Tell me about your teadrinking habits

I drink my way through a pot of tea every morning, Yorkshire or Twinings English Breakfast leaf tea, with an added hint of Earl Grey, which gives it some zing. It is known as the London mix.

My DILs send me some Fortnums or Marriage Freres tea now and again.

I'm not really supposed to drink much tea because of the caffeine (I gave up coffee) but will have more in the afternoon, if I need that ahhhhhh feeling, otherwise I love a chai latte or peppermint tea. Not a big fan of fruit teas, I prefer herbals.

As I type this I'm on my 3rd mug of Yorkshire tea & have just put the kettle on to make another pot. My family know not to expect any sense from me before I've had 3 mugs of tea in the morning. DH is an early riser & brings me my first cup at about 06:30.

Yes, I'm addicted, but there are worse things to be addicted to I'm sure.

At work I have a tray with a pot of tea, milk in a jug & drink tea all day. Funnily enough I don't seem to wee more often than other people.

2 cups a day. One when get up, and an afternoon tea around 4. Usually breakfast tea in the morning and earl gray in the afternoon. I might have a green tea or a ginger tea after lunch but not every day. I like tea 😊

I'm a prolific tea drinker and don't understand why coffee shops took over the world when there is such a massive variety of tea out there!
I just have a bog standard bag tea day to day, a blended breakfast tea. Strong and well brewed.

I then do have loose tea and try to pick up nice blends from fancy tea shops as a treat.

I like herbal tea too and have peppermint, a lovely pukka camomile blend in the evenings or an uplifting tea as needed.

I came on to say this exact thing. Popped into Bird and Blend for a teapot and came out having spent £40 on a brewdini and a selection of loose leaf tea. That shop.is now one of my happy places, I spend far too much in there. I have almost stopped drinking coffee now as I'm enjoying loose leaf tea so much.

Tea addict here. I've tried all sorts over the years and have all the paraphernalia but I always return to Yorkshire tea. Brewed in a cup with freshly boiled water, bag out, milk in, no sugar. I drink 9 - 10 cups a day.

I have tea about 4 times a day. I hardly ever drink coffee.

If I’m at home and there are more than me having it, we’ll make up a big pot with tea leaves and a tea cosy, and have a couple of cups at a sitting.
If it’s just me, I just use a teabag - sometimes I do put the teabag in my pot for one, sometimes straight in the mug.

I drink it black, no sugar, but sometimes with a slice of lemon.

I think it tastes better poured from the pot, but that’s probably just imagination. It still adds to the enjoyment though!

I use a small white bone china mug for tea.

For loose leaf, I like assam tea best, but I’ll try other types of black tea every now and then.

For teabags, I like Ringtons Gold, but they are hard to come by. So I usually compromise on Yorkshire Gold.
At work we have standard Yorkshire teabags.

Not British, but an Anglo background.

Drank coffee growing up. Now if I have normal tea (super rare) I have it weak either black with lemon or weak, a tiny bit of milk and sugar. But i drink herbal teas daily- after dinner usually. Most often peppermint tea. I think the pukka brand is the best for herbal teas.

I am not fussed about the make, but had to change to decaffeinated not long ago. I have it with milk usually.

I have a mug in bed, before we get up - we take it in turns to make the drinks and feed the cats. I have one mug of cafetière coffee with caffeine for breakfast - my treat for the day. Then a mug of tea after lunch and dinner; and sometimes one mid morning and mid afternoon.

I’ll also drink green tea, jasmine tea, peppermint, fennel, and lemon and ginger for a change, in pursuit of my supposedly caffeine free life. I’ll always drink Chinese tea with Chinese food. There’s one restaurant, we go to, and I always have a bubble tea afterwards - mango milky tea with passion fruit popping pearls!

DD had gone to Wembley for 4 outfits for a wedding in India. We popped into a cafe for a sit down. For some reason, I decided to try chai masala and loved it. I’ll buy a box when I remember!

We’ve just been to Malaysia and I loved teh tarik, which I suspect is made with condensed milk, evaporated milk and a shed load of sugar. However, I won’t be drinking much of it here; got to think about the sugar!

The best tea ever is a raspberry tea in a Polish cafe - I don’t know what tea it is, but it has in it, has a shot of raspberry syrup, fresh raspberries, and spices (like star anise iirc)!

I bought this last week. It’s a slogan I can get behind

Yes. A really special mug! I've got a local pottery one. Yorkshire tea for me. I need one as soon as I wake up, then I have one coffee then probably about 4 other cups of Yorkshire tea through the day, including one in the evening. I like milk but leave the bag in! (It gets stronger as you drink it). My family are all big tea drinkers. My nana lived to 98 so I'm hoping that was the Yorkshire tea. I drink lots of water too.

