Re: What kind of Tea do you like?

I'm partial to Darjeeling, although Earl Grey is a close second (or is it Gray?).

I enjoyed the pyramid power when I was in England. Good stuff, even when I drank it without milk. But I never saw it in Germany.

I'll add my support to Yorkshire Tea - Nowt'  fancy or namby-pamby there.......... it's a man's drink is Yorkshire! (and a damn good one too)

Used to be a PG Tips buyer until we discovered Yorkshire about ten years ago.

Re: What kind of Tea do you like?

I like Twinings OK.  I like Earl Grey.  I like Ceylon Tea (spicy)

But I make Green Tea double strength for health & long life... cool

Proper tea?  lol

Re: What kind of Tea do you like?

It's too obvious but Blue Tea, as played at Mr Kyps back in 2007.  Thanks to CuztardPi for getting that one for posterity.

Otherwise just what I call 'builders tea'.  Black, in a mug, no sugar.

I've always wanted to ask this question here because I'm sure, we have many tea lovers on this forum. For myself, my normal weekday tea is the old standard Lipton regular tea. I must admit, I'm not a big fan of herbal teas.

I came across a new tea recently that is quite good. It's made by Stash Tea and it's called "Chai Spice Black Tea". It has blended black tea, ginger root, cinnamon, clove oil, allspice, clove, nutmeg and cardamom oil in it. Not for the faint of heart, but I must say a very good tea. wink

Anyone else?

Hey Roy,
I was given some Assam tea last year that my boss brought back from Turkey

Re: What kind of Tea do you like?

Ah Lyn - you beat me to "Blue Tea." 

Never did develop a taste for tea - now Dunkin Donuts cah-fee  - that's heaven!
