I like tea but I drink coffee, and my partner, while not British, does drink Lady Grey.
We were a country of coffee drinkers before we were a country of tea drinkers.
Hot leaf water has its uses. As a social ritual it helps break up that initial moment of awkwardness when guests arrive.
I kinda get what you mean. Everytime someone comes over I always offer some cofveve. I never used to but I started after I began watching the sopranos, they always offer a pot. Just because Tony is a murdering thug doesn't mean he's impolite to house guests.
It is way too early in the morning to laugh as hard as I just did.
Get outa here. I love tea.
I drink loose leaf and builder tea. Each have their place.
what's builder tea like in a bag?
Builders tea is (cheap) english breakfast in a tea bag.
Often served very strong with a lot of suger, and a bit of milk.
Can you get it any other way? I'm referring to PG tips / Yorkshire Tea / Tetley etc.
I have had loose tea that you have to prepare with a little steeping ball and tea in teabags I just have never heard of 'builder's tea'. it doesn't sound like a brand so what does it mean?
edit: i gave up and googled it, now i understand, i usually drink my builder's tea without milk or sugar!
It's what Brit's call bog-standard supermarket teabags.
Na, builder's tea is just very strong tea, like leaving the (bog-standard supermarket) tea bag in there for about ten minutes
That just sounds like a normal tea to me!
Is it still builder's if you add the milk at the latter part of the steeping?
On the one hand if that's a normal tea then you're an absolute builder, on the other I don't think any builder would ever call brewing the tea "steeping"!
Lister of smeg? Is that you?
Yes princess, won't you join me in this tent?

You are older than you feel.
This community never appears in the list when I try to do a crosspost.
I've had the same problems. I suspect the name being short and common in other words leads to the suggests getting buried out by other communities.
I might see if expanding the display name helps.
Millennial here, not a fan. Like, I'll drink it if I'm outside and freezing cold, but otherwise I'd rather just have a water.
I don't dislike tea, but I don't love it either. Just don't really see the point, I don't need the caffeine.
Years ago I did drink tea, (but mostly cos everyone else was) but it was never typhoo. Never even tried it. Yorkshire gold was my brand.
I drink loose leaf tea at home because it's easier to prepare, just add hot water and it's ready.
isn't that all tea
Hang on, I’m old but I’ve always thought it was vile.
I’m 38, I’ve never liked tea.
there are so many flavours to explore with tea and tisanes.
Millennials just keep killing stuff.
What the fuck you on about? We're the old people now!
Yeah, true. But that won’t stop the media blaming us for killing shit we can’t afford.
We’re old, but we’re still poor. Coming of age during a once-a-century recession followed by crippling austerity measures does that to a generation.
We're getting to the age where our generation will start controlling the media, then we can start pushing the blame on the real culprits, Gen Alpha!
