I drink unadulterated tea from China. Mostly Sheng puerh and Wuyi oolongs
Anybody tried Lady Grey? My mum switched to that for a while. I liked (not loved) it. Daily though it is strong black all the way. Double Espresso to kick-start the day, then black tea for he most part for maintenance. Addictive personality? Who? Me? LOL
Actually I don’t have any Earl Grey tea bags. I was just trying to get a rise out of Xander :o)
Lady Grey is alright I do drink it once and a while, its a lighter tea with more citrus flavour then Earl Grey
Both of my sibling are mix drinkers (coffee & tea), while me myself am mostly just a teabug. I bought a Twinings Classic tea pack one day: Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast Tea, English Afternoon Tea, Prince of Wales. The packet was empty the next day. Having some Earl Grey right now. Not the best tea out there, but a nice staple in my cabinet.
Am I the only Yorkshire Red drinker on the forum. Come on Yorkshire and Cumbria !
@ BradMajors: I know. You were trolling. I’m not biting.
Teabags are evil. I don’t know how they ended up being standard in cafes, whenever I’m out and tempted to go for a cup of tea I often think “why bother, I could just go home and have a nice cup instead”. The best Earl Grey I have had is a Taylors one, I get mine from Bettys, I can’t remember if it is a Bettys blend or a normal Taylors one. When they open the jar you are hit in the face with this really strong, amazing spicy fragrance. For anyone up North, Booths do a good Earl Grey for a very good price. The other Booths tea is good as well and is my usual, although just for Nachman, I do drink Yorkshire Tea when i can’t be arsed to go to Booths!
I like the Twining’s Earl Grey. But I like their tea’s in general the Irish Breakfast Tea is quite nice. Though I’ve been experimenting with other teas. I really like Darjeeling.
Darjeeling is actualy my least favorite tea. I think it does tend to be quality but for some reason I prefer tea from china and japan the most. I think darjeeling reminds me too much liptons. When I drink darjeeling I always feel like I’am drinking liptons from some alternate universe where it’s a high quality tea. That is too say good tea but I can think of so many more I like a lot better.
I’d like to try a lot more teas. That Yorkshire red sounds good. I’m still experimenting. lol
I like about all teas, but not being an afficianado, just basic Lipton tea bag with some sweetner is good to me.
Having some Twinings Irish Breakfast myself. The local store began stocking English breakfast and Earl Grey in loose leaf varieties, and I intend to try some quite soon. Love the Earl Grey, hell all tea for that matter.
I like pretty much all teas, but I haven’t been drinking them much this summer, unless it’s iced. I know some folks over the pond consider that an abomination. lol I made some sun tea on Sunday, with some good ol’ Lipton, it was just what the doctor ordered. Green tea is my staple, but I love em all, black, orange, green. Earl Grey is a treat. It goes with SP snuffs well, ya think? I rarely add sugar and cream, but it’s nice once in a while, but I never add them to EG. Typically, we avoid tea bags, but they slip in the basket somehow on occasion. I much prefer loose tea. I found this brand, Hyson, they give you a lot more for your money, than say, Twinnings. I have not gone the gourmet route yet, but the custom green tea market is fascinating. I like looking at the pictures of tea “buds”. Reminds me of the old days, reading High Times. lol
I usually take my tea with milk, but highly sweetened earl grey (and snuff!) helped me quit smoking. Yum!
earl grey is one of the few teas I always add sweetner too.
Honey and milk is what I like it with
Earl Grey is an awesome tea if you want a black tea. I don’t drink much tea, more of a coffee guy, but when I see earl grey my eyes light up Just honey or honey and cream for me.
Like the majority of people here, iam a coffee drinker , but i enjoy a cup of Black Tea or Yerba Mate now and then. never had Earl Grey or English Breakefest, just straigth black tea and hot Yerna Mate with sugar
I thought Brazillians were breastfed on coffee.
