Tooj 17 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The only type of tea that I drink is green tea, although nowhere near as much as I used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've tried green. Is it a perfume type taste? Â Once had a gorgeous Assam but could never find one in the shops that tasted as good. Â Current tea is Twinnings Breakfast.

Meenzer 15193 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Clipper's green, peppermint etc. teas are nice. As for "proper" tea (other than being theft) I'm not that fussed so I'll tend to just buy what's on offer at the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4530 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yorkshire. Quite like Yorkshire. Had a box of Yorkshire Gold in my hand this afternoon but switched to Twinnings at the last minute. Â (Mainly because it's often in nice hotels and the perforations in the bag look nicer).

See this is stupidity!  You'll happily go I to a pub and pay £4 or £5 for a pint, but will quibble over saving a few penny's on tea.  A box of say 240 works out around 16p a cup yet you might do without a brand you like, simply to shave half a pence off per cup!!!!  Madness. You should be carted off! Oh wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be carted off! Oh wait.... That analogy only works if you can taste the difference between different brands of black/breakfast/normal tea. I can't to any significant extent. If I couldn't tell the difference between beers then I'd buy Carling or Fosters rather than something actually nice but more expensive. But I can. There's so much that can affect a regular cuppa beyond the teabag anyway. Water quality, brewing time, milk, all of that. Mind I suppose that's also true of how a pub keeps its beer.

The Fish 10543 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Depends. Twinings English Breakfast mostly, I do like Yorkshire (and their hard-water variety is a must down here if you can't be arsed to Britta filter the water pre-kettle), when I'm out I don't ask for the brand of tea, but usually I'll drink English Breakfast until early evening, when I'll switch to Earl Grey. We do have a few of the more smokey varieties at home, but I rarely go for those when out. Â Green Tea is excellent on a hangover, or just when you're feeling down. Â Meenzer is right though, so many things can affect a tea that if I were at home and my Dad offered me a cup of Ringtons tea, I'd probably hang fire until my Mam offered half an hour later. Â He's just to quick to whip the bag out; doesn't let the fucking thing brew. smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
