RE: The Great British Cup of Tea — WeAreAliveAndSocial

Hahaha - you actually wrote a post about tea - that's brilliant! You got a nice selection of teas, ours might be even bigger.

I like both coffee and tea, there's a time for each of them. These days I always have a cup of coffee in the morning (or two) but during the day it is tea or water.

My time in Australia made me an 'English tea drinker' i.e. black tea with milk (and sugar), at the time and some years after I didn't touch coffee at all. To this day I love drinking black tea this way. Usually, it will be English Breakfast tea or Earl Grey. I haven't opted for Darjeeling in a while.

When I drink tea during the day or evening it'll be green tea, herbal or Rooibus tea. No milk in those, potentially sugar.

I have a few more medicinal, but I also prefer some nice tea in the afternoons or evening rather than in the mornings. I am not so much putting sugar in tea but often lemon and honey.

My post is inspired by getting my new tea pot for some tea leaves that I bought and I was thinking about tea.

Thats pretty cool you drank English tea in Oz, I was never in Oz, but I know many Poms who moved out there and took their habits with them. Usually it is a rite of passage to do 1 or 2 years Down Under. After dating women from countries where they dont drink milk in their tea, I lost my taste for milk in my tea. Which made drinking tea in India difficult as its the most milkiest tea I have ever drunk there!

I am mostly liking Ginger tea at the moment, but some Melissa tea is also nice, now and again. I am getting some feeling back for herbs and herbal medicines again, so might buy some different teas of these too.
