I like coffee, but anyone who prefers coffee to tea is a wrong 'un. Mark my words.

 

Lancashire tea in a mug for me, if I can't be bothered to throw some leaves in a pot.

But I only drink tea in the afternoon and evening, not strong enough to wake me up. For that it's always a good coffee.

Kenco Millicano is my favourite instant variety at the moment. Got a coffee machine that I only ever seem to use at weekends!

 

Plan hehe

Seriously though, If you actually did need something like this then I am sure I could get some and send over. Can't see a fellow Pat in need of the basics

 

Yorkshire man = tea for me.

I only have coffee if I'm out and about, work etc or visiting as the tea is not made how I like it so I suffer from the funny taste in my mouth for hours after from coffee.

 

If coffee gives you a funny after-taste, try a cup of instant tea. That stuff is.... I'm not sure how to describe it. It's not nice at all.

 

Yorkshire tea for me, proper mans tea

 

Under a recent EU ruling on protecting regional foods, Yorkshire Tea is being banned as tea doesn't grow in Yorkshire.

 

 

That instant tea is disCusting!

I got given to drink it once on a camping trip. I nearly chundered after having a sip. I had to pour it on the grass, and pretend that it was bottoms up.

 

Don't get me wrong, I 'need' a big mug of tea, so don't do the full tea routine thing. But on the very rare occasions I do have it out of china, IMO the flavour is so much better drank from said crockery. More refreshing.


Sorry Dunk.

 

Those instant tea granules....

I can almost feel the enamel being stripped from my gnashers, as I write. *shudder*

 

Yes, Kenco Millicano is the best instant going IMO, and I'll drink it if I have to.

 

I wouldn't need to go as far as teeth enamel being stripped. That'll only happen if you drink it. Even the look of that granulated tea makes you think that your mum has kneaded your dirty socks in handwash, put the extracted mucky and stinky water in a mug, and given it to you to drink it because you stole .50p from her piggy bank to buy a lollypop from the pub she drinks in.

 

I only drink Twinnings.

I drink a bit of coffee too but have gone off it a little recently. I don't enjoy the caffeine hit so much.

 

You do have a unique way with prose, Swati.

Your enthusiastic posts nearly always make me giggle. It's the innocent, 'matter of fact' delivery that gets me. Love it.

 

I'm not as much of a tea connoisseur as some on here, but I do love my tea. Rarely touch coffee as it does nothing to quench my thirst and as has been mentioned, always leaves a nasty after taste.

 

It's literally made from the stuff they sweep off the Twinings factory floor.

 

Stagnant coffee-breath is the rankest thing out.

 

I drink a lot of tea. But coffee first thing in the morning, especially at this time of year. It does help to give a boost.

 

Best ever hahaha

 

I do prefer water or juice to quench thirst though! Was working in Cardiff in that heat wave weather this summer putting up steel. M&S proper squeezed fruit juices were amazing straight out the cooler. Tea would not even cross my mind in that situation Joz. I think you must be some kind of weirdo...

 

I must be too. I love a cuppa in the hot weather as much as the cold.

 

lol @ Gles

But Lisa's correct - tea in hot weather quenches thirst like no other!

Ice cold orange juice does.... But only WHILST you're drinking it(?) As soon as I'm finished, I have to follow it up with half a pint of water!

 

That instant tea is one of the few negative memories I have of holidays in Japan.

There are a lot of coffee shops there but anywhere else you'll either get green tea or instant!

(Fresh Green tea out there is awesome by the way)

 

The Japanese don't get the whole milk in a hot drink thing. They find it rank.

Brits, to them, ooze an inherent reek of dairy lol

 

Dunks a neutral, he dosen't care either way.

 

I know that bullsh1t
I've got a mate who works for Yorkshire Tea and they make tea for a lot of other companies, they use the sweepings up for them.

 

That Millican is a ghastly rip off - and doesn't perform either !

Mellow birds all the way

 

I was at my brothers house recently, my family know I am enthusiastic about coffee. My brother asked if I would like one of Lindsay's (my sister in law) special coffees. I agreed, expecting to her her grind some beans, or maybe let me sample something from a nespresso or tassimo type coffee machine.

Nope the special coffee was 1 teaspoon of mellow birds and 1 of nescafe in a mug the size of a small bath. Gave us a good laugh though...

 

Hot tea in middle of summer will cool you down faster than a cold orange juice

You may not wish to drink it, but it does
