Howmanheyman 28019 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Don't think I've tried green. Is it a perfume type taste? Once had a gorgeous Assam but could never find one in the shops that tasted as good. Current tea is Twinnings Breakfast. Tea-maker Twinings sparked controversy when in 2009 it told 286 Tyneside workers they would lose their jobs and work would move to a new factory in Poland. Good lad, CT, you enjoy your cuppa!!

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I'm not a tea drinker (massive coffee drinker) but my wife drinks gallons of the stuff and claims to not be able to function without it. It also has to be Yorkshire Gold, no compromise. She even takes Yorkshire Gold on holiday with us. Whilst I'll sometimes bring home the rola-cola version of something we have to try and save money if I was to bring home a cheaper brand of tea she would probably kill me where I stood to be honest.

Gemmill 36184 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Anybody go with decaf for their evening cuppa? I wouldn't but the missus seems to think that caffeine makes it impossible for her to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6502 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 This is the best tasting strong teabag I've had; And I've had a few teabags in my time. One for the gamers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't but the missus seems to think that caffeine makes it impossible for her to sleep. Tea doesn't keep me up at all, which is a nightmare when I'm on night shifts as the caffeine really should help out. To be honest, I find a really cold glass of water is better for keeping me awake.

ewerk 27120 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I thought it was a myth too. Never has any stimulant affect on me like coffee does. That's because most of the caffeine is thrown out with the teabag. Pound for pound, tea has more caffeine than coffee, you simply ingest a much smaller percentage of it from a teabag than from a spoonful of coffee.

Dr Gloom 20234 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Don't drink tea or coffee, all I drink is water (loads of it), lager and whisky. similar to me, though i'd add wine to beer and whisky. not a lover of tea at all, don't really get the national obsession with it - just slightly flavoured, milky hot water really. not pleasant. coffee is one to add to the mix though. i don't drink those long milky latte bullshit drinks though. it's more about the effect from the caffeine than the enjoyment of the drink, for me - a double espresso is like an intravenous hit. i can't get going in the morning without a couple of them down my chops. it's like a line of gack for the workplace.

Meenzer 14185 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'm very much on the side of the espresso nowadays. A regular cup of coffee I get bored with halfway through. Espresso is ideal for the palate with a short attention span and the nervous system with a desperate need for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I can't bear tea. I'm no great lover of coffee either but I could drink a cup if it's packed full of cream and sugar. I'm drinking hot blackcurrant juice on arrival at work at the minute, to get the feeling back into my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
