One of my favs. But the whole plantation refrence is wrong in my book, and is due for a name change.

i read somewhere that they did indeed drink green tea initially over there, but the time it took to ship the tea back to england, it would oxygenate and so be black by the time it arrived.
so although they wanted to drink green tea in england, all they had in the end was black tea, thus the milk + sugar.

that make sense. Green tea is less "touched" therefor better for you. at least that's what the "experts" say.

There are a couple of Tea Houses here - That serve lunch and stuff made w/tea..

Lapsang Souchong - is a russian tea, and early on, 17th century, they would travel in caravans, with like 300 camels and the tea would be kept inside these leather pouches - and with the heat and the time it took to cross - the tea took on a bacon/smokey flavor..but people liked it..so they standardized the practice by pan frying the leaves and such..

Here, they poach chicken in it for sandwich..

YORKSHIRE TEA MILK IN FIRST NO SUGAR

just going to make one now

ginger tea is good for your stomach (and makes you feel hungry)
+ green tea is an antioxidant (i dont like it but drink it)

caffeine is suppose to be an elixir as well

fuck off with your milk in first

PG Tips or M&S Extra Strong, brewed for 10 minutes until it's the consistency of lava and then a dash of milk

I was drinking some green tea the other day, and I was thinking this stuff does not taste that great, but it had a nice tonifying quality to it -

I will buy more because of that..
this kind..

Ito En - Pure Green

What tastes good is Lemon Lift with milk and sugar..

and I like Kusmi, Prince Vladimir, also w/milk and sugar..is similar to Earl Grey because of the bergamont..

yeah man yorkshire tea is the best but milk in first? go home

My girlfriend's a fucking particular tea drinker... got to be Yorkshire and the milk's go to go in SECOND.

Milk goes in first for coffee, second for tea. She reckons she can taste the difference and everything.

Most people in England use the word "tea" for their main evening meal. As in "Give it a rest, woman, I'm having my tea".

Although people in the South-East often call it "dinner".

Which mutates into "supper" when it happens in North London and there are servants involved.
