Yorkshire tea is pretty nice.
We are on PG Tips at the moment though because of the free monkies :roll:
I hate Earl Grey :vom:

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.

:vom: , that and nettle are the only two I have found which I dislike. Not too keen on vanilla ones either.

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.

Anyone want the rest of the box ??

Seconded re Redbush. I had a sample sent to me in the post and tried it & thought it was vile.

Sainsbury's own 'Red Label'. for price, strength quality and flavour is one of my favourites. Their 'Gold' is even better if somewhat pricier

Personally, I think P.G. Tips has deteriorated of late !

Miles tea, alledgedly blended for the local water supply. We also were drinking redbush, but are now not sure if it was responsible for a wicked flair up of arthritis, so are keeping away for the moment

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.

scones and clotted cream would be a worthy accompaniment

I am an early grey drinker-i love the stuff and its handy seeing as normal teabags do not do my stomach any good!
Cant stand fruit and herb teas-Mum tried to get me on cammomile when i was writing my dissertation but it was gross!

Ben loves PG Tips Gold teabags-but i dont love the price tag they come with!

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.
