Always been fascinated by tea and kind of like the good quality ones but has never been a habit for me. I have recently decided to stop drinking coffee for various reasons and incorporate more tea onto my life. I like black tea and green tea, not a big fan of the fruity infusions. What are the best brands? Do you usually drink it loose or in a bag? Teapot or straight into the mug? Milk? How many cups a day do you drink?
Curious and fascinated by the tea topic that’s all :)

I have cut back to one cup of coffee per day so drinking more tea. I’m Irish so we are raised on tea from infancy! Always a metal teapot. Boil kettle and fill teapot to warm it. Boil kettle again. Drain teapot and add tea or teabags. We like Barry’s! Pour in boiling water just as kettle clicks off. Pour slowly and from a height. Put tea on hob and let it come back to the boil. Turn off hi. And let it steep for a few minutes. Yea is ready. Add milk to big hefty mugs and pour I. Tea - again from a height and enjoy! Pot tea is always the best!

Yorkshire decaf, made in the mug, quite milky, one sugar. Don’t have one every day if I’m at home but I drink it at work and other people’s houses!

Clipper organic are my favourite tea bags, I enjoy loose leaf when I am offered it though. I probably drink 4-6 cups a day. I need to cut down.

No hot drinks here so can't comment. Interested in reading replies though!

I’ve never drunk tea. I hate it. The smell of it makes me heave 🤢
The British obsession with it is a complete mystery to me.

I drink coffee in the morning, and coffee in the evening, but everyday around 3 in the afternoon I drink tea. I drink black tea without milk, and without sugar.
Different kinds of black tea, depending on what I have at home. Loose tea in an infuser, straight into the mug.

Tetley, or PG tips. Splash of milk, made in cup. No sugar.

I’m a Yorkshire tea drinker. Have done both tea bags and tea leaves in my time but back on the tea bags. When in holiday in the West Country get Dorset Tea and Miles Cornish Tea.

I drink it black.

Probably have 4-5 mugs a day, though I never finish a mug.
