marigold Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I prefer fruity and herbal teas without sugar or milk. A good, well steeped standard English Breakfast/Earl Grey type tea, I like a little sugar and milk in it. My relationship with tea is complicated. Me too on both counts. But usually I skip the sugar and just try to get the optimum combination of heat, strength and milk. I like me a 'builder's brew' - tea like cement :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porziuncola Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 By the way to anyone who's been here four years or more, I used to be active here under the sn zunshynn. (I can't believe it's been that long since I was here!) I can't remember the password to that account and no longer have access to the email associated with it, so I made a new account awhile ago, but just came back again. So hi! Good to see so many of you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I do not really drink herbal or fruit teas, but I love all the standards. Pu-er, Oolong, Green, decent quality Earl Grey, etc.. Only time I sweeten my tea is for my cold treatment, which is Earl Grey with honey and lemon and rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthfinder Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nothing in mine except sometimes lemon juice if I have a cold. I buy my tea cheap but I'm really like both English and Irish Breakfast tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Am I the only one here who will only drink tea with no sugar and no milk? :blink: When in NL I'll drink most tea with neither milk nor sugar, otherwise people look at you funny. In the comfort of my own home, however.... :wave: Hey there! How are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puellapaschalis Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 http://youtu.be/1-8LbiVjmXc?t=1m27s Not sure what's going on with youtube embed. But anyway .... Margot from Fortnum and Mason says that milk "before" was originally the way, but later putting in "milk after" became the sign of proper fanciness cuz it indicated that you had better quality china which wouldn't crack if you just poured hot water into your cup. There is Fortnum and Mason and then there is Yorkshire Tea: http://youtu.be/d7jj-6OnW38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
