Orm -> Lets talk tea... again. (2/15/2014 10:40:55 AM)
I've recently begun to brew a lot of Lapsang souchong tea. Anyone else like this smoky tea? I also read that 95% of the tea sold is in tea bags. Now days I almost always brew my tea so I wonder how you do it. Am I alone in brewing tea? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapsang_souchong

mmmm breakfast....eggs and bacon and ham and sausages and hash browns ana bowl of grits, biscuits and gravy topped off by a cup of java. Yessir a true meal of a heart attack or stroke. It was nice while it lasted though. I miss biscuits and gravy and sausages most of all. [&o]

Time for tea again. [:)] I've gone from drinking one cup "English Breakfast" tea twice a day to drinking tea 4 to 6 times a day and each time usually 2 or 3 cups. And now I mix between more than 20 different types of blendes and flavours. The label of tea I buy the most is Twinings but I more and more buy my tea in specialized tea shops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_blending_and_additives

Tea is still a holdover in the Northeast USA. Since I was born in Massachusetts, my morning cup is always tea.

Earl Gray for me no milk or sugar.

KG Erwin -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/16/2014 6:16:52 AM)
Yeah, I'm partial to an occasional cup of Earl Grey, straight with no additives, but as an American I prefer my cups of coffee in the morning. I like French Roast, straight up with no cream or milk, but any kind will do in a pinch. Right now I'm using a milder blend, as I bought it on sale. Coffee isn't cheap these days. Also, I'm one of those "coffee and a cigarette" types first thing, even before I eat breakfast. I don't do big breakfasts anymore, as I prefer eggs, sausage & pancakes as a weekend brunch. During the work week I usually eat a cheese/fruit danish or a honey bun for breakfast.

Orm -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/16/2014 7:43:37 AM)
For breakfast today I have a couple of cups with Lady Grey tea. Home baked bread with cheese and horse sausage is also on the menu.

I must say I do like Crumpet in the morning. Fnarr Fnarr.

Gilmer -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/16/2014 1:19:51 PM)
PG tips? I like that tea. As a sort of story from college. It was a joke don't put any more thought into it. I was going to reuse a teabag and a friend says to me, "Gilmer, This is America. We don't re-use teabags!" Quote about tea from a movie. quote: Afraid this tea's pathetic. Must have used these wretched leaves about twenty times. It's not that I mind so much. Tea without milk is so uncivilized.

Orm -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/18/2014 7:54:08 PM)
Time for evening tea and a semla. [:)]

Zorch -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/18/2014 9:38:14 PM)
Ya'know, I think the moderator gonna have to lock this thread. Can't have people arguing about something as serious as tea. [:D]

Aurelian -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/18/2014 11:31:45 PM)
I'm a big tea drinker. About a gallon of diet green tea/day

Orm -> RE: Lets talk tea... again. (2/19/2014 2:19:11 PM)
Time for a cup of afternoon tea and to watch the semi-finals in curling. Sweden versus Great Britain.
