Good cup of tea

Weak tea without milk was the only thing my mother in law and I ever had in common - apart from that it was all down hill!

I never drink tea when we're out as they never make it to my liking.
At home love a mug of good old PG

I love a mug of tea, but I bet none of you would like it the way I have it. My FIL used to call it "maidens pee", and "frightening it with a tea leaf"! I drink it very, VERY weak, no milk or sugar, but like it very hot. I like ordinary everyday tea, can`t stand all the fancy flavoured ones, especially Earl Grey, it`s like drinking liquid ointment!

Proper tea, real or decaff. Nothing else really hits the spot for me like a good brew. I don't drink coffee but I find the tea they sell in "the leading brand coffee shops" is quite disappointing.

I have not yet found anywhere in Europe where they get it just right.
They don't seem to understand about needing the water to be boiling. Then its Lipton's yellow lable which is not inspiring.

I did get a rubbish brew in a hotel restaurant in Aberstwyth a few weeks
I think all catering working staff in Britain should get proper lessons in making a good cup of tea.
ago but the tea in the bedrooms there was really good.
I wonder if tea drinkers in the UK are in the minority now.

I love foreign food of all sorts but I feel very deprived on holiday if I cannot get a good brew. Taylor's of Harrogate be proud.

Me! Addicted to tea? My final mug of tea of the day is in my hand now.

I always think the cup of tea they give you in hospital after you have had a baby is the best drink in the world -even if it could put hairs on your chest!

I drink that, too. Found the green tea at my daughters.

I drink Tick Tock redbush. I didn't know they did green tea. Might try it!

Ha Ha about the Gee Gee bit very good. Don't think I would hang around outside any station late at night. I did notice the houses well saved.

I'd be very careful outside Derby Station Bit. The S.O. and I once spent an hour or so at the bus stop there [the buses to our village being very infrequent late at night and we'd missed one]watching very strange goings on at a house directly opposite the station ! However, I'm glad you've metioned tea because I was, in fact, wanting to mention some tea that I'd found. I try to drink green tea, because it's good for me,so I buy it and then never drink it cause I hate the taste. But I've recently bought some Tick Tock green tea and it's great. I'm not yet up to the recomended three cups a day, but I'm getting there. Will check out Gees. Of course, if it was called Gee Gees there would be no holding me back from the place . Going off at a tangent, I'm not sure if you noticed the little terraced houses nearby. They wanted to pull them down years ago but we had a petition [I worked at the railway tech centre at the time] and saved them. There's also a fantastic little pub with it's own brewery on the same block [can't remember the name of it, though].
