Calling posh folk - can anyone recommend a really nice leaf tea?

[lummox]

please?

Got given some lovely Ceylon tea but it is all finished. Afternoons just aren't the same without it.

my favourite is assam or kenyan. kenyan is very strong, i have it with milk. i also like earl grey which i have without milk
kenyan for breakfast, assam for everyday and earl grey for a thirst quencher

oops just re-read thread title and you wanted posh folks - not me then

ooh, but obviously a tea fan, which is even better than posh.

are there any particular leaf teas that you have liked?

you mean brands?

lapsang is nice,but not to everyones taste and love Earl Grey

i fyou are really keen find a nice teahouse and ask for a selection

Twinings breakfast loose leaf is very nice

Thanks for that fruitymum. Will give it a go.

MAS - lapsoung is one that I don't like. Too smokey I think. Thank you though.

Nailpolish - I was thinking some sort of independent tea sellers, but live in France so can't very easily get to a tea house. Had a fond hope of being able to order something online.

lummox ill see if my shop in edinburgh delivers
they are china tea sellers but have some indian teas too

they have a website!

That is fantastic. Thank you. Have ordered some Ceylon BOP (Nuwara Eliya).

Not a leaf tea but have just discovered Tick Tock tea. It's yum and no caffeine

For something terribly posh (mwah mwah darling) try Fortnum and Mason Orange Pekoe. Lovely

oh lummox
There is a divine tea shop down the rd from me called orange pekoe

I will bring you some of my faves
and the big tea bag pouch things in which to put them!

btw did you get my email re date?

I did CD - sorry, been a bit hectic. That date is fine. Will email. Tea would be wonderful - guess you will have a bit of room in the car on the way out!

boo - will check out the Fortnums one next time I get some time off in the big city.

I have tea direct tea bags for when we can't be bothered with a whole pot malarky if it is just me and dilmah for when we are both having it and fancy a bit of ritual.

Am not posh but like really nice tea.

Oh I drink it without milk though so may be I am after different flavours.

(LL - you strike me as so organised but ibn an off the wall kind fo way and I wanted to steal your ways and started a thread about setting and achieving goals in the sheer hope that you would post on it- but you did not)

Bettys in Harrogate do delicious tea and they sell it online:

BBbee - - I didn't see it! Link or bump (I'm just off out but will check later)

Hey lummox, sod the tea, look at this!!!

Good grief! My last win was a bottle of Head and Shoulders from a competition in Just 17.

Am astonished.

Just off for a cup of tea.

A celebratory one

(LL (I don't recognise you like that!) - here is my thread!
