sbcmfc Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Boy's spot on, like a tea myself! Like a sugar in mine, just one, even a half will do, my mother in law must have massive tea spoons, hers taste like builders tea! Wife and mum like redbush, but just tastes funky to me. I like normal tea, don't mind the caffeine free, and not a tea bag snob, just none of the fancy shite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I make my tea like the guy in the video as well. So glad to see he's spot on. Although maybe a wee bit too much milk i'd say. I have Scottish blend atm i think. Any tea i can handle, stronger the better. Tried green tea and it was alright (no milk) Also when i'm cosying up to read stuff i'll enjoy i always get a big cup of tea ready first then start.

Stapes Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm a complete tea snob Love the stuff, but don't drink more than a couple of cups a day - I'm getting old and too much caffeine gives me jumpy legs. Bloke has some things wrong, or at least fails to mention them: Don't put it in a black cup - not sure why but I don't like it. Cup should be white, or at the least light coloured. Don't buy any old p!sh tea bags. Get mine delivered by Ringtons. Open out a Rington teabag and common garden teabag and you'll see the difference. Everyone I give a cup to can taste the difference. And they're not that much more expensive. If you need your cuppa quickly pour the water from a height, it cools significantly from spout to cup I'm sure I once had a life.

ErsatzThistle Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Not into tea. It's always been an oldies drink for me. However, I'm well aware that a day shall come when my skin shall wrinkle, my back will creak, my hair will turn grey and I will be unable to get an erection anymore. Then, I will have some tea.

Kirk Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Love tea and my dad has taught me well, my mum is hopeless at making good tea. Scottish Blend is the favourite, when i was in Canada I got a couple of boxes worth sent over. Used to take 2 or 3 sugars which i know is awful, use sweeteners now and just 1 or 2 depending on the brand. The video is nae bad and hes right about folk who put the milk in first, just wrong. He has too much milk in his though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnet Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Tescos own in the tartan box or asdas chosen by you range are the best of the cheap ones. Twinnings Ceylon or English breakfast are particular favourites of mine. Black tea in a China cup ?? Coffee is the devils sperm !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If you put sugar in tea or coffee then you don't actually like tea or coffee, you just like sugar. Go and have a juice and sit at the children's table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Nothing beats a good cup of tea*. For everyday teabags I tend to just get some African fair trade stuff, but also got some decent loose leaf tea for a pot on a weekend morning. * - OK, apart from a good blowie Edited November 2, 2015 by biffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Rarely drink cooncil tea these days. Have a couple of cups of green tea a day though. I got a taste for the non milky stuff in Japan a few years back. It's got to be Twinings though, other brands tend to be far too wattery...

Go and have a juice and sit at the children's table I think if you take more than 2 sugars that's true, I've a friend that takes 6+ sugars, I don't see the point, as you say above, just have a can of coke or a kids milkshake! I think one is ok, basically because I have one. If I'm making it myself, I'll not even have a full one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chico Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Strong, black tea during the day with a dash of milk and usually a cup of green tea at night. Always a white cup/mug. Occasionally have sugary tea after a training ride, but once a month, over the winter at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
