I like Yorkshire tea , usually in bags , fairly strong with milk no sugar. Porcelain mug I can't abide a 'thick' cup/mug.

Waitrose own (fair trade) teabags for every day; mix of Twinings breakfast and early grey (leaves) for special. OR Lady/Earl Grey teabags on holiday. (Must be Twinings though - don't like other brands). Always from a china mug.

PG Tips in pyramid bags are my preference. Got to be in a white china cup, not too strong. I do occasionally use leaf tea in a teapot, but can't be bothered unless I have visitors.

I watched Murder Most Foul recently, Envious. Mararet Rutherford is my favourite Mss Marple.

I like builder's and make it with Typhoo - real leaves - in a pot and drink it with milk and one sugar, out of a china mug. grin

There was a lovely, gentle, documentary about tea done by Victoria Wood on telly last week (mentioned on another thread) - did anyone see it? I thought it was great.

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!
