I don't use milk to be honest, but i can understand it as we stick it in coffee as well. I like icetea myself. 3-4 bags in bottle, add sugar whatnot, hot water, leave until cooled, in fridge over night, yum.

You can rage about that caLLous, it was a serious post.

haha I love it -tea making is such a serious business
Off to make a brew of my favourite skimmed de-caff now and make some Easter nests with the kids.

Who the fuck uses a teapot? Really?

People with lots of friends who want tea at the same time

 

[cHodAX]

2 girls 1 pot?

Mugs. Kettle. Water in mugs.

Why use a pointless device to lengthen the process?

Twinings Earl Grey > all.

Don't understand why people arguing over language usage. Its a name. Not necessarily something from the dictionary

 

[Ormorof]

people actually own teapots?

:|

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I think tea purists swear by teapots. Ideally tea should not be made with absolutely boiling water.

Personally I just make my brew in the mug like most people.

 

[Chilly]

Teapots are good if you want to sit with a mate or two and have more than one cup. Ie if you have a proper tea service the cups will be fairly small - certainly not mugs - and so you'll probably want a second round. However, having said that - why not just make a mug and be done with it?

Meh. I prefer butlers.

 

[cHodAX]

Monkey butlers?

Forgot threads about work, religion, politics, chavs. Bring up the subject of tea and it all kicks off!

I would imagine that, with a teapot, you get better consistency and you can chuck a teacosy on it to keep it warm. It's also more economical; you would get more vile and disgusting flavour out of each teabag.

Mmmmm, vile.

My tea making process varies wildly depending on my mood and where I am. If I'm lazy I just stick a teabag in some boiling water in a mug and drink it whenever it's a drinkable temperature (don't bother taking the teabag out at all). Sometimes I add milk, sometimes milk and sugar, sor other times honey. My parents have all the good tea making apparatus so when I'm at home I use loose tea leaves, a teapot and a sieve.

Clipper Organic is much better as an everyday tea.

I drink a fuckload and by fortunate happenstance have a lot of like-minded friends who've all, independently, come to that decision on taste alone.


*brews*

Clipper is *awesome* ...and its also made from recycled lambs tears and kitten yawns or something so you can feel great (and smug) about yourself while you drown in it.

Sooo much pretentiousness. Unless you're spending shitloads of money on single crop Orange Pekoe picked by dusky maidens from the finest crop at high altitude (etc.), there's no point in arguing about the quality of the tea you're drinking, never mind how you prepare it. All tea bag tea (and I don't care if it says "organic" on the box or not), is blended crap, usually made up of the dust and shavings left over after picking. Tea bag tea is as far from "quality" tea as a bottle of Bells is to a nice Laphroaig. So with that in mind, there's not much point in getting picky about how its made (although milk first in a mug is gross).

1.) I Understand only about 50% of the words in your post
2.) Mmmm... yummy left over dust and shavings

Sooo much pretentiousness.

The use of clipper organic is a taste decision. They obviously use a better quality source than the monkey-advertised brand.

Who the fuck does that... it tastes much better when it's picked by trained monkeys ffs.

It's the diet-coke of tea.

Northerners talking about tea? Isn't that what you wretched savages call your dinner?

Zomg... it's Trebz...

WHERE ARE THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!!!!!

 

[TdC]

it's TWEBSSSS!!!!


also, Earl Grey has it's moments. And I have a tea pot. And tea should be made with water just off the boil. AND YOU'RE ALL WRONG

 

[Trebz]

I followed some link on facebook, was impressed by the shiny new forums, then got that warm glowing feeling when I realised you were still the bunch of opinionated fucks you've always been.

The perfect tea is from a pot, made with leaves, water just off the boil and a splash of milk. As I don't have time for that I drink pg tips and its hit and miss, but sometimes its worth the effort when you get that perfect temperature/strength/milk ratio cup o' char and all is well

Yep, it's flowery vile pisswater.

 

[Scouse]

B'jeesus. Trebz.

I'm going to prepare a brew in celebration
