Giving up sugar in tea

That dang Aspartame..this trash is hidden in so many things. A popular brand of YOGURT has this stuff in it. I wont name anything but its the one promoted on TV commericials as gut-friendly...oh yea. Look closely at ingredients and there it is.

Aye, but I feel a bit of a ****** round someone's house when they ask if I'd like a cup of tea and I ask what they have, which is invariably PG, Tetley, Yorkshire, or some other tat. I then have to turn it down or grin and bear it, where once upon a time I'd guzzle anything gratefully. Though sometimes I turn up with a box and pretend I've just been shopping. "Have you tried this tea? it's dead nice." The buggers just tend to drink it though and the next time I'm round they're back on the crap - probably because they've bought 1500 bags for £2.56.

I have the same problem with beer. Ignorance was bliss, even though it tasted like ****.

LOL your friends must think you're a right snob. Everyone I know has either tetley or yorkshire they are so boring, they won't try anything new. I need to try different brands this clipper one. Jackson green tea is really nice. I told my friend no sugar or milk in my coffee tonight and he put 1tbps in and milk, said you can't have it without. I forced him not to the next one and his girlfriend got up and said I need one now that smells real nice I said told you, that's from no milk. Brings the taste and smell right out with no milk or sugar.

I'm not particularly discerning when it comes to tea - just those brands you mentioned have always tasted very 1 dimensional to me lacking any real depth to the flavor. I used to drink somerfield's red label before they were taken over which was relatively full flavored and now mostly drink typhoo as I find it the least offensive of the mainstream brands.
