Twinings Everyday Tea

[PurpleGorilla]

also when pouring the water over the bag do it slowly and make sure there is a bit of agitation to get the flavours flooding out,

just dumping water , waiting ten seconds and then removing the bag is not gonna make a good cuppa!

Soft area and steeped for a couple of min.

Tetley is also rubbish.

I just like a proper brew!

I remember visiting some people in the States who just plonked the teabag in the cup and then stuck it under the hot water tap I tempted to buy myself a samovar

Heathens - burn them!

Tasteless dishwater.

You haven't tried this, I reckon. It has a taste, that of Welshpoop.

Yorkshire Gold - now there is a brew.

Check water hardness in your area on your water supplier's website. Try Yorkshire tea for hard water.

Barry's Tea gold blend for me, nothing else

[OwlHoot]

Indeed. Particularly if you live in an area with hard water.

Back in Scotty land you get builders tea after a 10 second dip.

1. Heat the cup for half a minute with a first lot of boiling water

2. Empty water, quickly pop in an Assam tea bag, pour in more boiling water, and leave for another minute or two.

3. Add sugar and milk

and there you have it - A proper sergeant major's brew

Leave the teabag in a bit longer? I like their everyday tea.

Assam for me

Although I read the other day the producers are trying to sack the ladies who delicately pick the leaves by hand, with robots that rampage through the plantations practically tearing the tea plants out by the roots. So before long we can expect lots more large twigs and suchlike.

I have one of these: SPECIAL.T its pretty good or go into town to here: Teekontor Darmstadt | Dem Norden ganz nah. for North German tea which ain't too bad (although I do have a big selection of English floor sweepings teabags at home )

[PurpleGorilla]

I've had Liptons. That stuff is not tea?

[Sysman]

Surely can't be as bad as Liptons Yellow Label.

Which for some reason seems to be widely available here.

It's small wonder the continental types drink coffee instead.

I do.

[BolshieBastard]

Nah, ASDA everyday tea bags for me.
