Tea

right basically its like this; tea is wicked, the best drink in the world and is fundamentally one of the best things about being alive, it has to be said.

In celebration of this fantastic drink, i thought i would start a thread in order to get some idea of people's favorite varieties/blends and just generally respect the leaf.

Would'nt it be wonderful if they made alcoholic tea? does anyone know if it exists?

So yeah, whats your fave blend, do you know of any weird varieties, and isnt tea just fantastic? :thumb: :D

    Mainly a coffee man myself, but when I fancy tea it's usually just a PG Tips with a small bit of milk in.
    Sometimes if I'm feeling a bit fruity I have an Earl Grey.

    Although I don't hate tea, I only drink it when my throat is sore or something.

    I never used to drink tea, but tastes change with time, makes a change from soft drinks

    I sometimes wish I did. I get the feeling it would solve so many of life's problems. :p

    Tea is indeed fantastic. As for alcoholic tea, I don't believe it exists, but that's nothing a bit of pure ethanol won't fix.

    Typhoo is my most favourite. I drink gallons of the stuff and it has to be strong. Some tea bags make it like pee water :yuck:

    That would usually be the own-brand varieties from supermarkets.

    Can't say I'm surprised! However, it's not as if there's a tea shortage down in Cardiff.

    Beats some of the tea we've had. Last year, my mum bought some tea bags from Aldi. Possibly the worst tea I have ever had.

    Brave statement to make in a tea thread. Coffee's okay, but I still prefer tea.

    zella
    Lond island ice tea

    zel thats cheating!

    that is;

    *cola
    *vodka
    *tequila
    *rum
    *gin
    *triple sec
    *lemon juice in the top to disguise the alcoholic smell.

    its an american prohibition drink designed to look like iced tea and include as many spirits as possible so schnidey drinkers can operate as quickly as possible.

    no tea involved, but i think you knew that already ;)
