With time in the mornings now I’ve gone back to leaf tea. It tastes better.

But the last I had coop best, just wasn’t.....

I've developed a taste for Brew Tea but it's v pricey (for me anyway) so it has become a treat rather than everyday. It's proper leaves rather than the dust lots of others seem to be and they do decaff which I have as I drink rather a lot throughout the day. I was given one of the one cup tea pots that they make for my birthday and I was delighted (in case you hadn't guessed I am getting on a bit Grin

I love using loose leaf tea when I have the time.
Warming what DH refers to as the 'ceremonial' tea pot and then letting the leaves infuse for a good 3-5 minutes with the cosy on.
Then into a favourite mug; must be Emma Bridgewater for me. Milk from a little jug. So much more enjoyable than just dunking a bag.

I enjoy Assam tea in the morning usually. Darjeeling in the afternoon and in the evening I switch to decaffeinated Ceylon from Brew tea.
Sainsburys and Waitrose do a good range of loose teas at the affordable end of the price range.
Many companies online sell more expensive luxury leaf teas.
My favourite is Fortnum and Mason's Assam Superb but its not cheap at £10.95 for 125g.

I love leaf tea too, specifically T2 which a friend got me into. I have their Assam a lot, lovely and strong, and adore their breakfast teas. An expensive habit though. I have one of those oversized cups which is basically a pint of tea Blush

I love Teapigs - the teabags are almost as good as the loose leaf too!
