Ceylon or Constant comment and for regular black tea, Red Rose brand with 2 tea bags and 3 teaspoons of sugar. MUCH better that that garbage from Lipton.

Do you get Twinnings in America? They have some delightful teas.

Sad to see a thumbs down for such a nice and innocent thread. I really should try having tea in different ways than just one, such as those you suggested.

yes, there are scores of ways, my wife makes it entirely with milk, kind of boils the tea in the milk.

To be fair tea has been refined and globally popularised by the English, but let's remember who invented the drink in the first place.

Believe all Twinnings products are sold in the US & Canada. "Stash Premium Green" and "Triple Leaf Ginger" (100% Ginger Root) are among my current favorites. Often, over ice cubes in a tall tumbler (unbrewed) with Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

wow that does sound rather tasty!

Well here in Texas, US when you order tea, you get iced tea with a straw! Yes, I will do the walk of shame while you throw teabags at me. 😳

I am convinced that serving tea is quite ceremonial, at least in some cultures. Here in Glasgow we have what are termed tea rooms, some designed by world famous designers such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, with high backed chairs and breathtaking interior design, anyway, tea comes in many manifestations, Turkish tea, thick, black and very sweet serv ...[text shortened]... a of Devon, served with scones, clotted cream and some berried jam,

how do you take your tea,

Call me a philistine but I take mine warm and wet 🙂

Preference though is bog standard Yorkshire tea, quite strong and not killed with milk.

Earl Grey without milk also floats my boat.

Not so much into all these fruity, arty farty teas.

Tea should always be taken with chocolate cake.

Tetleys for you then my friend. I always prefer coffee and chocolate.
