To take your own teabags to freinds/family's houses

[tillylula]

Abit of a lighthearted one...

Ever since having my DDs my taste buds for tea have dramatically changed and I can only tolerate only one type of teabag. Anything else makes me feel so sick its not worth drinking. I take my own teabags to people's houses. Everyone thinks I'm weird. I know I'm weird.

Does anyone else do this?

YABU - no I wouldn't take teabags
YANBU - yes I would/do take teabags

I carry mine in my handbag in this. Maybe I should be embarrassed, but I'm not. Tea is important and I've had too many substandard brews. I don't make it obvious if I can avoid it though.

That's fantastic. My Mum carries her own as she drinks herbal tea, lovingly referred to as 'orrible tea by the family.

I might buy that for her.

YANBU, the only real tea is Lyons. I couldn't even bothered drinking any other type.

We’re tea snobs in this house (trust me, we are the opposite of snobs in everyday life!) but we drink Jing loose leaf. I don’t take it with me, I’d have to take something to make it in so I just don’t bother having one and make one when I get home :)

Ps milk in tea is blasphemy!

I don’t see why you shouldn’t.

I used to take my own to PiLs’ house, because I like my tea weak-ish, with no milk - teabag fished out of mug fairly quickly.

PiLs’ idea of tea, however, was a very strong potful made with leaf tea, and almost invariably stewed, so the tannin taste was incredibly strong.
They were never apparently at all offended, though. (Probably just thought I was weird but too polite to say so!)

I can't stand anything other than Yorkshire gold. I don't expect everyone to have it so I carry some in a little tub. Not weird at all!!
