I have Yorkshire tea, Early Grey (Waitrose, I think), and Twinnings white tea and their "Calm". I like a few herbal blends, but as I don't drink them very fast usually find that the one I like is no longer is stock and I have to try out several nasty ones before I find one I like. My mother has converted entirely to Rooibos, which I think tastes weird (almost but not quite like IYSWIM)

Not sure if i should add mine.

My tea is tesco's own brand or PG Tips.

I do have a box of twinning green tea which drink occasionaly.

I've no idea who Dr Stuart is, but he makes some lovely herbal teas. The tranquility really makes me fee instantly relaxed. I hope the detox has the same effect.
My dp drinks the detox by the bucket at the moment. He should be thouroughly detoxed by now . You don't want to know what happened to him when he was going through his green tea phase...

im affraid its pg tips
but mainly nescafe (dont drink tea)

Parents and ILs always liked Lyons Red Label. We like Ceylon for breakfast, Lady Grey otherwise and have a selection of fruit teas. We do not make any tea strong enough for them.

my Mum only drinks green tea, Dad and dh will drink anything 'normal' so it's twinings yellow box at the moment, and everyone hates my chai tea. Also chamomile for bed time.

I have just one lot of tea in at a time, which is most usually Yorrkshire decaffinated tea.

Caffine affects my heart too much - give smy tachycardia and palpatations, so decaff only here. Also for most of the coffee here too.

I have green tea in for when my sister visits. I hate it. Have tried it three times and on each occasion it made me physically sick. Not bothering again!

Hulababy · 08/11/2007 21:04

Sainsburys seems to have stopped doing their Fairtrade Decaff tea.

ha! just seen hairyirene;s comment re lancashire tea i used to always buy yorkshire tea, as it makes a good strong cup, i like builder's tea. orange , boiling hot, loads of sugar ! and then i saw lancashire tea, and i thought seeing as i am from lancashire , i should give it a whirl.. it tastes nothing like hotpot !!!!

HairyIrene · 09/11/2007 17:03
