Where do you guys buy loose tea from, anywhere decent online?

 

[Neolink]

PG tips is the most ultimate bagged tea Especially if you are freak like me and leave the bag in the cup for mega strength

Not just bagged but granule jars too are

 

[Defcon5]

Better than pyramid bags, more flavour.

WTF eurgh.

 

[Squark]

Sounds a bit like instant coffee, I think I'll stick with loose leaf

 

[mrk]

WTF eurgh.

Have you ever tried it?

PG Tips is better than tetleys... but still rubbish IMO I grew up drinking it but wouldn't wanna go back to it.

 

[starfighter]

Have you ever tried it?

Nope, but then again you "eat" the coffee granules in instant coffee so it is probably the same.

But still it seems futuristic and wrong. Be gone with you heathen.

You don't eat anything, you pour in a teaspoon or two depending on the strength you like and add water ejo;r teirling it all around until it's light brown. Add some milk if needed.

The granules melt into the water and no granules are left at the bottom afterwards if you've mixed in with the spoon properly.

Quicker and easier to make than messing around with teabags and just as full of flavour.

Sainsbury's Red label makes a surprisingly good cuppa, just as good as PG. Loose leaf is by far the best though, not that I can be bothered to make it or buy it!

Do all you tea drinkers exclusively drink tea, or do you drink coffee too? Is it strange that I like good cups of both (not mixed obv)?

For me some of the enjoyment in a cup of tea is the process of letting it brew, taking out the infuser, adding a spot of milk (depending on the tea) then taking the first sip after it has cooled a little.

Yea I have some of that, it's quite a nice brew.

Personally I can't stand coffee, the smell gives me a headache and the taste makes me feel sick. Then again a cup of tea with sugar makes me feel sick too, I just cannot drink tea with sugar, I have to spit it out.

I find coffee a bit too "zingy" o.0

 

[MissMcT]

I love Lady Grey tea There's just something great about tea - it's so comforting! My OH just doesn't get it!

I just drink tea, I quite like the smell of coffee but have never persevered long enough to acquire the taste for it.
