Another boring question from me just answer short and sweet.I was watching a old movie on T.V. Margaret Rutherford in Murder most Foul.She was drinking tea out of a Cornishware mug and I was wondering what brand tea you favor? I'm a earl grey fan but for everyday I thought Id ask you what seems to be the favorite brand? T.g. Tips? Barry's?Yorkshire?I like my tea strong but plan ole Lipton black tea is good enough for me everyday. Something I had never seen before she was wearing a cowl neck dress with a large hydrangea blossom down the front!

I used to drink Dr Stewart's Tranquillity tea at night, but I'm such a good sleeper that I decided I didn't need it and to just stick to redbush.

Always get M&S Gold loose tea - don't like teabags.

I've recently discovered for myself the Pukka teas mentioned by Gally and Maniac and have absolutely loved the ones I've had. My favourite is the 'detox' fennel and aniseed one - it really delivers a fantastic taste. This morning I found a friend had left me a box of their tea assortment. The ginger is very nice and I'm now going to try the Three Tulsi tea. smile

PG or Yorkshire tea bags, china mug, very little milk, no sugar. Hate tea from a thick mug. No idea why.

For quickness Yorkshire Gold for hard water.
For best - Assam leaf tea.

I like it strong and often, in a double sized china mug!

Sleepy time tea without milk (Waitrose) is lovely when you can't sleep.

The makers of Yorkshire tea make a variety especially for hard water. Goodness knows why it's in the stores around here!
