are you a Tetley, PG Tips or other man?

I'm looking for a better tea. I think Tetley, which I have been drinking, is as dull as dishwater.

Even my local cafes in tea tastes better.

Any recommendations. Bags only, I can't do with all that posh loose leaf rubbish.

I'm sure, like a lot of things that ordinary tea was far tastier years ago, but that may be my buds wasting away.

Bit of a contradiction there treble. No real man would drink tea.

Hmmm. What a strange response by Akabula. I drink tea, and I enjoy a cup of tea. I don't have any fear of saying that and I certainly don't feel my sexuality, or lack of it, has any bearing whatsoever upon that enjoyment.
Of course, if the situation was different and, for example, my sexuality might be a bit 'doubtful'...then I too might hide my bushel behind such macho posturings.
MEN don't drink tea!! Maybe a bit of insecurity showing there...but does it really matter? No, not one bit. Sit down, I'll make us a nice cup of tea and you can tell us all about it. Plain

Yorkshire tea for me, very strong, a tiny drop of milk and half a sugar.

On special occasions I use two teabags. Happy

IMO well worth paying a few extra coppers to get a decent cuppa.

People don't think twice paying £2/£3 for a cup of Starbucks or Costa, but skimp on paying an extra 50p/£1 for a box of tea bags i.e. isn't it worth an extra 1p for a decent cuppa?

Twinnings Assam is a nice strong cuppa, (or supermarkets own label best Assam)

Yorkshire Tea probably the best of the popular brands.

Darvilles of Windsor Royalty Assam teabags, three quid for a box of 50 bags. If it's good enough for Her Majesty, it's good enough for me imo.

My favourite, and well worth a try if you've never drank it, is Co-Op's Indian Prince tea. My parents always drank it so I got used to it and prefer it to any other.

I don't mind as long as there is only a mouse swimming in mine. I wouldn't want a mug of tea with a herd of wildebeast in it!

I don't drink spirits, and drinking beer 2 nights a week and a Sunday  lunchtime session while playing darts saw me gain over 5 stones in 9 years.

And in the end I wasn't even getting drunk, so I stopped.

Easy if you want to do it.

Fair enough....but you could have countered the weight gain with more exercise?

Earl grey, no milk, no sugar is the way forward. So refreshing.

Twinings is good but Taylors of Harrogate is amazing. Just hard to get hold of it.

Changed my job for a manual one.
Manual workers, imo, don't go to gymnasiums.
Got down to 15-9 (lost nearly 3 stones) then got made supervisor and the weight loss stopped.
Put just under 2 stones back on over the years.
Weight now settled at 16-10 to 16-12.

I've moved on from mere tea to Dragonfly Rooibos tea, with vanilla. This isn't a real tea and it's South African (and therefore tough, not at all nancy). Very refreshing, I've been drinking it as a replace for coffee, it has no caffeine and is refreshing.
