Favourite cuppa

Well what a great selection of Teas (and a few coffees). It has heartened me to know that like me many of you like your tea in a china cup, it makes all the difference IMO.

Yes Brenda I too drink your Yorkshire tea in the afternoon. I would expect nothing less of you being a Yorkshire Lass. We will walk down to the concert tonight and I tell you it us a bit parky here in Bucks, I will definitely need my thermals.

Now Kitty I am a bit worried about you and your gin with your toast and marmalade . I think you need to be outside the Headmistress' Office pretty soon to explain yourself.

M&S extra strong loose tea.
Tea like wot it woz!

My favourite is Tetley decaf. My neurologist said I should drink decaf as I get bad migraines (for the past 55 years!) and have a chronic daily headache. Tea is my favourite drink, but I do like coffee too, but it has to be real coffee and not instant, which I don't like at all. I don't have coffee every day though, usually two or three times a week.

Rarely drink coffee, it's Earl grey for me too. Have found pg tips earl grey are particularly good. Also like lady Grey. Very refreshing. Nice China not too thick mug, what's not to like?

A nice strong tea, like Glengettie or Tetley. Two tea bags and a splash of milk. One sugar. In a large china cup.

Can't abide weak tea, or tea from a mug, or faffy Redbush or that one that tastes of perfume.

I'm funny about tea and will only drink it at home, made exactly to my liking.

Every time I leave the UK to come back here, I buy Fortnum and Mason ASSAM superb, I have it in the afternoon in a china mug, and its delicious, cant afford to buy many boxes, make do with TYPHOO which I drink loads of, look forward to my next UK visit. Just off for my cuppa.

Chai Tea with a splash of milk delicious

Earl grey for me too.

I love Tic Toc Redbush- a late find in a life of loving tea, lots of it, every day.

I like it best in an Emma Bridgewater mug, one of two I bought my late mother. Pricey but lovely - one's a blue tit one and the other a pied wagtail - and were practical with failing sight and didn't tip over easily.

Sometimes I have it first thing in bed with newspaper, thanks to dh, otherwise at kitchen table. I love any tea, any time, and dh has joked I'm rarely seen not carrying a mug of tea...

I like Yorkshire tea too.
I also like Twinings chocolate which not many places sell but I am not keen on other kinds now that I have found that.
I very rarely drink coffee so any instant will do.

Lady Gray, all day. Seem to have 'gone off' coffee, except for the occasional one when out meeting friends, but love my regular china mugs of Lady Gray. Even take the teabags away with me on holiday.

Yorkshire, and one day I will find a decent fine bone china mug that is what is says! Fine bone china. I am running out of shops to look in that's for sure, because tea certainly tastes best out of thin china....

I use Twinings Everyday Tea but my favourite is Lady Grey-so refreshing!

I'm not that fussy, usually Tetley or Typhoo don't like any of the 'fancy' teas and can't abide black/green tea I think its years of NHS canteen tea wot done it I drink 3/4 cups a day. Occasionally an instant of filter coffee if I can be bothered faffing around.

Cheapest teabags I can find.

Kim19 at last someone who shares my view, I can't get past the disgusting smell to get the cup to my lips to taste it. Quite agree with Ugh!!

I have not drunk tea for over 50 years. I prefer M&S instant coffee and I rarely drink anything else, certainly not in the morning.

Taylor's China Rose Petal for me, courtesy of DH before I can surface.

Yorkshire tea for me too. I agree it stains the cups and pot my uncle (an alcoholic) used to start his day with 2 cans of arger for that very reason.

Never touch the stuff. Have you seen what it does to the inside of teapots/cups.

No thanks. Have tried. Can't get past the awful aroma. Ugh! Okay, bring on the avalanche of disputers!

Morning ladies!!!

Clipper Earl Grey; loose leaf if I have the time, teabags mostly if not.

A mug of black M & S strong loose leaf tea with half spoon of sugar, love it, although it plays havoc with my teeth, I'm our hygienists best customer, for getting stains removed.

Tetley's Redbush with just a little milk & I still take sweeteners. In a fine china mug please.Always 2 before I get out of bed in the morning.
Gave up black tea once we tasted this & it is actually good for you too.

GIN kitty ? Pleased to hear the test is over and you got your cuppa, not sure about the alcohol at this time of day though

In case anyone is worried about me - I've had my tea and some toast and marmalade now!! [gin]
