Best Cuppa Tea?
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 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). |

[quote=♣ Moya;27700384]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.=QUOTE] 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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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.
