The Real Tea Thread

D1 for me with half a spoon of sugar please.

I'll share a brew with @User259 and @rich p - B2 - but only if it's semi-skimmed.

 

[ianrauk]

B2 - Sainsburys Assam preferably

Ponce

C2 or B3 look about the right colour.

C2 with sugar

At last, a fellow B3er. I was beginning to think I was a bit odd

....oh, hang on, it's 3BM

A4 is the closest, but it's still far too strong. Tea needs to be extremely high quality and made extremely weak (a teaspoon of leaves to a large teapot is about right). It then needs to be poured within a few minutes before the tannins can really get extracted.

C1, with sweetner. I like my tea strong and with little milk.

I only put that down so you wouldn't look the sad lonely twat you are, I'm just too kind.

Anyone else like a Russian Caravan?

B3 or D2...with half a sugar.
Surprising how many people say...'whats the point of half a sugar ?'

Takes the edge off, can't stand stuff too sweet.

I once went out with a girl, I offered her a drink...'tea' she asked, 'but no teabag'

Eh ?...basically she liked hot water, milk and sugar.
Dumped her a short while later .

 

[Randomnerd]

A1, in a pint mug. No sugar. Nice.

*ahem*


For some reason the Brits have never got hot drinks right. As a rule we drink tea too strong, coffee too weak and chocolate too sweet.

We're kindred spirits 3BM, don't try to deny it
