The Tea Thread

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The only thing worse than tea is coffee.

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).

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.

A lot of people love iced tea. It never did much for me personally.

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.

I like tea. What brand or type doesn't really matter. I've never had a tea I didn't like.

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

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.

Green tea. With lots of cinnamon.

 

Other than that I'll take any old biffer stewed tea.
