Tea

How do you drink yours? Personally I find Yorkshire Gold to be a king amongst teas. Black, no sugar please.

I like rooibos tea because it's naturally decaffeinated and I can't take too much caffeine. I have a tiny bit of milk and no sugar.

Ah yes, I have rooibos in the evening sometimes as caffiene helps insomnia not, and I like the "11 O Clock Tea" box. Just to be a pedant, it isn't decaffeinated, it's caffeine free :>

Lady Grey is my tea of choice, with just a dash of milk.

I drink Yorkshire tea nowadays.
And Rooibos. Sometimes Twinings Rooibos with pineapple.
I rather like Earl Grey, but only once in a while.

The stronger the better, always with a splash of milk, no sugar.

I'd like to get hold of Earl Grey and teach him a thing or two about making tea.

Darjeeling, black, one sugar. Preferably from a glass rather than a cup.

I'm happy with your plain old "standard" tea - a box of Tesco Premium Teabags is my current choice. Combine with milk and two sugars, it does the job for me, thank you very much!

I think it depends on the mood. I usually drink green tea - the Twinings orange and lotus flower tea is a particular favourite (and Beatons carries it, hurrah). When I'm not drinking green tea, I like Lady Grey, chai or, in the non-flavoured catrgory, ceylon or darjeeling. I never take milk or sugar.

I can heartily recommend the Tea Society to any fellow fans - a thoroughly nice bunch of people, and they even let me win this year's poetry contest! :)

This is not only my favorite tea, it is how I like my tea. That is, cold.

i wish I could say: "don't knock it til you've tried it" (because it is FANTASTIC stuff), but it's apparently only sold here on the west coast.
