Tell me about your teadrinking habits

I drink 3-4 cups a day. Punjana with a dash of milk, out of a china cup. Mugs are for coffee. Does anyone else take a cup of tea up to bed at night?

I drink too much tea. Too much. I live on supermarket tea in the week. Brewed like a builder, just milk.

My weekend treat is Assam loose leaf, in a teapot, with a jug of milk; sitting at the kitchen table watching the morning sun.

This thread has made me want to try spiced chai, and I'm also fighting a losing battle at giving up my bedtime cup by replacing it with a herbal sleep teabag.

I drink Yorkshire tea. We make flasks if it which gives 2 mugs each. I have a cup at breakfast, one after the gym
2 in the afternoon and occasionally an extra one. My husband drinks early grey decaf in the evening when I have an elderflower drink and he has another one in bed watching the TV
I have milk
Husband has it black.
Love my tea.
At the weekend we have 2 cups in bed before getting up.

My favourite is Fortnum and masons, but that’s my treat now and again! I like English breakfast tea and have oat milk as have recently become intolerant to dairy.

I really like a couple of herbal teas: Twinings lemon and ginger, and Teapigs liquorice and peppermint. Both delicious.

3 or 4 teabags in a mug - now that is strong tea 😮

About 8 mugs of decaff tea a day. I start the day off with a caffeine tea - and when I can be bothered I use leaves....it makes a huge difference to the taste.

More of a coffee drinker than tea, though regularly make peppermint (and less frequently chamomile) to drink before bed.
Mainly make tea in the afternoons, on the weekend, after gardening or other activity where I feel I need some more hydration.
If I am making tea, it’s Fortnum & Mason teas (choice of English Breakfast, Darjeeling, Smokey Early Grey (with a bit of Lapsang Souchong added to leaven the perfume of the bergamot), Lapsang Souchong, or Chai) all loose leaf, made in a modern glass teapot with built in infuser, served black in an Irish pottery mug.

I'm a tea addict. For an everyday bag, I think Typhoo are the absolute best. I've tried every single other brand over the years and have yet to be persuaded otherwise. For a posh cup, I love the various Fortnum and Mason teas and will ask for them as gifts.

For non "black" tea, I love a Rooibos.

We are a big tea drinking house, including DC. We drink Yorkshire tea… we buy it by the sack from the farmers co-op. I think there are 1200 tea bags in each sack and we get through a lot of them! i have a range of bone china pint mugs especially for tea drinking. I would think I get through about 8 pints of tea a day when I’m at home; probably just 3 if I’m working or out and about. I drink it black so if I have a hot drink out and about I drink coffee cos it irks me paying £4+ for a black tea, particularly if it’s in a paper cup! Proper Yorkshire 🤦‍♀️ I grew up in a very cold farmhouse and dad used to pour tea on our cereals to warm us up in the mornings so I was started young and it’s been a life long addiction.

I drink 4-6 cups of clipper tea a day (either the green box or the orange box - whichever is on offer). Always in a large fine china mug, brew for around five mins so very strong, and then add the milk at the end. Needs to have a proper mash/steep.

For a treat I sometimes get a small box of Teapigs, or a small pack from Bird and Blend.

Yorkshire gold made with two sugars and a drop if milk so its a nice darkish golden colour

3 or 4 teabags in a mug. Leave for 5-ish mins. Dash of milk. Swig whilst still hot.

Lidl gold blend is very similar to PG Tips, there isn't a huge difference in price per cup but the boxes are smaller so it doesn't feel as spendy.
I've gone off Yorkshire tea, it might be my taste buds but its got a toffee note I can't get on with.

See, i dont class the fruit or green teas as tea!! They are just nasty hot drinks.

Where I come from, we leave the tea to mash in the teapot!

Yorkshire tea is the best, Yorkshire Gold is more expensive but lovely. I found a lovely china teapot in a charity shop for a fiver and drink the lot every morning. Finding a tea cosy to keep the pot warm was the real challenge

I’m Irish but don’t do all that palaver 😀
Boil kettle. When water has boiled put a bit into the tea pot- swirl it around to heat the teapot, empty it out. Add 3 teabags of Thompson’s Punjana tea ( I’ll be lynched that it’s not Barrys or Lyons tea 😂 must be my Northern Irish roots).
Let the tea “draw” (no idea - it’s what I heard growing up ) for a good few minutes.
Pour into a mug and add a splash of milk.
Add sugar if you must
Enjoy

I hate ‘normal’ tea and have never drunk it.

I drink green tea and peppermint tea, as good quality as I can afford! Occasionally treat myself to loose leaf but usually have Clipper or Tea Pigs. Always leave the bag in, and use a massive mug. I have about 4 a day (2 of each).

I like Williamson ‘Earl grey and English Breakfast. Tea bags

Yorkshire Tea, Milk, 2 sugars. I'm having a cup right now and drink about 3 or 4 cups a day.

I drink about 5 cups of tea a day. Decaf from lunch onwards. Mostly Clipper Organic or Waitrose own decaf.

Sometimes I have loose leaf tea as an afternoon treat. Especially if I’ve baked something.

I always travel with a flask of tea. And my own tea bags for a hotel room.

My dh is foreign and never used to drink tea, only strong Dutch coffee, but now I’ve got him into tea drinking too

M&S Gold bags. Large one every morning in bed, then another as soon as I get up, then several more until the last one right before bed. No sugar, dash of milk.

I have a couple of coffees each day as well, Nespresso pod things.

No fancy teas here. Just Yorkshire Tea in a mug. Can't function without it to wake me up although oddly I never drink tea in summer.
