Jambothump Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My drink of choice, in a teapot, is a teabag of earl Grey and one of ordinary tea, taken with milk. Earl Grey on it's own I take without milk. Don't take sugar, stopped at 16 when I started work and used to take 3 in a cup, freckin' hate sugar in tea now. jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Try as I might, I've just never managed to take to tea at all. My colleagues are all obsessed with their rooibos but it's just warm water that tastes a bit weird to me. If I can't have a nice mug of coffee I'd rather have a glass of cold water than that stuff.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm coffee daft as well.

Boris Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I got hustled (I think) in Shanghai by a couple of local lasses who took me to a tea ceremony. Tried about a dozen different types of tea then bought some to take home. All in cost me about ?80, but I reckon it had to be cheaper than that (worked out about ?4 a cup of each tea) and the bag of tea weighed in at about ?30. I console myself by thinking about the "once in a lifetime" experience it was, and would probably have happily spent ?40 on the whole thing... Anyway, fortunately the tea WAS superb. Still not opened the bag I bought though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 A tea ceremony sounds amazing. They should have one in the Diggers before the Killie game. To be fair it was actually quite interesting. Each tea apparently has different properties that help various parts of your body e.g. liver, brain, libido etc etc Kinda cool, if I didn't feel I'd been ripped off...

redm Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Actually just remembered the one pleasant tea drinking experience I had and that was drinking cay in Istanbul.

Can't see me earning tea junkie status but if I'm going to have funky tea cups I'd probably best find some sort of tea acceptable to my palate so that they're not just something else that pointlessly clutters up the flat.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sorry Redm I thought you said you were going to treat yourself to tea at the end of the month not a nice cup, that's why I made my bizarre comment. Not a fan of ginger, ASSASSIN. I'm going to hit the shop tomorrow and getting lemon t-bags, honey and may even get that red tea stuff Jonesey was on about. Weekend sorted.

Creepy Lurker Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I go through green and herbal teas like other people go through hot cakes! I'll have around three cups of various herbal teas a day: green, sencha, white, jasmine and oolong. Also taken a bit of a fancy to infusions recently; can't beat a nice cup of peppermint, Rooibos or Moroccan after dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
