Tea Anyone?

[sonosun]

Does anyone else enjoy a cup of tea? I try to have a cup of tea every day. I prefer Tetley's as it's mentioned in AYBS?,but I am out at the moment and left with something else.

[Jeff Humphries]

I like to drink almost any kind of Tea, and they say it is good for you, so I guess drink more

[Pamela]

I'm awfully lazy- I use QT, powdered tea with dried milk already in it.

I still add more milk though-I like a nice, weak, cool cuppa.

[Bailey]

I can't say why, but I like Typhoo. It just...gets me.

[minki]

I love tea...herbal teas though. For some reason I can't stomach regular black tea well. And green tea makes me sick as a dog :cry:

[Lucas The Tucas]

I love a good cup of hot tea...Usually it is Twinings or herbal...

Or a nice cold glass of ice tea...

Lucas

ps. Sonosun,at least you didn't have "a personal problem" with your wife not voting on week #8...

[sonosun]

I am about to try Twinnings as it's sold in my favorite store and I am tired of searching for Tetley's.





I magnanamously allow my wife to vote how she sees fit. Translated that means she's going to vote as she sees fit. :D

[Lucas The Tucas]

Good Going for the Tea...

AND ha ha ha ha ha :lol:

Recently my Doctor informed me that I needed to remove sodium and cafine from my diet.Being a southern boy,I gave him this reply and I quote:

There is no way I am giving up my Dr Pepper and Ice tea!Thats all I ever drink!

You tell 'em, Brad.http://www.minki.net/forum/thumbup.gif I love Dr. Pepper myself. My fridge is loaded with the stuff right now. Along with Pepsi, and A&W Root Beer.

As for tea, I drink Tetley's British Blend, hot and cold. We also drink Green Tea, Strawberry Tea, and Peach Tea. Yesterday, I picked a tea called Tension Tamer. It's suppose to relieve your stress and ease tension so I thought I'd better get it a try.

[sonosun]

We have some Crystal Light Peach Tea and it is really delicious.

[DuranFan]

I enjoy having tea with honey in it -- always makes me feel better 8)

[wolf_fire186]

I like instant Lipton's caffeine free ice tea. I use to buy Nestea Free Ice Tea (Instant also) but it is too hard to find. The only time I drink hot tea is when I have a cold. Then it is chamomile and mint. I never, ever, drink tea that is already prepared and sold in cans and cartons :!: YUCK :!: :!: :!:

I love a cup of tea in the afternoon, when I begin to feel a bit sleepy, but there's no time for a nap. I usually drink English Breakfast at that time. Iced tea is also a favorite, especially in the summer. I have an herb garden, and I love to put a sprig of spearmint into my iced tea.

One of my friends hosted an afternoon tea for some little girls in the neighborhood. It was in February, and coincided with Valentine's day. She issued invitations to a "Valentine Tea with the Queen of Hearts." The children dressed to the 9s, brought straw hats which they decorated with art materials provided by the hostess, and enjoyed Queen of Heart tarts, a Choco-Cherry Cheshire Cat cake, "Eat Me" tea cakes, Dilly Deviled Egg Dip with Cucumber Caterpillars, and "Drink Me" tea. She gave the children a copy of Alice in Wonderland, telling them it was the best book ever written for children, and that she hoped they would read it from cover to cover.

The kids had a great time, and it was certainly a change from their usual get-togethers.

Great way to get kids reading, too! :D

Catherine

[sonosun]

It certainly sounds like a great time was had by all.

[GrizzyLemon]

I love tea.

I've been buying it online lately at this site.

www.englishteastore.com

They have their own brand of tea which is very good price and tasty, but they also have twinings, typhoo and pg tips as well as some other goodies.

[lovepink]

I love tea too I love Earl Greg for Bigelow . :D

[spoonme]

I drink coffee mostly but when I have tea I have PG Tips at the moment as the box came with a free Gromit mug!!!

[Capt. Peacock]

My English wife loves tea. I can't tell you how many cups she drinks during a day. For Christmas I bought her a tea brewing machine. Its like a Mr. Coffee.

She drinks it the traditional way, with milk and sugar. She considers iced tea to be vile.

She doesn't have to have a British brand of tea. American tea suits her fine.

[Lucas The Tucas]

Dear Captain Peacock...wrote about his wife's tea...

She considers iced tea to be vile.
:?

Your wife doesn't live in Texas...And in the Summer...We have 8-10 months of Summer... April to September can be very rough...

And she must have fluids to replace what the mosquitos drink. :shrug:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I drink hot tea also...But then maybe in the early morning or late night in the summer... :o

YF

Lucas :D

Ps...My neighbor is from England...

[spoonme]

I'd love to try 'proper' iced tea. Mmmmm...

I know about Texas heat. I have spent some time there during the summer. terrible!

When I was in England I asked about iced tea and they looked at me like a space alien...lol

She has found she likes the Lipton's raspberry sweetened tea, but just plain brewed iced tea she couldn't stand it.

We found a local store here yesterday that sells proper English tea for a somewhat low price (PG tips for $2.50 80 tea bags) she was tickled. Now if we could find English sausages and gammon bacon...lol

[spoonme]

"Now if we could find English sausages and gammon bacon...lol"

Gammon? EWWW!!!! was forced to eat that cack as a kid - with Pineapple!!!!!! EEEEEWWWWWWW.

It's like eating a horses saddle.

[Lucas The Tucas]

Dear Spoonme


My Father has a couple of saddles.

