Careful Maggie, Tea is full of "Oxalates" and are not good for Kidney Stones,Apparently "Herbal Teas are low in it and make a good alternative to ordinary Tea.**M** |

Being a pleb, I've never been bothered about 'scented' teas, and for choice, I like a good 'builder's' tea. Don't really care what the make is, as long as it can produce strong tea in a short time, with milk and 2 sugars. :-D |

DH drinks tea.. made in a pot. There's a filter in the pot, to put the tea in, so no need for a tea strainer and he doesn't get a mouthful of tealeaves. |

True enough Merlin but how much is a reasonable bottle of single malt? Def. a better sensory experience than any tea. |

I think it was Jacksons of Piccadilly that did a very nice English breakfast tea? but the main thing is not whether the milk goes in first ( it does) it's the water.... the difference between a cup of tea in a hard or soft water area is significant. |

Long ago it must be I cut my business teeth working for a tea & coffee broker at Hay's Wharf, Pool of London, then the ground zero of tea in England. I learned a thing or two, how to trade and of course how to set up tea tasting with all the rows of samples, spittoons and such. I also learned a great deal about tea. |

Two or three times a week I get to look after my very aged parent. For those visits I currently have Twinings Assam which for a box of 50 bags £ 2 (Tesco) doesn't strike me as especially expensive. It is not bad and I even take a splash of milk but no sugar. |

I don't like tea, but it would be interesting to see how many people would pick this expensive cuppa out as being the best taste from half a dozen different unnamed brands. |
