Ok we have had biscuits so now we have to have tea, afterall you cant have biscuits without tea can you!
My favourite tea was always yorkshire tea but have recently gone onto Clipper fairtrade and it is one of the best teas I have ever had. I used to love a tea called NAFFI tea but cant seem to get it anywhere now.
So whats your favourite tea?

Dilmah is good.
My favourite is Twining's Earl Grey. (Tried a cheaper one recently...Somerfield's own....unrecognisable as Earl Grey!)
Twining's Lapsang Souchong was a favourite until someone told me it smelled like the liniment vets use on horses' legs!! Kind of off-putting!

Rooibos: low tanines, no caffeine. Great taste and excelent for colicy tummy's, even in tots.

Twinnings Green Tea Blend - is simply the best - but you need to stock up when you are in Inverness as it is no longer available up here, that I can find

I like those Tetleys ones with the double string, that don't drip tea on my foot when I make a cup at work!

Twinnings Earl Grey and Yorkshire for me. But I do like my tea with a slice of lemon in it once in a while with plenty of sugar. Can't stand lapsang souchong, it is vile. Tetley is ok, as is PG Tips (Hey Mr Shifter, Do you know the piano is on my foot? :p ).

I have heard that Green leaf tea is very good because of its cancer preventing properties.

Of course the best cup of tea is by someone else who just knows how you like it.:o)

Tetleys, twinings earl grey, green tea, peppermint tea (from Lidl), and nettle tea (an aquired taste - can make you shudder on the first mouthful!!!). Also like Twinings Lady Grey tea - like earl grey but with a citrus flavour. Lovely!

I always use Twinings Earl Grey (shop brands of Earl Grey just don't match up) I keep Yorkshire tea to serve to visitors who don't like Earl Grey.

Whittards of Chelsea have some fine tea's - it's amazing how large the tea leaves are on the good tea's - once brewed they can be huge and block the spout of the teapot!

Off now for my morning cup of coffee! :)

Scottish blend gives me a good kick, also like Yorkshire Gold. Murchies of BC Canada makes a No. 22 Blend, i think it has lapsang souchong, jasmine and a good black tea in it. yummy and fragrant!
In the evenings, my scottish granny used to drink something she called "cambridge tea", it was hot water with a splash of milk.

I couldn't find Yorkshire or nambarrie to try them. However, today they had some Twinings Lady Grey (often difficult to find here), so that came home as I quite enjoy it too.

And you likely won't find great tea in the States. That Boston incident has left a long lasting impression. I have to load up my suitcase when I go to visit in Orlando. I often wonder if my friends are happier to see me or the tea I bring with me.
