Ha-ha!
I like my tea strong. Very little tea tastes good to me and I had a major search for another I liked when the one I favoured stopped being blended :( now I order it in bulk from a blender in the north of England :) as loose leaves and have teapots with built in strainer so I can remove the leaves when properly brewed. Yum, drinking some as I surf!

The mystery is how you guys in England destroy the tea taste by adding milk ... ;)

Where do you get your tea from Frank, I use loose tried many but remain slightly disappointed.

A tiny drop of milk takes away the bitterness.
A lot of milk ruins it, and I would prefer none to lots but I also don't like weak tea or any of the herbal infusions which some call tea but actually have no tea in them! I quite like camomile and red-bush but infrequently.
I like the smell of coffee but not the taste, but again can tolerate it if there is no milk anywhere near it!

Try this, it's one of my favorite blends and it makes your system sound much better, wider-deeper soundstage and all that. ;)



Do you add any 'sugar'?

Ringtons. This is the one which is closest to my old no-longer-available favourite:-
https://www.ringtons.co.uk/tea-c1/loose-leaf-c4/ringtons-breakfast-loose-tea-250g-p19

It used to be called deluxe-refreshing or something but they presumably decided it was too poncy a name for a northern supplier and changed it to just "breakfast" I get through about 40 packs a year.

I often think the reason tea is not more popular is the ubiquity of Liptons teas.
I like a robust refreshing tea not knat-piss.
:)

I must admit I don't drink tea regularly but my younger son (17) does. He drinks Twinings Early Grey mostly. Is it a good tea? :)

Earl Grey is a tea flavoured with Bergamot, a citrus fruit.
My wife drings it, I find it too perfumed but ok if mixed 50:50 with breakfast tea, which tends to be more robust.
The Twinings brand is fine ime, unlike Liptons.

Uf, he'll hate me if I tell him he drinks tea for chicks so I'll just start buying breakfast tea for him. :D
