With all the talk of tea in the threads, I was wondering how you take your tea.

I drink Twinings, namely: Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast, and Irish Breakfast. Some times just sugar, other times sugar with a splash of milk, and very rarely with just honey.

Typhoo with milk and 2 sugars :)

I think this is the perfect British answer to TO's booze ups and liquor threads :D

Don't know what tea, vary as whatever is cheaper really, the pyramic monkey ones are usual though. PG tips?
Milk and one sugar

So far, I don't know the two teas mentioned. Hmm, I'll need to pay attention to what is offered in the States. My wife is the tea drinker and the one who introduced me to tea and the one who buys it.

I'm trying to kick coffee, but I'm having a hard time with the caffeine withdrawl.

Strong tea (PG Tips by preference, but Yorkshire & Typhoo will do too), hot water - nothing else.

Guinness is my main tea in the States, usually on draught from a decent pub.

I had a Guinness the other day after having a Theakstons Old Peculier, in comparison the Guinness was vile. Try and find some Old Peculier :D

Cut the chatter Red 2 :)

Got to be Yorkshire Tea, proper strong and no sugar. Apply at least 8 times a day to maintain focus! We have Tetley at work and I have to put 2 bags in to make a proper cuppa.

Milk last too - milk was only put in first to save the china: in the 19th century china was too delicate to take boiling water hence the milk first.
