The Real Tea Thread

That's earl grey out as well then.

Earl Grey is Tea, it's just flavoured. Jasmine Tea is also a Tea that is flavoured but the leaves come from the Tea plant.

Tesco own brand barley water

That bit's just weird.

 

[theclaud]

Hmm.

Espresso, bike, coffee, lunch, coffee, bike, wine, dinner, wine, espresso, brandy.

That can't be right because it doesn't have beer in.

 

[stephec]

Double espresso with breakfast, then another one when returning home from work later on.

Plus one more in the middle of the day if I feel like it.

 

[raleighnut]

At which point it loses its status as tea.

I disagree, the leaves of a tea plant will always contain the caffeine natural to the plant (even De-caf is not completely free of caffeine) that is different to the herbal infusions sold as a caffeine free alternative to Tea

That can't be right because it doesn't have beer in.

Espresso, bike, coffee, lunch, tripel, coffee, bike, wine, dinner, wine, espresso, grappa, gutter.

Be all that as it may, flavouring tea with other stuff stops it from being proper tea.

And therefore not theft.

B3 - not too strong/stewed and not too milky.


My uncle likes his super strong - "so he can stand the spoon up in it" as he says !!

The correct order is tea breakfast coffee coffee lunch tea tea beer dinner beer.

Hmm.

Espresso, bike, coffee, lunch, coffee, bike, wine, dinner, wine, espresso, brandy.

Nope...coffee, breakfast, tea, tea, lunch, Tesco own brand barley water, tea, tea (the meal), beer, beer, beer, beer, bed

Double espresso with breakfast, then another one when returning home from work later on.

Plus one more in the middle of the day if I feel like it.

Espresso, bike, coffee, lunch, tripel, coffee, bike, wine, dinner, wine, espresso, grappa, gutter.

What is it with you people? There are two essential coffees in the day. The one with breakfast and the really important one - the one after lunch. Only one person recognises the fact.

And before I get thrown off the thread for diversions, D1's a pretty acceptable cup of coffee. In a pint mug with breakfast.

 

[Doseone]

Anyone else like a Russian Caravan?

Too smokey for me

 

[theclaud]

Coffee after midday?

Mental.

 

[ianrauk]

Mental.

We've always known he lives on the edge.

 

[atalanta]

Yorkshire Tea
Black, no sugar

Bag left in

Yesssss, it's only proper tea if the bag is all squnched down at the bottom the entire time. (tho I'll take a D1 over no milk.)
