Tea

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

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.)

I remember the time I had seven teabags piled into half a cup of water.

Plain oolong, no extras. Tieguanyin if I'm feeling particularly hardcore, one third leaves two-thirds water.

Sorry mate this is a tea thread.

[Justiciar]

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.

Earl Grey.. bah!
