A nation of tea drinkers ?

10 Nov 2009

Hi,

I just wanted to know if we are still a nation of tea drinker. I know I love my tea, and I have cups and cups of it a day smile

10 Nov 2009

I drink at least 4 mugs of black unsweetened coffee every day (today I'm slowing down because my kettle's packed up and I'm having to use a flippin' saucepan). I like tea, but not the way I seem to make it. If I drink it I have to have a drop of milk (but please not full-cream) and half a spoonful of sugar. I also prefer it made in a great big pot a la trucker's caff. If it were as easy as black coffee, I'd probably switch allegiance. Or at least alternate.

Either rather than both as a preference.
Coffee - espresso noir no sugar
Tea - no sugar or milk "like wot miners drink"

Has to be coffee...can't even bear the smell of tea

10 Nov 2009

I like both biggrin

Coffee - black, no sugar, no too strong but has to be good quality coffee, none of this Nescafe rubbish. I can't drink more than 3 cups a day as it upsets my stomach.
Tea - milk, no sugar, organic unbleached tea bags in my favourite china mug coffee

I also drink a lot of what I call 'hippy teas' - peppermint, lemon, green tea, etc etc - but with a 1/4 spoon of sugar just to help bring the flavour out :D

Tea Co-Op 99 loose leaf tea made in a pot like tea should be and drunk from a pint mug (I'm soooooo working class)

10 Nov 2009

I drink mostly coffee but every now and again I really enjoy a cup of tea. Yorkshire Tea is my favourite.

10 Nov 2009

Mun-keh tea for me please, in a big mug with a couple of biscuits to dunk in :lickface:

10 Nov 2009

Cooooooooooooooffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! lol

Although I have cut down recently, as I'd realised that I was drinking roughly 10 cups a day! :shock: I'm down to maybe one a day now. I rarely drink tea, to the point that besides the cup (mistakenly) given me when visiting a relative, I haven't drunk any tea for about 10 - 15 years....

10 Nov 2009

Tea for me.
If I drink coffee I get a headache and the shits! :twisted:

12 Nov 2009

Well my faith in the british has been restored. We still seem to be a nation of tea drinkers smile

12 Nov 2009

I don't drink either..... if it is a soothing drink you I am drinking, then I am partial to a hot chocolate... yummy.....

12 Nov 2009

I like tea.
I like rough as the roads kenyan loose leaf tee brewed in a vacuum sealed caffetiere and left to stew until its almost sticky.
I like redbush tea in the evenings so that I can maintain my sleep pattern.
I like lady grey tea with the slightest hint of milk.
No sugar for me and be careful with the cow juice.

12 Nov 2009
