Tea.... an alternative to beer ;)

[Desert_Voyager]

I love a cup of tea.... English breakfast tea is my favourite.... but I don't like Earl Grey.

I like Indian teas especially Assam,but my ALL time favorite is the Welsh Tea "Glengettie" IMHO its an unbeatable cuppa and not cheap

I didn't start drinking tea until my mid-twenties (deeply un-British, I know). However, I do enjoy a brew now. By choice I would drink strong Darjeeling, with a slice of lemon and a level teaspoon of demerrara sugar. If I'm having milk, then just a dash with my PG Tips pyramid.

ps I agree, Earl Grey is vile!

here at work Im drinking a 'double trouble': half earl grey, half english breakast, splash of milk, no sugar.

Great thread!

I have been drinking tea since before I was born, and cannot imagine life without it. I prefer a good, strong builder's tea, about 1 part milk to 8 parts tea, no sugar (white - none = Julie Andrews.... black - none = Whoopi Goldberg.... geddit?)

It should be about the colour of a good sun-tan.

Here in Louisiana, we love a good, tall glass of sweet iced tea. Absolutely refreshing! A lot of folks like to add lemon to it, but I don't particularly care for it myself (though I will admit, it is tasty that way).

I love iced tea (with lemon). It is one of the most refreshing drinks I know.

.... and a great hang-over cure too.

And here's me thinking you were Scots.......

As my spritual home is the Clwyd Valley (Mam came from there), I buy Glengettie out of "loyalty", but I do admit it makes a smashing cuppa...

A nice cup of Earl Grey, dash of milk and no sugar! Perfect for a good listening session Of TD!

I stopped buying English Breakfast 'cos it's so damned expensive, but it's a favourite....

I like Earl Grey, it's great stuff but tastes really pants if you add sugar. Tend to drink it first thing in the morning. In the evening I tend to drink English Breakfast....... yeh I don't know why either.

I quite like some fruit/herbal teas, as they generally do a good job of refreshing the palette. I find the odd cup of mint tea is good for this, but my favourite is rosehip and hibiscus. I absolutely detest camomile tea!

Ah yes, I do love a cup of peppermint tea with a teaspoon of runny honey.... very cooling and relaxing in summer.

Not tried it with honey, I'll give that a go!
