Tea... an important issue

I know I should like Yorkshire Tea, but let's face it, there's fuck all from Yorkshire in a box of tea bags. It's like having Bristol's finest oranges, or Lincolnshire's purest gene pool.
I like Twining's Everyday, but I'm on pints of Sainsbury's red label at the mo, cos there's an offer on so my wife bought me two boxes. Fair do's.
No milk, one shug.

i like yorkshire tea. and tetley tea. i miss the tetley men. and brian whasshisface. from kes.

i don't like lipton.

i do like sainsburys gold label.

Not so keen on Tetley's, although Brian Glover was THE man - one of my all time heroes. Kes is such a good film. Filmed just down t'road from here...

yorkshire FTW

The best teabag I've found for nice and strong but not tasting stewed is Sainsburys Kenyan

Strong, bright flavour but no metallic backnotes

If you're talking counties, then yes.
If you're talking teas, then no.

hahaha When I say Herbal, you say no thanks

Too right! Herbal tea tastes of dishwater.

Assam tea is pretty strong in general.

Assam all the way. You can stick Earl Grey wherever you like - it's dishwater by comparison to Assam.

If you're talking counties, then yes.
If you're talking teas, then no.

teas, counties, and puddings

basically everything that matters

Having a Assam right now - Lush!

Yorkshire Tea, great day to day proper cuppa tea (in my opinion)

aye! I got given a box of this as a friend didnt like it, its like Special Brew! magic!

I have to agree that I enjoy tea more that coffee, the latter sends me schizo...

normal builders tea thats fair trade (brand irrelevent) though when you get down to the 'flavours' then Lapsang is nice for a bit of woody flavour, earl for bergamot loveliness, and lady for every day, assam...they are all great.
When I used to visit Gothemburg (swedish ex) there was an amazing tea shoppe there that sold a myriad of flavours...from the traditional to the really exotic...I truly mean it...
Rhubarb tea and custard tea(!!??), which I have to say was a joy, mixing them up at home to make the obvious. The shop was in the old town at the bottom where all the furniture and knick knack shops were, so so pretty, It's such an amazing city.

for amazing tea in the uk these people are hard to beat, http://www.greysteas.co.uk/ though going into a little picket wood shoppe and being able to see them weighed and smelled and returning home with your booty, was such a trip.

I'm going to drink a lot of tea today. I'm ridiculously, stinkingly hungover and i don't think my stomach can errr stomach coffee.

I'd like to put in a vote for finest broken orange pekoe fannings but i think we've only got tetley in the kitchen. Yorkshire at home I believe. I'm nowhere near as fussy about tea as I am about coffee for some reason. It's a bit like sex really. Or pizza. As in, even when it's not that great it's still good. And certainly better than not having any.

Just seen mooks tea ball springer thingy! I have one of those too. very good.

I know I should like Yorkshire Tea, but let's face it, there's fuck all from Yorkshire

Well, exactly.

Yeah I'm from Leeds

You poor Sod.

just started drinking Whittards russian caravan tea one of the nicest strong teas i have tasted.

Set of twats. All of you. I'm from Leeds too.
That's all I have to say about that...

Well, exactly.

What's Peter Sutcliffe then?
Chopped liver?

Yorkshire Tea Gold, chap.

Taylors Earl Grey is very nice too when I feel like something different from the normal Yorkshire tea.

TeaSmith, Spitalfields. Fancy pants tea at its finest.

I've tried a fair few of theirs and only liked a couple, cant remember which flavours though.
