Just wondered what's your favorite Brand of tea?

Also do you use, Teabags or loose leaves?

Only drink coffee myself, but am starting to fancy a change..

My hubby likes twinnings every day teabags, but as they are quite expensive I only buy them for him when they are on offer (like at the moment they are half price in Sainsburys), usually we have PG tips pyramid teabags

I like both tea and coffee

Tetley tea bags.
"It’s those little perforations that make all the difference"

My mother always bought Ty-Phoo tea.
Bless her memory. In my mind I can still hear her call, "Yoo-hoo, Typhoo!" when she made a pot of tea.

i love tea

I love strong flavoured tea, not stewed, but ones like Assam and English Breakfast.

I am usually a strong freshly ground coffee drinker, but since I got pregnant I have gone off it and have switched to tea.
Twinings and Marks and Spencers extra strong get my vote.

Day-to-day I drink Yorkshire Tea or whatever is on offer when we need more teabags. And now that I am pregnant I have been drinking a lot more herbal teas (ginger and peppermint mainly) in an effort to combat morning sickness and other symptoms.

But I went for tea at Liberty's with my cousin last week and had the most fabulous rose tea. Absolutely heavenly (although at £3.50 a pot, not an everyday sort of tea).

I'm defy getting more and more interested in tea,..
going into town later and will come back armed with loads of diff ones

Have already got myself a really sweet cup and saucer with tiny dots (like dots)

my husband and son (who never notice any diff whatever teas i buy them) can drink any I don't like,..

mmm seems like all teabags then?

♣ Moya, love the story of your dear Mum and her Yoo-hoo, Typhoo!" awww bless!

Used to have teabags with Earl Grey tea leaves for added flavour. Now its just Tetley!

The think the cup really does make a difference.
I've got an odd assortment of porcelain cups/ mugs and like drinking out of them.
Hate the thick pottery mugs. I feel like I'm lifting a bucket.

I agree about the cup making all the difference too, I have 3 that I will use for my tea and tea in any other cups doesn't taste right and I end up leaving half a cup

Last year, I was hooked on fruit teas but not anymore, they smell nicer than they taste

Assam is my favourite, I can't really drink anything else.

I have it black, no sugar.

For English tea, my favourite is PG Tips. Typhoo or Twinnings Earl Gray are my second choices. I didn't really like Taylor's Yorkshire Tea.

For oriental teas, I like Chinese green teas like Gunpowder Tea.

im the other way round - i like a nice strong cuppa in a great big mug

Well, I have all sorts of tea, but my favourite for everyday drinking is Morrisons Red Label loose tea.

Makes a nice cuppa.

Twinings 1706 all of the time.

There are occassions when I will not have tea made with a bag and it must be loose leaf in a pot. There are other times when I just want the cup of tea and am quite happy with a bag.

Tried loads of brands, and Yorkshire wins for me every time. Very refreshing and full of flavour, every time. I buy tea bags but on the rare occasion I have loose tea. Uusally standard Yorkshire Tea as I dont sense much difference in Yorkshire Gold.

Has to come out of a pot though, I cannot stand tea made in the cup, without giving the tea time to brew!!

Goes perfect with a few slices of Yorkshire Tea Loaf... ah tis heaven especially when you are watching a nice relaxing comedy like LOTSW.

Oh aye, they make Typhoo down the road from me (next to the Cadbury factory hehe) and I can honestly say, it isnt sold in any of the major local supermarkets!!

And I always tend to find that Somerfield has offers on the Yorkshire, like 160 bags for the price of 80 or 50% extra free etc, so more often than not it works out cheaper than the other big brands.

Yorkshire Tea for me

I hate Tetley and Typhoo, both taste horrid.

I don't like the taste of PG Tips or Typhoo.

I like Twinnings English Breakfast or Tesco's own brand, not value ones, they come in a red box? I think they're called premium. They're the only ones I like.
My Mum likes the Tetley Extra Strong ones, I'm not so keen.

Twinnings English Breakfast all the way for me

Yorkshire Tea

Pot of Yorkshire.

They buy PG Tips at work which is ok. At home I tend to cycle between Tetley, Typhoo and Twinings everyday with the odd Twinings Earl Grey as well.

I love Assam in the morning and Lapsang Souchon in the afternoon...

Tea is a wonderful drink, so many different types and flavours. I have no real preference for a brand but generally use teabags. I like a strong tea first thing so drink quite a bit of Assam with milk and also on its own or with lemon such as green tea.
