National Tea Day ☕

Breanna — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 14:29:48 GMT

Hello!

It's National Tea Day (not International, just National)

I had a real think about it and thought I might just be a pest and show you guys boiling some water in the microwave for my tea, but I wouldn't do that to you...I probably would, but still, I promise I don't do that at home 🤣

You see, where I'm from tea is cold and sweet. When I moved up north to Illinois, we went to Pizza Hut and asked for tea. They brought it over and I was absolutely horrified that it didn't contain any sugar. I thought adding sugar was part of the process! And thus began my tea-ducation. Lo and behold, ice isn't a necessary step either.

It's been quite fun trying all the different teas since moving here, but I've settled on PG tips and now buy the industrial size boxes so I never have to go out.

Think I'll have a break for an E3 with a little sugar. How about you?

Only Yorkshire Tea will do for me, and I'm from Lancashire!

Milk, no sugar.

Have you tried these @Enlli? Not sure what I think about them.

Saw them but decided to give them a miss.

Tea and biscuits is best when you simply dunk digestive biscuits

Hot,strong and sweet (B6) for me,

In summer if I want iced tea, I drink this.

Why not push the boat out and go for a D4 or an F2? They are on the same diagonal so should be indistinguishable from an E3 🤣

Oh, this might make you move up or down a strength 😉

Tetley`s tea bag in a mug. Add hot water. No milk. No sugar. So strong black tea.

Whether I meet @pgn `s description for drinker of No 1 Black tea, I`ll leave for others to decide 😂

I'm one of those people who can't stand coffee so it's always tea for me. Couldn't drink it without milk

@Mi-Amigo . Always have 2 teabags in a mug (lol) 3 sweeteners and a dash of milk. Oh and two years ago I had to cut down on caffeine so my teabags are decaffeinated.

Strangely, decaff coffee can be nice too:

D3 is a good colour. Yorkshire decaff tea for me. Yorkshire Red label for preference and visitors. No coffee for me at home, but Nescafe Gold blend for visitors. A nice one shot latte when I am out & about. Tea as it comes when I am out and about xx

Love the idea of "tea as it comes" when out and about @RunrigForever

Good evening @Breanna

I read your reply earlier in the day off my phone

Have you tried Rington's tea ... & ... Lyons tea ?

Had Rington's tea van visit when I lived in York a good 30 year-sish ago xx

I'll be honest @RunrigForever, I haven't tried many. I liked the PG tips box and that's the one I went with from the first. I think I got a box of Tetley's once and was just drinking it to get it over with as fast as possible! I've not tried Rington's or Lyons but I shall have to give them a try for science.