That's the least that I can do to help me Friends relive their childhood.

Thanks, that's beyond generous of you lucas! But I shall politely decline your offer. But if you have any of that gum out of Garbage Pail Kids Stickers that's a different story - I can just smell it now!!! Now that's childhood!!

[minki]

I remember Garbage Pail Kids O_o It's all coming back to me too! :lol:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Blimey! :? I must be old.

I thought that Spoonme was talking about a British thing. :shrug:

I just heard about them from Spoonme.

Lucas :P

[Tiddles]

My sis sent me some Garbage Pail Gum and cards for my birthday a few years ago. She also sent me some jelly beans that tasted like dirt, earwax, vomit, pepper, etc. That rotten little basket!! :lol: Those things were funny, but NAZZZZTY!!

[spoonme]

Garbage Pail Kids - VERY American! There was a movie and an animated TV Show aswell.

[dazzlestar14]

I had tea at my Grandmother's last year and I got sick afterwards. :o

[spoonme]

Do you think she spiked it with Arsenic?!!!

[dazzlestar14]

LOL, I hope not!! :lol:

[Tiddles]

Maybe she put bacteria infected cream in the meringues. :evil: :lol:

[spoonme]

And itching powder on the doilies!

[dazzlestar14]

Now that I think about it, she only offered me a meringue and the doily did leave a rash. She always said she had one grandchild too many.

:lol:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Watch-Out There Little Red Riding Hood !

[Calliste]

Tea! I love tea! Pickwick Lemon is good, or Earl Grey. Delightful. But never try to make Senseo Tea if the machine makes mostly coffee; it's awful! (Or are that my gran's mugs I taste?) I like to have loads of sugar in my tea, but my mother doesn't like it if I do that. Sigh.

[sonosun]

I love Tetley's Breakfast Blend and I am out of it. I need to go to Wal-Mart for more.
They make some little mesh devices that you can use on your Senseo machine that accept regular coffee and save you money.

[daft boy]

Just FYI---

Twinings just recently discontinued some of their black teas; so if there's one you prefer better stock up.....

and also-they have new packaging and guess what else?


Five less teabags per box----- and for a higher price!

there's nothing like distracting us with a fancy new box.

AREN'T WE LUCKY.....

[Lucas The Tucas]

Dear DaftBoy

That's bad news. :(

They will price themselves right out of Texas.

Wally-World is the main place to find-em now.

Lady Grey, English Breakfast, and the Variety pack.

And if the sales slow down at W.W. they won't deal with you. :(

[sonosun]

Before tea the Brits,men,women,and children, drank Gin. Rach may have to go back to the orginal drink.

[Lucas The Tucas]

:? MMMMM_______Sonosun ..... Do you have any proof that Rach. has ever quit drinking gin ? :shrug:

:lol: :lol:

Lucas

[sonosun]

Lucas

Took me awhile to reserch this,but no I have no proof that Rach ever quit drinking gin.:hat:

[Assistant 134]

*Hiccup*

Sorry! I would have been here sooner but I just woke up. Remind me in the future to tell Greg to stop spiking me tea! :lol2: :germanweek:

Cheeky monkeys, both of you :no:

BTW, Wal-Mart has stopped selling Tetley's British Blend and Breakfast Blend in my home town. They only sell Tetley's Classic Blend now.

[sonosun]

Rach willl have to move to my hometown to comtinue drinking her cup of tea. :hat:

[Tiddles]

I just picked up some Brit Blend in WalMart today of all days....so they still have it around here where I live. Maybe they sell things by how much demand they get for the product. If it's not moving too well, they pull it? David?

[Assistant 134]

If it's not moving too well, they pull it? David?

:lol2: David wouldn't do such a thing like pull it :lol: :humphries01:

Seriously though, none of the Wal-Marts around here sell Tetley teas except ours

[Assistant 134]

The other to my delight, I found Tetley's British Blend at Kroger's. They also have it in Decaf. I was so thrilled.

[dazzlestar14]

Pip Pip Cheerio! :beerchug:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Hey, Kroger's is moving up.

My Congrads Rach. :smile:

Wow! Tids sorry I missed this.That is exactly what they do do .( That don't sound right do it?) How they decide what to stock in each store to begin with is however beyond me.Some started with Tetley's and some didn't.

[Canada1]

King Cole, is my favourite.

[SamuelCrawford]

Ah tea, the greatest discovery since.....tea actually. I drink so much tea it's probably not normal but it's sort of built into my daily routine. I only use loose tea, not bags though. Milk and two sugars - lovely! I once drank Tibetan butter tea which is basically tea with milk and butter. It was quite strange and sweet but nice all the same. :tebbshead1:

Yes but did it make you feel viril?:minki:

[Diana Yarswick]

My fav tea is Thai iced tea, but for a hot tea I like Emperor's Choice

[Evey]

I love Earl Grey but my dad doesn't like buying it because its too expensive, so i usually have Yorkshire, which is nice too. :thumbup:

[SamuelCrawford]

:wink: LOL! No, sadly it didn't. I didn't know it did that!

[Sir Humphries]

:wink: LOL! No, sadly it didn't. I didn't know it did that!

You need Yak butter for that.:chef:

I love tea. I just wish I drank it more often. I have a drawer in my kitchen that is packed with boxes and boxes of different types of tea. I only have a stove-top coffee percolator, which makes excellent tea, but can be a pain to use.
