Cuppa Tea!

[LittlleMy]

So just a little lightheartedness on this drab Sunday morning in the West Mids 🙂☔️

I’d like to know your morning brew! And also to know if you have a favourite cup, brand of tea and if you have a pic to upload even better! (My guilty secret is teacup/mug hoarder 😅).

So my fave cup is a V&A Alice in wonderland decorated with gold leaf no less! Ridiculously costed but I had a voucher so all good. Fave tea is loose leaf Yorkshire and as you’ll see from my pic, I like it strong!

@CinnamonCinnabar ooh yes thanks that’s a perfect match for my cup - don’t be enabling me though, I’m meant to be in recovery! 😅

This always makes me smile, but I'm an Earl Grey drinker myself, so no milk for me!

@TherebytheGraceofGodgoI aw cute pair chicken cups - for the morning cuppa!

Oh I'll stick the kettle on.

Whichever cup is clean suits me fine....

Tea please, milk no sugar for me!

My son keeps buying new mugs but I stick to these plain white ones he got from home bargains. My least favourite are these easter ones he got with bunnies built into the handle that stick out and hit me in the glasses! My favourite tea is sainsburys red label extra strong, strong, milky and no sugar. My husband only really drinks tassimo Americano so never makes me a tea but my son does

@ColinCaterpillarsNo1Fan Bone China keeps the tea stay hotter for longer

I did not know that!

@LadyMonicaBaddingham Ha! Yes that’s my full-bodied colour!

And I’ll take mine the colour of He-Man - no sugar!

disappointing tea currently, twinings every day,
it needs a long brew but has a strange taste.
i am determined we have to get used to it until we go back to yorkshire
bone china cup

I bought this "breakfast mug" (who knew that was even a thing?) at Kensington Palace because I love the shape. I use it for the first cup at the weekend or an oversize cup and saucer but that's in the dishwasher. I have a pot-bellied mug for weekday mornings which keeps tea hot while I'm getting ready.

I'm very fussy about which mug I use in the mornings but I'm less precious in the evening. Not least because all my many mugs pass [my] muster 🙂

Yorkshire Tea. No sugar. Strong but a bit more milk than you'd think.

@Katemax82 aww bless your son! Yes Sainsbury’s Red Label is pretty damn good!

@RevolutionHere hang on in there - you’re in my thoughts! ☕️♥️

@CharlotteStreetW1 thanks for sharing - especially love your breakfast cup, so pretty!

How nice that so many are responding to you idea OP, thanks.
My first cup of the day is milky but strong Tetley, 2 bags in small pot. Mug is decorated with Charlecote Bird.
Used to get up early, insomnia and wfh. Answering email at 6.00am. I needed that tea.

Yorkshire tea, any mug as long as its china. Also brought to me in bed this morning by my lovely DH

And if anyone were in any doubt of my commitment to all things tea, the pic below is of a collectors cup I use to store snacks in and always attracts comments. I keep it in the corner of my (luckily, for now anyway) large kitchen!

Enormous mug (think joke sized, usually with a male slogan such as ‘big daddy’, no SportDirect isn’t big enough), of tetleys, allowed to brew slightly too long, with a healthy glug of milk, being made 20 mins before I intend to drink it by DH. I’ll v often have the same before bed too.

In the office I will usually have a Stanley cup of mint tea (any brand) which seems far more acceptable ..

Photo taken from another source but this is my tea mug for the piggie fans out there.😍

Yes, a nice bit of cathartic nonsense to kick start our Sunday morning! ☺️☕️

Mine is Asda Extra Special Colombian instant, using my Salter milk frother jug.
They manufacture for hotel chocolates and it’s the same as their velvetiser
in a porcelain pint mug

@AbzMoz ooh, I’m too much of a delicate flower to be able to chug such a volume that early!

@BlueandPinkSwan aww sweeet!

Lovely thread for a Sunday OP
Enjoy your Cuppa

Im a Yorkshire tea lass through and through and has to ideally be in a Poppy Treffry mug, I’ve been collecting them for years since finding her shop locally (unfortunately now closed, but she’s still online). Im currently sipping tea from my most recent purchase of St Michael’s Mount mug. (When DSis comes to stay I hide them all as she’s chipped and broken so much on my china I don’t trust her with it anymore).

@uncomfortablydumb60 that does sound and look good 🙂
