The Tesco Premium teabag is the one we have at home, I drink gallons.
However "all the above" as written by Ben
At work - PG Tips
(the other day my boss was on the phone and I asked him if he wanted PGTips -monkey impression- or Earl Grey -finger under the nose for "smelly tea")
My tea basket at home currently contains Chai (also keep a box at work), Pukka Detox (aniseed, fennel and licorice), Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time, Lemon and Ginger, Cranberry Rasberry and Elderflower, Pure Camomile.
Jude introduced me to some others which I have found since returning home.
I am a bit of a tea tart as you can see.
Variety being the spice of life.

I tried that a while back - I had such dreadful nightmares after drinking it that I kept waking up! Stopped drinking it and the nightmares disappeared.englishangel wrote:The Tesco Premium teabag is the one we have at home, I drink gallons.

I'm afraid we love Earl Grey in our household, and I'm also partial to a bit of peppermint. If possible I like it in a bone china cup (mug is fine!) with milk in second, but I can't bear builders' strength tea. Sunday afternoon always puts me in mind of a 'proper' tea, large teapot on the go with diddy sandwiches and tons of cake. Was going to do some baking after lunch today, but went to put daughter number 2 down for a nap and fell asleep also.

Now I think one shouldn't muddy the water with scones in a proper high tea. They are well capable of standing on their own, not camouflaged amongst a plate of madeleines, millionaires shortbread, butterfly cakes and lemony-drizzly bits (all of which are superbly delectable and delumptious). The answer, therefore, is to have two teas. Then dinner.ben ashton wrote:scones and clotted cream would be a worthy accompaniment
