    Yorkshire tea, strong, with milk. Sometimes 2 sugars, sometimes none.

    Tetley all the way, brewed up nice and strong in the teapot and then with a dash of milk.

    I've been known to drink 10+ cups of tea in a day, I don't know how other people cope with life without it :razz:

    I have typhoo decaf tea (can't drink normal tea as the caffeine gives me heart palpitations!), with the teabag left in and a bit of soya milk

    I swear my boyfriend is addicted to cups of tea. It's funny. He stops what he's doing when he's hanging with mates and goes to put the kettle on. Recently I've been drinking a lot of it because of him. I have a cup of tea right next to me in fact. I'm trying to up my levels of sugar to try and go extreme. So far I'm on 4 sugars in a cup of tea :hyper:

    I drink Tetley, a normal amount of milk with a sweetener. About 4/5 cups a day.

    I find normal tea quite boring, I'm quite a fan of Chai tea with its spices, or the smoked Assam tea is a good afternoon tea too.

    PG Tips, Tetley, Ringtons or even Asda own brand, medium strength with milk and no sugar. I drink 4/5 mugs a day
    I like green tea too but I haven't had any for ages.

    :yes:
    I love Jasmine tea,
    Not a fan of peppermint tea though, tastes like you're drinking toothpaste!:yuck: Don't really like the other Twinings herbal tea's either, such as lemon and ginger e.t.c

    PG Tips. I have about half water, half milk so it's very milky and just about warm. Just how I like it. :yum:

    I like flavored rooibos tea, such as belgian chocolate, vanilla, peach, carmel, chai... with about a teaspoon of honey

    Tea Beliefs

    I believe the best tea is made by leaving the bag and NOT poking it.

    Tea pot tea is probably better, but very few have the patience for that!

    My dear friend, who doesn't drink tea, is always slightly scared when she makes me a cup of tea, I think she thinks I'll eat her if it's not quite right - tis not true though:)

    Do you allow yourself any form of intoxicant at all?

    PG Pyramid bags are the best, nice and strong with a little milk. I used to have sugar but now i go without.

    It depends on the type, if its dark proper chocolate then yes, it can be.

    I just think it a little strange, the urge for intoxication is natural and has been prominant in every society.

    *shrugs* Don't know what to tell you. I love playing sport because I get a lot of adrenaline. Does that make you feel better?

    I'm not saying you are wierd or anything, I just have never met anyone who didnt at least use caffiene.

    But then its a personal choice, I wouldnt knock you for not using an intoxicant and hopefully you wouldnt knock me for using one.
