Soloman Tump Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 ^ Barry's is tasty. At work I drink PG Tips because that is what I'm used to. Straight up English Breakfast tea for me usually, splash of milk to give it colour, no sugar. None of this floral / fruity / herbal nonsense. *edit*These guys sell a tasty blend, you can probably buy the same stuff cheaper in bulk elsewhere, but I've never managed to find the same taste so I stick with visiting their shop once a year and buying some http://www.tisanes-tearooms.co.uk/product/english-breakfast/ *double edit* Whilst at their site, the Chinese Caravan Tea is also an excellent brew. http://www.tisanes-tearooms.co.uk/product/china-caravan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bechuga Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Whatever is cheapest but isn't no frills. Currently that one Stephen Fry used to advertise (because on sale). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublename Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 In the cupboard at home: For work I usually get Stash tea bags, since the only other practical option is using the Keurig. Edit - Also a fiend for a good lapsang, but they're usually kinda pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Tea thread from not too long ago: https://forum.watmm.com/topic/61852-diggin-on-tea/ I don't even remember if I ever posted in there. I drink lots of green tea, store brand bags at the office and gunpowder leaves at home. Like white too but it's not so common here. And I appreciate black, earl grey etc. but don't buy it for myself. The Twinings rosehip/hibiscus infusion is more than decent, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lada Laika Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Used to be super into Earl Grey but I've been on a caffeine free Orange Spice kick lately, since I drink so much coffee. Feeling a mint craving coming on soon though. And yeah I just go cheapest sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricone RC Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Tea thread from not too long ago: https://forum.watmm.com/topic/61852-diggin-on-tea/ goddamn, why didn't that come up in my search. I even posted in it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I mostly drink Chinese gunpowder tea. Usually one pot for breakfast, then maybe some more at work. It's simple, strong and relatively cheap. I get it from the Asian foodstores. Similar teas in specialty or health food stores are about twice as expensive. I also sometimes drink Russian black tea with milk or chai if I'm in a mood for something milder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 PHILOSOPHER'S BREW HERBAL TEA lemongrass, citrus peel, rosehips, lavender blossoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NI64 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Earl Grey white tip in the morning, then some form of green in the afternoon, right now have both gunpowder and precious eyebrows. Usually add a touch of orange peel, lemon peel, or spearmint for flavor. I feel lucky because Minneapolis has a nice local herb shop next to the U of M campus. Stocks the exact same tea that TeaSource does but for like a fourth of the price. Got some jasmine phoenix pearls there the other week for like $2/oz.

Used to drink Sea Dyke brand Year before last I switched to Clipper and just before christmas I bought a big box of these kirkland ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricone RC Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Probably a good idea to drink this before the Trumpocalypse, lest I get Guantanamo'd for the Arabic (with a splash o' milk of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Pu-erh Tea - is a variety of fermented tea produced in Yunnan province, China. Fermentation in the context of tea production involves microbial fermentation and oxidation of the tea leaves, after they have been dried and rolled. Very satisfying tea. I carry bags on my person just in case. Good for you. https://www.nakedmetea.com/6-reasons-to-drink-pu-erh-tea/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 and just before christmas I bought a big box of these kirkland ones This is my go-to green tea. (this is the one with the extra matcha in the pouch right?) Nice flavour, cost effective. Today I'm having some lapsang souchong star black tea. It's a smoked black tea. Apparently the leaves are dried and smoked over pinewood. Sounds weird but it's really delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumplings Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 ^Lapsang is perfect for the cold winter nights, especially if you have a nice fire going on in the hearth. Haven't had any in my cupboard for ages, maybe a little weekend treat is in store. I normally have the Clipper green tea & lemon for breakfast and then drink a nice Yorkshire brew for the evenings: Best supermarket branded tea around. It puts paid to anything twinings.
