Clipper 'normal' tea
A box of Jasmine leaf tea
Chamomile
Clipper pure green tea bags
and er... that's it!

rh

Yep look like I have a bit of a Clipper fetish there

My mum brings her tea with her. Fair enough cant get a good cup of Lyons tea over here. . she brings a large box tho so I get to keep teh rest

Twinings Organic English Breakfast, Twinings Lady Grey.

See I would love to try Lyons tea, evokes images of 1940s tea houses

tarantula
my pal's mum used to travel with box of Nambarry (?) irish tea, in her handbag to visit him!

rh are you having Brief Encounter moment there?...

dragonfly white tea (ponce alert)
green tea with jasmine
peppermint
detox tea (some poncey weird brand)
ginger tea
tesco finest
clipper green tea

I'd say you were a semi ponce like me !

i'm going to step up to the mark and shamelessly proclaim:

PG Tips

I used to be a fruit tea ponce but now I can't be bothered.

Clipper organic normal tea
Clearspring organic Japanese green tea (my favourite)
Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime
Twinings Lady Grey
Dragonfly Organic Swirling Mist White Tea (my second favourite)
Cotswold Health Mate tea (loose)
Waitrose organic green tea with Jasmine
Waitrose peppermint tea (for when I don't have any fresh mint)
St James green tea with honeybush infusion
St James green tea with nana mint
Clipper china green tea (loose)
Clipper white tea with mint
Clearspring organic bancha (roasted green tea)
Clipper ayurvedic detox

I should probably have a bit of a clear out. I'm generally not keen on Clipper but I sometimes end up buying them when I can't get the one I really want.

Tetley.

PG Tips (DH& I are Tea Plebs)

but also camomile, peppermint and some dusty old orange-and-ginger ones

PIL always make a pot with three Clipper and one Earl Grey and it is rank.

Sainsbury's green tea
Swirling Mist white tea
English breakfast tea
camomile
Earl Grey
and a tub of weird fruit tea stuff from Whittards

Tiempe, if you come round for tea you can bring your own, i won't mind in the least

fairtrade, earl grey, 'sleep' tea that mum gave me that looks and tastes a bit like a posh compost heap, aged camomile tea bags that no-one really likes, green tea with jasmine.

My parents had been coming here for years before they actually said 'we can't wait to get home for a decent cup of tea'!

Ooh, MrsB drinks PG and she is famous for her good taste, so ...ner..

Mine are like this Hairy, they bring a reproachful little tupperware of Yorkshire Tea (blech, it doesn't go with London water) when they visit

We have

Clipper Organic Fairtrade tea
Rooibos 11 o'clock tea
Verveine-menthe from France
Twinings Peppermint Tea
A box of organic Darjeeling, can't remember what brand off-hand

Scottish Blend

Just buy a very trad looking caddy and fill it with your normal fairtrade. Tell her its PG or Tetleys - whichever she doesn't usually get so she doesnt realise its the wrong shape.

I have lots of herbals from when DH was off caffeine, plus decaf & normal... I would buy fairtrade but DH does most of the shopping now and can't resist bargains, so we're currently working through several large boxes of 100% extra free Yorkshire Gold.

tetley.

all the rest are herbal teas because i'm pregnant and can't just mainline tetley all day.

my tea:
300 bags of earl grey (mistaken overpurchase but am getting through it)
rose pouchong
lady grey
lapsang souchong

dp tea:
williams earl grey

mystery tea which nobody drinks:
6 x assorted herbals
1 christmas blend
1 x green earl grey

marina ..can see that being the next stage..and the water too...i get that
does she insist on telling you every time kettle is on (frequently when they visit) that she tried a herbal once and bleuch..& pulls toddler face for food horror....
