Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 Get yourselves some Welsh tea, Glengettie. Better than Yorkshire Tea. Stronger. Great brew. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00AHFX17C/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1468358817&sr=8-1&keywords=glengettie+teaπ=SY200_QL40
onekeithweller Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 SKIP THIS POST IF YOU HAVE A DELICATE CONSTITUTION. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! My wife was a nurse and on a home visit a patient gave her tea (brand is irrelevant in this case), water, Carnation Milk and sugar boiled up in a pan on the stove. Sorry if you feel ill but I did warn you.

I didn't think there was anything better than Yorkshire tea, but I'm tempted to invest in some of this. Thanks for the recommendation
Osavo Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 Big fan of Yorkshire Tea and Tetley. Dislike PG Tips, always find it incredibly weak, and can't stand Twinings, might as well drink dust. Also, gotta be milk before water for me. Not a popular view but just feels right. Makes a stronger cup too imo.
Xen Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 PG Tips 2.5 sugars in the mug (2 is acceptable) Teabag in Boiling water Stir Squeeze teabag and bin Bit of milk (not too milky though, ruins it) Stir Drink * *Alternatively, leave it to cool down for a minute first, then promptly forget about it until 45 minutes later when it's cold, then take a drink anyway despite the fact you know its going to be awful, on the off chance that some sort of bizarre localised thermal vacuum established itself in the immediate area around your mug and it stayed warm. If having it with biscuits (digestive, obviously) I normally skip on the sugar, or put in 1 max.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 I pour milk in afterwards personally. I had a nice cuppa this morning (Yorkshire Tea), letting it brew for 3-5mins really makes the difference in my opinion. I do tend to alternate between Tetley and Yorkshire. I've learned over time on how to make better tea. Experience over years I suppose!
TiffToff88 Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Tetley's at home, Yorkshire Tea at work. Always white, no sugar
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Ooooh, nice shout. I didn't think there was anything better than Yorkshire tea, but I'm tempted to invest in some of this. Thanks for the recommendation Interestingly I was looking at some reviews of Glengettie yesterday and saw that someone suggested that the water 'type' is important with different tea blends. We have soft water in South Wales whereas I always recall my shock at seeing limescale in kettles etc when I lived in Leicester through hard water. Never get that here. So a caveat might be whether tea blends are suited to water hardness? Glengettie is normally rich and strong here.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Yeah I have the hard water version of Yorkshire Tea, works great for me.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Yorkshire tea do a hard and soft water version. Didn't know that. Ta.
Nick Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 I'm betting Finners has opened this thread and can't face posting due to level of tea ignorance and deviancy. The last time we had a thread like this the thought of pg and 2 with milk made 'a little bit of sick come into his mouth'
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 I have noticed Yorkshire Tea seems stronger than Tetley. Both nice all the same though. Keep the votes/comments coming in, all are welcome. Genuinely interested in what we all drink whatever it might be
Adster Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 what was the reason they gave if you don't mind me asking? Yeah that's not a problem Stan. I had multiple UTI's because of Kidney Stones, which was caused by drinking too much Caffeine. Doctor told me to lay off stupid amounts of tea. To be fair they were right.
StanSP Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Yeah that's not a problem Stan. I had multiple UTI's because of Kidney Stones, which was caused by drinking too much Caffeine. Doctor told me to lay off stupid amounts of tea. To be fair they were right. Oh wow fair enough. How much tea/coffee do you drink now, or have you cut back totally?
Adster Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Oh wow fair enough. How much tea/coffee do you drink now, or have you cut back totally? I never really thought it'd be an issue but when thinking about it in the sense whilst I was at Uni (bored) for 3 years I drank at least 10 cups of tea a day, everyday. That's a lot of tea! I drink an absolute maximum of 3 a day now, normally it's just one in the morning, and one after I've finished work now.
MPH Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 I'll tell you what type of tea i DON'T drink... Cold tea. with ice. no milk. Consider it blasphemous myself but they seem to like that crap over here. i'm campaigning for the ' anything as long as its hot' option to be added!!
Finnegan Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 And there it is. I try to live up to expectations where I can
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 I had a lukewarm tea earlier, I will learn .
