To all you tea Jennys/Jons out there

Earl Grey or Normal??

How do you take it?

Biscuits/cake? Can you drink tea without something? (I can't).

Do you think it tastes better out of a kettle or pot??

I'm not a coffee person but can have about 3 cups a year...

Just interested

I love a good cuppa, not earl grey though I like good strong builders tea without the sugar.
I get through around 10 cups a day and have a pint mug at home

I work for the railway so I have to drink tea all the time. Its traditional.

I dont need to eat anything with it, in fact its better not to as it distorts the taste of the tea.

I have drank Tetley tea since I was small. But have just discovered Yorkshire Tea which is delicious....bt sometime leaves me feeling dry. So im alternating between the two.

1 sugar + Marvel milk (Thank my mum for that acquired taste)

Earl Grey tasts like attic dust to me. Maybe im too working class to enjoy it!

I make it from a kettle except for 4pm tea which is a pot. Sometimes I will have biscuits at that time.

Sorry, Im a bit of a tea fanatic!

Tea - about 8 big cups a day, Twinings Everyday, very strong with lots of milk, 2 sugars, yum yum! Made in the cup, not got a big enough pot for our household!

Special occasions call for Twinings 1706 - 'strong, traditional tasting tea' - we keep it in the cupboard for when you really need a treat!

I love my tea, and I was recently voted best tea maker on my team at work, I take pride in making a fantastic cuppa!

Strong tea, milk and no sugar. I'm too lazy so it's straight from the kettle. The teapot is just something else to wash up otherwise.

Can drink it on it's own, but if you are offering cake and bics I wouldn't so no.

Assam for breakfast (though generally drink more coffee these days) with a sweetener and a splash of skimmed milk.

Lapsang souchon in the afternoon with a sweetener and no milk.

Never drink anything with caffeine in it after 7pm or I can't sleep.

Normal. Preferably Typhoo, but I am slowly working my way through a 400+ bag of PG Tips, so they'll have to do for now.

Strong, milk and 2 sugars. I can't stand weak tea...what's the point? Then again, I don't like it SO strong with hardly any milk, there is a nice balance!

I tend to drink it on its own. Where I used to work we nearly always had biscuits though.

I haven't had much tea from a pot, so i'll go with a kettle. I do like the look of teapots, but it would only be for me and the small ones only seem to hold 1.5 cups, so there isn't really any point.

I have to drink tea within 5-10 minutes of it being made or otherwise it seems cold to me, I love drinking it when it's 'red hot'.

I don't drink a lot of coffee either, probably less than 10 cups a year.

White tea or PG depending on mood. In the winter, I have jasmine or rooibos.

The best supermarket level tea there is. Can't drink anything else now.

Green tea, no milk no sugar. About 10 cups a day - decaff in the evening.

Black tea - never. Vile stuff.

Coffee - about twice a year!

Tea: A robust Assam with milk but drinking more green tea recently - couldn't even imagine putting milk in that.

Coffee: Not really a connoisseur but black unless it's really cheap stuff.

Never use sugar. I don't even have any in the house so visitors have to go without too.
