Thread: Tea anyone ??!!

if you want proper tea then get some Yorkshire tea
the correct way
put one bag per person into a pre heated pot + one for the pot,pour on boiling water this is important it has to be boiling not just hot,stir and leave for a minute,pour into cups and then add milk/sugar.

or my way put two bags into a pint mug,pour on boiling water and stir,leave for a minute add some milk but leave the teabags in and drink.

saying that i am a hopeless tea junkie,i cannot function with out it,i drink between 6/10 pints a day
ive been stateside three times and brought my own tea bags the first two times lol

In my last order from Dragon Tea House they threw in a sample of milk oolong. My daughter came by today and we decided to give it a try. I don't really know how to explain the taste of the tea, but it was awesome. I'm very new at this tea thing, but that one is going to be in my next order. The tea itself was neat, the leaves were rolled into little balls, about the size of an uncooked pea. Maybe it was just the power of suggestion, but it smelled like sweet, raw milk to me. There was really no information on the sample, just a vacuum sealed little bag with a printed label, Taiwan Milk Oolong.

Now that I think I have my RAD and PAD and TobaccoAD kinda in check for now, I can justify a tea order! I've always heard that one never gets rid of an addiction, they just trade it for another, so, all I need to do is rotate them in a manner such that it doesn't seem too bad in any one area!!

Gents is there a readily available quality black tea stateside that isnt quite as fruity as Earl Grey? I seem to enjoy a nice strong cup of lipton over earl grey of better quality. Something a bit more straight good strong tea and less fruit oils. I'm open to any suggestions. Please if I've said something ignorant correct me and cure my ignorance.
