Tea drinkers - Which varieties do you drink?

Brian Clough · **Joined:** Thu Oct 16, 2014 3:39 pm **Posts:** 282

In my cupboard I currently have:
PG, Ceylon, Chai, Lapsang Souchong, Oolong, Assam, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Black/Green Blend and Whittard Original blend.

I love the taste of tea!

I know there are some tea drinkers on the boards here, so I was wondering what different varieties you guys enjoy and which is your favourite?

Out of mine my current favourite is Ceylon

Yorkshire Tea - I've tried Lapsang Souchong and wasn't keen. Earl Grey is ok but prefer the traditional stuff.

Lady Grey, Liptons lemon tea when I can find it. Almost any breakfast tea infused with a slice of lemon (see exclusions below).

Dislikes, any tea with regional connotations, i.e. Yorkshire tea for Yorkshire tw@ts, Scottish Tea, you get the drift.

Milk is so shite on the continent that I am constrained to drinking milkless tea.
So it's the Earl of Bergamot for me

Going back ten years or so, a friend of mine opened an English restaurant in France. She (being a Bratfud lass) had Yorkshire tea on the menu. Except the printer only misspelled it Yorkshite Tea didn't he.
It was so funny she left it like that for the reprint.

Yorkshire Tea despite the name problem. Sometimes you have to live with these things - only porridge you can get here is Quaker Oats.

Redbush tastes like ashtrays (rather, how I'd expect them to taste)

Punjana is decent

What's wrong with Yorkshire Tea's name eh? I'm a Yorkshireman.....hmmm...yeah, don't answer that.

This is so gay, what next eh, pantliners, put your hands down your trousers, if you can feel meat and 2 veg, then asking fellow chaps about fuckin tea is split arse territory :naughty:

Has anyone on here ever drunk tea from a street hawker's stand in India? You'd know it if you had.
