bagged tea? if youre talking about specific types, you can get all sorts of tea in bags. apparently loose leaf tea tends to be higher quality though, the stuff they put in bags are like shitty clippings and stuff

i think im gonna try some of that stuff baron linked... looks authentic. and maybe some of that rooibos (although a big reason i drink tea is for caffeine).

also i want to confess my sin of using a shit ton of sugar

Yeah like this, not earl grey or anything, just normal tea. I assume thats what most people drink as opposed to the fancy stuff?

[Phigure]

pretty sure most of the regular stuff like that is black tea

Wu Xin, Faeries Blood (not sure if thats only available from t'chai ovna here in glasgow but if you can get it anywhere else its dope), Cranberry Green Tea, Punjana Breakfast Blend. < Essentials of my life, 2 sugars and a tiny tiny drop of milk

Nice to see Rooibos represented! As for "regular" tea, ie black with milk and sugar, Tetley's all the way! But if not, anything but PG Tips, urrrgh.
Shocked no-one's mentioned Assam yet, tiniest splash of milk and half a spoon of brown sugar yumyumyumyum
My mate brought me some Nepalese Masala First Flush that is just amazing. Similar to Chai but less so, if you know what I mean
Wittards make pretty decent stuff I've found, I like the Cherry Blossom and Gunpowder.
Talk to Phrex about his jasmine tea....cor.

S'all about them tea ceremonies you know, its sacred stuff

[ehbes]

Twinnings black with lemon is the way to go

Bang on, which includes your Earl Grey/Assam as well.

[kidshuffle]

i'm all about roobios, green, and those chinese ginger packets

[dubfordessert]

the value black stuff isn't a specific tea like english breakfast or earl grey it's just generic next leaves

[jameshk]

Yes dom! completely forgot about the assam!

[herbs]

TWININGS.

Just work your way through their stock.

Todays choice - Lady Grey.

[HamCrescendo]

Normally just get yorkshire loose leaf for the pot or twinings assam if I'm feeling a bit fancy.

Since I'm back home in London though we've just been having yorkshire tea bags, shit leaves scum all over my mugs but its still a decent cuppa. No Idea whats in yorkshire tea tbh, ground up whippets?

I drink so much tea up in Manchester just because of the pot, so might have to look into some more expensive stuff. Not a big fan of green tea (what I've tried anyway).

[topmo3]

i know true teamongers will slate me for drinking pouched tea instead of loose leaf but i love clipper. well tasty, fair and natural and not overpriced. a good bonus is the nice design on the packets



forsman's loose leaf infusions are also percy

[bright maroon]

Kusmi - Prince Vladimir




black teas get cream and sugar
greens and whites do not

I'm partial to white tea - the dragon pearl jasmine...when I'm looking for the lightest flavor...

also the "champagne of tea"...Darjeeling is right on



I know my post sounds arrogant - but really I'm a novice tea drinker...
I represent the mediocre/marginalized mans taste

[Johnlenham]

Drink chai.

Chai is good stuff.

Sugar in tea is the best, so good infact we English converted Indians to using sugar in theirs*


*According to the 80yo dude we stayed with in India for a few days who lives on a tea plantaion used for tetley tea

What do y'all pay for your fine teas?
