.

Yorkshire tea is the best tea in the world. Not sure whereabouts in Yorkshire they grow it, probably in the Rhubarb triangle. Weird shit goes on in there all the time.

I like the red, gold not so good

I drink the red, gallons of it. In fact it's a toss up right now as to whether I'm going to crack open a bottle of wine or brew up.
