BruceVC Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I love tea, I was raised on tea and only drink coffee if I want a break. I need a cup of tea everyday to get me up in the morning I generally drink local brands and Rooibos "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
aluminiumtrioxid Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Right now I have two different kinds of Yunnan Mao Feng (green) and some fairly cheap kenyan black tea, which, while surprisingly good for its price, I mainly drink with heavy additions of cinnamon, clove and freshly-grated ginger, so it's kinda lost on me.

Azdeus Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Maybe ya'll been tryin' some bunk-ass counterfeit Earl Grey tea. Ya'll need to try some Bigelow Earl Greay team. Maybe it's just proximity, since Bigelow teas are made right here in the overpriced state of Connecticut, though all the packets are individually sealed, which leads me to believe that Bigelow Earl Grey teas are just higher quality. Regardless, I've tried other brands, and none of them came even close. Bigelow Earl Grey teas have a nice sharp bite that hits you hard then fades away clean, leaving you with the nice smooth, yet pronounced, black tea taste. Amazing what you can stumble over on the internet. :D 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken
Nonek Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Twining's Earl Grey, the original blend, not that revolting new mix they "pioneered" a few years ago. Keeps ones upper lip stiff, ones mustache sprightly and ones little finger pointing to heaven as it should while imbibing. 2 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
Monte Carlo Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 As I am British my tea preferences trump all of yours. Earl Grey tastes of perfume and is disgusting. My preferred tea is plain and simple PG TIps, milky with two sugars. Anything else is for effete hipsters with waxed facial hair and a dainty tattoo on their pinky finger. That is all. 1
Amentep Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 The only thing worse than tea is coffee. The only thing worse than coffee is tea. Dreadful stuff, only popular with those who feel water should have a flavor. Mind you, I come from the southern US, where the only tea is sweat tea - black tea and sugar brewed in hot water, then chilled with ice (although originally it was green tea) - and it is particularly vile (I admit this only anonymously on the boards lest the south rise up against me for expressing such an opinion). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Monte Carlo Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I quite like iced tea, actually. Lipton's peach, or that chilled green stuff with orange and honey. It's even better if you dump some rum or vodka in it. 1

Keyrock Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Iced tea is quite good, but I have to make it myself. Any pre-made brand you buy here in The States is laced with an ungodly amount of sugar. It's sickening and should be considered a crime against humanity. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Amentep Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 A lot of people love iced tea. It never did much for me personally. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Monte Carlo Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 No 'Tep the tea you describe sounds awful. The chilled fruity stuff OTOH is ok.
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I drink iced tea with sugar and rum.

Meshugger Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Good old Earl Gray whenever i feel like it (4-5 times a year). Any other brand means that you have to go somewhere else than the local supermarket, something that i would never bother myself to do.

Nonek Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 The Grandam swore by Nettle tea, developed a taste for it during the wars when rationing was in effect, tastes foul to me personally.

TrashMan Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I feel overwhelming sense of sadness for the person with inferior mental qualities and poor decision making skills, who doesn't appreciate the greatness that is tea.
