    I tell ya, tea tastes BETTER out of a nice china cup rather than a nasty mug..(or a flask cup..ugggh)
    Whats your preference to drink tea-wise and what from?
    Tetley, Yorkshire Tea, and Punjana are mine.
    Cant abide the light scented teas like Chai etc..
    Do any of you still make a cuppa with tea leaves.

    You can't bate a strong cup of assam of an afternoon, for the mornings I like something a bit lighter, Lyons red label gets the day off to a good start. I wouldn't usually take leaf teas unless it's one of the unblended teas from the far east.

    We use tay leaves, grandmother would shoot us if we used anything else.
    makes better tea anyway. more room in the pot for the flavour to develop.
    Can't bate a big shteaming mug of tay.
    Or pronouncing it as tay.



    i do have my fave mug, will not drink tay out of anything else, nor will i drink anything but tay fromo my mug.

    A cup of Barry's Tea with 2 sugars and a nice dash of milk - can't be beaten.

    My preference would be Barrys Gold blend in my favourite mug

    it seems to retain the heat better than some other mugs.

    Although I have tasted Yorkshire Tea and I do quite like it.

    A big mug that is tarred up over the years gives the nicest cup of tea.

    Proper clean china. -> Mugs are for builders
    Proper fresh cold milk.
    Proper tea pot.
    Proper loose-leaf tea.

    Bewley's Assam and Darjeeling mix (the stuff in the orange box) with milk in my flowery Cath Kidston mug ftw. My mother claims that the invention of the mug marked 'the end of civilization' but tbh you can't beat a nice mug of tea! (IMO the starbucks 'trenta' is the end of civilization but that's a whole different story..)
