Yuky dah!

I have never had tea since just before I was poorly. Oh the smell still lingers like a morning sickness thing!
My hubby likes Yorkshire tea bags, two in a cup mind. Youngest likes Tetley extra strong.

Only coffee for me, black no sugar, usually, but do spoil myself with strong coffe and cream. Like cappuccino too.

A cup of tetley tea left to brew for a while, with a touch of milk and two sugars.

Nothing gets me out of bed quicker than the smell of a cup of tea being made. Not even a bacon sarnie.

Actually, scratch that. I prefer Lyons tea to Tetley's. Although it's damn difficult to find in the UK, apparently it's the same as PG Tips but I don't think it is.

Very strong Earl Grey for me thank you.

Irish Breakfast occasionally.

Coffee so strong it melts the spoon.

And my favorite is Chilli Chocholate which I have had to cut down on.....

Tetley's for me not strong , no sugar and just a drop of milk, but I like coffee Latte the best.

Best tea I've had in years was National Trust A La Rhonde in Devon. I even asked them what it was, googled it when I got home but only sold in large scale catering sacks. Mostly the water quality I expect-our water is rubbish-so chalky down here.

Worst tea I remember out was at Trebah Gardens down in Cornwall when I asked for a "strong" cup of tea and they wanted to charge me an extra £1.40 for another teabag- long standing joke in our house!

Lyons tea- now I have one of those in the cupboard to try- so amazed to see adifferent brand of leaf tea around so grabbed it to try. Found it in the new Waitrose I think.

First thing in the morning it's got to be Tesco's own brand teabags (I get them specially imported) milk no sugar. When I've got the time to savour it properly I go for Kusmi Tea's Russian Breakfast tea leaves - it's a little bit smoky, but absolutely georgeous (if you can say that about a cuppa). Hubby laughs, he knows when we're visiting family the first words out of anyone's mouth when we comw in the door are "put the kettle on" :lol:
It always sounds funny when he says it!!!
