    Sluuuuuuuuuuuurp.

    Barry's Green label tea bag, mug full of boiling water, good and strong with a drop of milk.

    Gave up sugar for lent 20 years ago, now I can detect 2 grains of the stuff in a cup.

    Just have to keep an eye on the aluminum build up over time.

    I gave up the sugar too, now I can't bear it!

    I'm another one. I've been skimping on the milk a bit lately too.

    Sugar in tea is a crime against the world!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,682 ✭✭✭confusticated


    Don't know why you'd put sugar in tea, is it not perfect enough that people have to go trying to improve on it?!

    I have a reflex now whereby I come in the door and flick on the kettle. I have also trained two friends to do the same. :pac:

    The boyfriend hates it though...don't really know what to do when he says no to my generous and frequent offers of tea...

    Tea is what will get us all through the recession*. That's how amazing it is.

    *apologies for using the "r" word

    I'm on Choice Earl Grey Organic tea, just delightful. Other than that, Lyons Gold Blend Reserve. A very small amount of sugar, maybe half a tea spoon or so and a drop o' milk. Pink wafer snack or penguin on the side. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,816 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I don't like the stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Hang on now and I'll put the kettle on .......

    Thats kind of ironic considering its value some time ago.

    Life without tea would not be worth living.

    On the rare occasions that I slip up and run out of teabags, I'm like a man posessed. Much as I love coffee as well, it just doesn't cut it as a replacement.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 another1


    People ....I am not a religious person but you're going too far...and all of these people that pressed the button for Thanks...
    Cup of tea won't fix a lot of things...Can't you think up something else to put you praise on...?!?"!

    I do drink more coffee than tea, but I have to have a cup of tea first thing in the morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,190 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    It's all the antioxidants I love in tea ,like I'm sure it's those little fellahs that's keeps me going ...:)

    Couldn't agree more. I could survive without sex, football or maybe even alcohol for 2 weeks but going a week without tea would definitely be impossible...I'm currently on my 9th cup of tea today which is about average...and yes a cup of tea does help with all the problems of the world!

    I went to New York for a week 6 months ago and the only thing I missed about Ireland was a proper cup of tea!

    Never caught the tea bug. Only drink it to get a break from the office for a few minutes.

    Yeah, tea is probably a lot healthier than coffee, but there's something about a good cup of coffee (arguably more evocative (?) than tea).

    Went through a phase where i quit coffee-drinking for tea (a health-conscious thing)- but back again drinking coffee.

    I tend to drink coffee when I am out having a meal either before, after , or both but at home am mainly a tea drinker ,at least 10 cups a day .( hate weak tea)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16 yeahsure


    ah jazus! i love a good cup of tea after a long day,been drinking it for years and have tried most brands,i finally settled on punjana,something about it just settles me!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    I love tea, I really do. My name evens starts with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I'm putting on the kettle right now.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