Tea is life!

First thing I drink every day is tea - PG Tips, Tetley or Scottish Blend, brewed in mug for 4 mins, then remove bag & add milk. Never milk at the same time as the bag!

I move onto coffee at the office but then have a 4pm cuppa, made as above - keeps me going for the rest of the day.

On non work days / wfh days I brew loose leaf, usually Whittards, with a special mug with suspended tea ‘net’ - usually Piccadilly Blend, or some other black tea. Also enjoy Twinings Green Tea with Jasmine or fruit teas in the office sometimes when it’s cold, but I’m too caffeinated! And love chai….also Clipper Lemon & Ginger with honey & fresh lemon if feeling unwell. There’s a tea for every situation 😁

I have about 12 cups of Earl grey and day! I'm addicted I drink it black, no sugar and very hot. My first cup is always loose leaf. I find Twinings is the best, I can easily get 2 good cups from 1 bag. The loose leaf is strong, so I don't need much. It's wonderful!

I like twinings strong English breakfast teabags 😊 I have it with milk and sugar and I leave the bag in the cup ❤️

First of all, ALWAYS in the pot. I love tea but I’d rather have a decent coffee than tea made in the mug.

milk first. No sugar.

I drink 6ish cups a day. Making tea is the first thing I do every day. That first sip is just bliss.

Same here but tea in cup first not milk. I drink Barry's or if i can get it PG Tips. Always from a teapot in a fine bone china mug. I drink about 10 cups a day plus 3 cups of coffee

I love tea. Drink Clipper organic first thing every morning and then since my first child three years ago, I've drunk decaf the rest of the day (breastfeeding and now pregnant again). Started out with clipper decaf but it was so expensive, I've now switched to Sainsbury's own and can't really tell the difference. Always use teabags, tried loose leaf but felt too much of a faff just for me. Small splash of milk, no sugar.

Also have peppermint tea most nights before bed. Will drink lemon and ginger with honey when unwell and sometimes camomile. Agree with your take on fruit teas, too sweet for me and I don't like green tea. Enjoy a chai latte in a cafe.

As you can tell from my username I love tea a little too much I drink only Yorkshire tea I don’t know how many cups I get through a day but I can get through a box of 40 tea bags on my own in a week. I like my tea as it comes no milk no sugar.

I drink Clipper Earl Grey decaf with skimmed milk, about four cups per day. Before bed I drink camomile which I like to think will help me sleep, the same with the choice of decaf but as you can tell by the time of this post it isn’t working!

I have a large mug of English breakfast tea, with milk, in bed almost every morning, courtesy of my early rising husband, and most days another mid-morning.

I have a black Assam about 4pm if I’m home, or a whatever is available if I’m out and about.

And a final mug, although I only drink about half of it, of English Breakfast about 9pm.

Obviously, more tea at other times if I have visitors, or am visiting and am offered a cup.

I have coffee of a morning, then after 1pm it's cups of tea until tea time (no pun intended). 😆

My dad always had his brewed in a metal teapot. Mums was ceramic. 🫖

Boil a kettle. 🔥
Teabag in a cup (Yorkshire tea ideally, but PG tips and Tetley are good also) 🫖
Pour boiled water up to 3/4 of the cup 🍵
Let it brew for a good few minutes,
add a splash of milk 🥛
then stir and remove the tea bag 🟫
Then top of with a splash of boiled water, to get the perfect brew. 😉
Ideally the same colour as a Werthers original sweet (as Danny Dyer would say) 😆

As I am typing this, my lovely hubby has just brought me a cup of tea. 😌

Yorkshire tea is our regular brew. No sugar but not too much milk. I don't like Tetley, Twinings English Breakfast or PG tips in our water. Cornish tea is 2nd favourite for regular tea. About 5/6 mugs ( China only) a day. I also like quality Earl Grey with the tiniest spot of milk. I had the best Ive ever tasted Earl Grey, at a tea gardens in Devon last week, but I forgot to ask about the supplier. I also drink peppermint, nettle and ginger infusions.

Tea is my most favourite thing in the world. Normally have 4 cups in the first hour of waking. Love to make a pot of loose leaf for my first 3 cups. Happiest when my first cup of the day is hot and tasty. I openly admire my super cuppa and declare my love of tea. It makes me happy. My consumption tails off through the day and evening tea is usually decaf. I like Yorkshire, twining, pg tips. Loathe tetley and typhoo shite. I take it with milk, no sugar. Always take a flask of tea to work with me too. I'm most disappointed that my off spring have not inherited the tea drinking gene!
And yes, i do pack my tea bags in my suitcase.

Yorkshire tea is the way to go for the best tea, but as long as it’s English Breakfast tea then it’ll be decent enough. Earl Gray is nasty perfume in a cup
