    Default Tea

    In direct response to the Coffee thread, I'm giving us tea junkies a place to discuss our favourite blends and combinations.

    How to do you like your tea?

    Me, it's very simple.

    -The best Twinings Earl Grey
    -Teaspoon of Sugar
    -Dash of Lemon (tried it on the suggestion of Malcolm, and it's wonderful, really improves taste.)
    -China Cup
    -Tea biscuit or two (must accessorize, you know)

    Strong brewed, pure, sweet tea. The nectar of the gods...


    (Note: This is not a place to discuss coffee vs. tea, nor a place to discuss ice tea. Ice tea I consider a seperate beverage.)

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    M-milk? How much?

    Yeah, I drink several cups a day myself, usually earl gray, but I experiment with many other types as well, both in bags and loose weight.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Who cares? Grab a bag regardless of what brand it is, chuck in the mug drown in boiling water, dash it with milk, add 3 sugars for good measure, and then throw it down my neck.

    Usually, about four cups a day, unless I"m home all day, then it becomes countless.

    Right now I'm drinking some demented "Breathe Easy" herbal blend because it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm not. Breathing easy that is. Bloody allergies.

    Taste like thyme and mint or something. Not too bad.

    Ah, Assam tea from my local tea and coffee merchant, with milk and a little sugar first thing in the morning. And second thing. And for elevenses. And at lunch. And at Afternoon tea. And High tea. And just after dinner. And with supper.

    My dear mother purchased a nice vessel of Earl Grey in her recent trip to London, but I've finished all the lemon and there is no decent honey in Tesco's...

    Brand? Anything I get cheapest from the local cornershop. Those fancy teas I'll give a try if I happen to win the lottery.
