Question for the tea drinkers in the UK
-
I am discriminating here, forgive me...or not. What is your favorite tea, and why? Must provide internet link. I am trying to drink less coffee throughout the day, thus replacing it with tea. I like the Irish Breakfast blends, by Twinings, I believe, and Typhoo, with added lemon.

I am answering here but am not an English, forgive me... or not. I drink tea, for it being tea. I prefer chocolate flavored tea that I brought from my visit to India! If you are seeking flavor in tea, then don't. Stick to coffee. I drink tea, 5 mugs a day, and I don't have to expect a flavor. :) Tea does its job, without it too. ;)
The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~

:confused: I seek flavor in coffee, as well. I will always seek flavor in what I drink. I think I will pass on the chocolate flavored anything. Thanks. :)

Not the genuine way to drink tea in England! Any kind of fruit additive, e.g. Raspberry Tea, is an abomination to a true, traditional, English tea drinker. However, these things are more tolerated in today's "modern" society so it's up to you. A good hot tea served with milk and a biscuit (US: cookie) is a great way to feel refreshed and ready to face the rest of the day. "Typhoo" is good, "Yorkshire" or "Tetleys" are also quite good. "Twinings" is good but usually overpriced; a bit like a BMW - it's good but not always worth the premium price brought on by the overly fashion-conscious advertising media. A good blend of Assam and Darjeeling is what you are looking for and most of the previously mentioned brands have that. DO NOT go for the stuff in the bright yellow box ("Liptons") that most Americans seem to think is normal but is actually cr@p.

Not in the UK, but... growing up in Canada, we drank Salada (Orange Pekoe) or Red Rose; a search will find either... My mother (of English decent), drank it with milk and sugar; I prefer my tea black.

That's called "Hot Chocolate" and the tea is irrelevant as the chocolate flavour is overwhelming. :|

The above is why you have no idea about flavours in tea. ;P

Hot chocolate[^] and tea[^] are completely different drinks. Unless, of course, you believe in miracles[^]. :rolleyes:

I saw "Hot Chocolate" live in Manchester many, many years ago. One of the few pop concerts I was persuaded to go to that I actually enjoyed!

Chocolate flavoured hot chocolate (with perhaps a little bit of brandy) is just the thing after a day out in the cold!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I generally just skip the tea, and stick with the milk and cookies. :laugh:

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I thought it was mandatory for geeks to drink Earl Grey. :) Personally I do not like it.

I would recommend Yorkshire Tea [^], despite being from Lincolnshire.

Absolutely. I keep telling my shelf to make some, hot of course. Up to now nothing has happened.

Maybe your shelf is mad at you, they can be temperamental those shelves.
