General Chat

I have Earl Grey. I still get comments from my offspring because I want my tea 'golden' before the milk goes in. One level spoonful of sugar. My daughter and her dad like their tea like 'sludge' and no sugar, so I have always to have two lots of tea in when they visit. .......Still not as bad as that loose tea we had to drink as children-jl

Hate tea can't bear the smell even, think it was discovering gritty tea leaves like sand at the bottom of the cup when a child, put me off for life......!!

OH drinks it from morn to eve, tea bag in cup boiling water no sugar, cover and leave to stand for 5....10 mins UGH...!!

His mugs get so stained I'm surprised he even needs a tea bag.
The only way to clean them is soaking in washing soda.

It's coffee for me :-D

Earl Grey with Lemon, In the hot weather(If we have any ) Iced, very refreshing. However I must admit to liking Filter Coffee. :-D

Always loose tea.Used to be PG, now prefer Yorkshire.

Warm the pot,freshly boiled water.Strong,no sugar.We have semi-skimmed milk because the vet said that was what the cat had to have and now I don't like full-cream in my tea.

I don't like tea-bags but do have some Oolong bags.

Beside me I have a cup of black Ceylon with some lemon in it because I found the bag in the cupboard.

I went for a piddle in the sink, but some dirty devil had emptied tea leaves in there.

I had an aunt who could tell your fortune from tea leaves - or so she claimed.

Happy days

LOL @ Harry :-D

My mums aunt used to 'read' the tea leaves. Us kids preferred the Beano.

Lol @ Harry too:)))
Glad l did'nt live in your house Harry.
Friend likes a t-bag dipped in and out and use the bag again, no sugar and black...yuk

I´m with Scozz on this ..tea is for plants or to be taken with a sick bag. Just can´t do it and I have tried lately the camomile, jasmine, mint etc nope forget it I just don´t like tea.
Give me coffee any day.

Ooh a nice weak cuppa with semi skimmed milk please :-D

lol Fiona :-D My Mum got out of the habit of "Scottish tea" many years ago. Changed to very weak tea, a drop of milk and a few grains of sugar. I called it dirty water.

She absolutedly detested my coffee.....and when she visited us, she made her own tea!

A Chinese man gave me some tea years ago, I had to force myself to drink it to be polite (losing face and all that). To my great surprise, I loved it, so refreshing on a hot & humid day. I haven't been able to find any - Chrysanthemum tea. I've tried other herbal teas, but don't like them.

I used to work in a big office, twice a day the Tea Lady rolled the trolley around. One big urn with hot water & one with tea. I waited until everybody got their tea before I went near it. Stinky!

Made in a pot not weak semi skimmed milk no sugar
had a lovley cup in bed this morning my birthday
Margaret :-D

Happy Birthday Margaret:))

l'm drinking Typhoo Decaf now, next box is Tetley Decaf, depends who's got what. Also had Kingfisher Decaf (think thats the name) from Lidls, all very nice...but prefer Clipper Organic DC...:)

jude :-D

my great granny used to read tea leaves. I was 6 when she died, I only have vague memories of her.

She didn't pass on her tea-leaf reading ability to me........ but I'm sure I have some of her other "skills".

I wonder if I could see anything in coffee grounds? Arrrgh, I couldn't stand drinking coffee with grit in it. Barrrrrrrrf.

very strong an sweet,,,,,,yorkshire teabag for me.
