Tea!

banshee_bones

I am a firm believer that there is very little that a good cup of tea can't fix.
(Momentarily of course!) It always makes me feel better! Even better is when somone makes you a cup of tea, better yet when you didnt ask them to make it!
I think its one of lifes simple pleasures that is so often overlooked! I have a special mug i like to drink mine from aswell! So what type of tea makes you feel better in an instant? Is it black? Or do you prefer with milk and sugar? Or do you like Green Tea or Mint Tea?

I couldn't agree more! Nothing better than a milky cup of tea when it's lashing rain outside and you're all snuggled up. .........I think i'll go make a cup of tea.

swapple

barry's tea, 2 sugars and a bit of milk, a nice chocolate digestive, oh or a piece of cake! yum

banshee_bones

Barrys Gold Blend no sugar lots of milk and anything chocolatey to go with!


/goes off to put kettle on...

Irish people are well known for producing a cup of tea when somethings wrong

'Ran over the cat'... 'Sure you'll have a cup of tea'

'Failed my exams'... 'Sure you'll have a cup of tea'

'The missus will be wondering where I am'... 'Sure you'll have a cup of tea'

Tea is THE BEST!

Hot. Not to strong, not to weak, good splash of milk!

/also goes to put on kettle...

Tea is God.:cool: Small bit of milk with 2/3 spoons of sugar.

I love tea! In the morning it helps you to wake up (not the caffeine, just because it's nice!) and in the evening it helps you relax! Also it's great in this cold weather!

I'm thinking of creating a wifi kettle, so I can boil the kettle while on the computer, and then go into the kitchen when it is boiled!

BluesBerry

Tea is the bestest 2 teabags (Barrys gold blend) for the strength left for at least 5 mins and the teeniest drop of milk in favourite mug and a rich tea to dunk pure heaven

trout

Tea + Hobnobs. It's what they serve in heaven.

Luno

/Is it really bad that im excited by the thought of this!?

Cicero

wonderful when dealing with a hangover......real strong Tea, small bit of milk for me...no sugar....lots of dunkable bikies

Thomas828

Ooh, tea is my main vice! I drink it by the gallon, especially during the coldest winter nights. I usually make it very weak with a tiny amount of milk. When it comes to tea, I go for quantity rather than quality!

milly4ever

had to make an 'emergency' trip to dunnes to get nambarrie today-was drinking a weaker brand and it just tasted of warm water.

doctor evil

The best thing about a cup of tea is having something warm to hold in your hands.

I love dunking Twixxes into them, it is a fine art.

My diet during my college exams consists of 90% tea with no sugar and biscuits.
Cannot understand how people drink coffee to be honest.

Hehe, that's like me and my pancakes- everyday can be a Pancake day. (maybe it's because I was born on a Tuesday..)

Elessar

Nothing like a few good strong cups of tea the morning after a night out. M&S gold label is my most recent find and it is superb.

Jaysis I love tea.

Elessar

Is having a glorious cup of tea right now

banshee_bones

Was supposed to get my fix at 4pm but I couldnt

Guess il have to settle for some decaf later when I go home, or some mint tea..... getting too late to have any more caffeine today.... feeling a little jumpy at the moment....

Daffs

Tea, always a lover of the stuff. Then got into the loose stuff...Wow. Black, Earl Grey (when Hungover) and green..Yum Yum, no looking back

Is there such a thing as echinea tea? I've heard of it in drop and tablet form (it's yucky :P)

Has anyone tried that kit-kat thing? You suck the tea up through the kit kat or something? A kit-kat would be nice with tea anyway

Also a recent convert to M&S Gold label (fairtrade, too!) I thought nothing would beat Barry's gold label. Picked up a small packet from M&S out of necessity, to get me through an emergency. Boy, what a find! Great Stuff!

Kettle's on.

Twix is epic for this. Never tried it with a kitkat, me and a few friends tried it and twix is best!

Ave Sodalis

Tea before i go to school, tea when i come home, tea for homework, tea for after homework, tea at random times during the day, tea whenever i can have some:D

Lyons, not too strong but not weak, 2 sugars well stirred, and a got dropa milk.

I hate when people make the tea then throw in two spoons of sugar and had it to me so I normally make me own.

Sergeant

I lived in China for 8 months. One of the homes of tea. Pomp and ceremony. 300 different types.........


10 boxes of Barrys Gold Blend sent via DHL. Bliss.

Make sure you bring a teapot with you. You'll be hard pressed to find a shop in America that sells them. Also, bring a good supply of tea. I recommend Lyons, Punjana or Nambarrie.

Asphyxia

Oh I totally agree tea tea tea!!! I want a nice cup of tea now, No sugar just a little milk and some snack bars to dip in it bliss.

jd007

I'm havin a savage cup of tea right now with a few fig rolls. mmmmmmm

There is nothing in the world better, than a friend who brings you a cuppa.
At the minute I have the best mug ever.
I got it in a tea set from boots this Christmas.
It is basically a breakfast bowl with a handle.

I prefer Lyons. Down with those posh types and their Barry's tea!

I also adore fruit and herbal teas, the trick is to make them weak, and add honey and lemon. Cherry is my favorite.
Jasmine Green, Spicey white, Chai latte, Cocoa roobish, Morrocan Mint, Nettle and spearmint.
You just can't beat a nice cup of tea.

I adore! ADORE Chai Lattes! They are my special treat to myself when I am feeling down, my fav is the spice-chai latte from Mocha Beans in Galway... just can't beat it, starbucks is meh, butlers is good but mocha beans just rawks!

Got this three mint tea from georges arcade two weeks ago, its like three different types of mint tea infused together... the smell from the box alone is just YUM!

blissed out!
