I used to quite happily drink Gold Blend and a few other instant coffees, that weren't on the low budget end. But for the last three years of long covid, every time I've tried instant since, they're like a torture device they taste that bad!

It's not a snob thing, I get the same repulsion from a lot of ground coffee too.

I drink 'Green Tea' and strangely the nicest I've found is from Aldi

My wife drink Green Tea

If she can get it she always wants Clipper - not because it is Organic and stuff
just because she like it

so when Tesco has a reduced price - normally reduced from £4 to £3 - then I generally get 5 or 6 in one go!!

personally I like proper tea - Tesco own brand is just fine

but in the morning I drink coffee - instant but one of the better brands
I have tried making it properly at home but it is never right - normally too strong - which I like but I go all weird afterwards!!

By the definition that any eating place that she goes to has to be of a certain 'quality', then my sister is a snob.
She wouldn't be seen dead in the sort of places that the GLW and I frequent; i.e., proper caffs - ! :rofl:
 
We would much rather go to a "proper restaurant" even if it a just a pub
than go to a trendy modern place


especially if it plays a "Happy Birthday" track every few minutes (thinking of Frankie and Benny when the first grandkid was little!)

or anything like that

Aldi green tea (chinese tea) is 59p for forty bags.......................It is one of the most 'pleasant' green teas I have had and I've tried a lot. There is a Chinese food wholesaler in town that sells green teabags which are 'nicer' but twice the price. The worst I've had are Twinings, horrible taste and nearly 4 quid for 20 bags and it is undrinkable.
The Aldi brand is 'Diplomat' and is really a fine drink................pleasant taste and inexpensive

There is no reason why Tealeaves treated in a Chinese manner should be more expensive than tea treated in the Indian manner but for some reason it is seen as being 'exotic' therefore dear
