I love tea so much. I was thinking of making some and thought I'd find out what teas you all like.
 
Me too! [emoji7] I have the PG Tips Strawberry Cupcake flavoured green tea at the moment [emoji4] yum

English Breakfast tea religiously every morning....I can't function without a cuppa first thing.

Later in the day though, I tend to stick to red berry fruit tea combinations.
 
Ginger, fennel and peppermint [emoji173]️
 
Normal pg tips for me , need at least two in the morning before I even feel human [emoji5]️

I need to get some berry tea.
 
I love yorkshire tea, quite strong, milk and no sugar. It's pretty much what I drink all the time.

I saw the strawberry cupcake tea yesterday and almost bought it until I saw that it was green tea! :(

I have some taylors of harrowgate sour cherry tea (the kew gardens ones) and they're really nice. Also love twinnings apple and cinnamon tea.
 
Another Yorkshire Tea fan here - @linzi I drink it exactly the same as you. There is our way, and then there is the wrong way :p As an aside, YT recently advertised a vacancy for a trainee tea taster, which is basically travelling around the world and drinking nice tea. Sounds like my idea of heaven :D

When I fancy something a bit lighter, it's spearmint tea all the way for me. Tea bags are quite hard to come by, so it tends to be loose leaf - lah-di-dah!

I remember doing work experience at college and the salon owner took 5 1/2 - that's FIVE (and a half) (!) - sugars in her cuppa. Surely it doesn't get any sweeter after the first few?! Haha. Perhaps we could jobshare? :D

I quite like spearmint, but prefer peppermint.

Yikes, I bet all of her teeth have fallen out by now!

@Noodle's 'yikes' sums it up perfectly! After so many sugars, she can't have tasted anything other than hot sweet liquid - she might as well have been drinking heated up calpol :eek:
 
Yes, I would be quite astonished if she still had a full set of gnashers!

Oh yuck, I can't even give my daughter liquid calpol if she's ill, it makes me dry heave!
 
Twinnings English breakfast tea for me. I don't like fruit teas. I find they smell beautiful and then taste like nats pee :) if they tasted like they smelt they would be amazing!

I also have 2-3 sugars in my tea depending if I've had a chance to eat anything that day when I'm working.

I agree with you 100% on the fruit tea thing !!! They smell so nice but eeew
 
Another vote for Yorkshire Tea here!
 
I'm guilty of putting lots of sugar in my tea when I was younger [emoji15] maybe three or four spoons?! Now it's just two, strong breakfast tea, and recent research (eg boyfriend wanted us to have whole milk now we have our own place) proved that for me it's semi skimmed or nowt! I do like a mint tea though, but another one who agrees about fruit teas!! X
 
I love normal tea but have been trying twining a green teas, I love the apple & pear one and also the peach & cherry blossom one

I do half a tea spoon of brown sugar.
 
Darjeeling Tea, anyday!
 
My faves are Twinings Assam tea, so strong tasting if I have any other breakfast teas I need 2 teabags to get the same taste! And Pukka teas, the matcha green tea is so good [emoji14]
