What tea you using OP?

They can very so much, I like my hot and strong but not too full

I like it strong but milky if that makes sense with the teabag left in the cup and no sugar.

I'm using lyons teabags at the moment, I use to buy Barry's tea but swapped cause I like the triangle teabags more.

funny thing is, I've been a coffee drinker for many years and now I find myself making tea -

Ye that makes sense I once was like that too! Leads to too much confusion...'but I thought you liked lots of milk'....'I do but I still like it strong' :mad:

Was going to move this to the tea and coffee forum, but can't find it, then I went and made tea. mmmm, tea.

There's nothing more manly than dipping a raw steak into a big mug of black tea.

I love saying "I'm sweet enough already" when people offer sugar.

I mean, it's a fúcking annoying thing to say and I hate it when people say it... but I enjoy the irony.

There is never enough tea...

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tar.Aldarion · 25-01-2011 10:07PM

i'd say there is just that much so that it can disseminate faster with a bigger surface area, but if you leave it in longer it would be too strong, basically too much but because it is a convenience?

Thomas828 · 25-01-2011 10:19PM

Yes, there is. That's why I use loose leaf tea. Half a teaspoon of that, two litres of boiling water, let it stand for 15 minutes and Bob's your uncle.

It's right beside the Biscuit Forum, in between the Sugar and the Coffee Forums.

Did anybody else do the brown sauce in tea thing after seeing "Intermission"? They go on about how gorgeous it is so much in the movie that I just had to try it. My brother refused, saying it sounded rancid, but I was keen to prove him wrong.

It was rancid.

I know you will all think I'm making this up, but about seven years ago I heard about someone .. that actually, ordered coffee with a full Irish.

Cross my heart

Maybe they were making it up, but someone I know witnessed this happening and I have no reason to doubt them whatsoever.

While watching Vicent brown on the tv3 website and after making a cup of tea and leaving the tea bag in the cup,

Do you normally watch Vincent Brown teabagging online?

hondasam · 26-01-2011 01:03AM

strong black and no sugar.

Cheap Thrills! · 26-01-2011 01:06AM

No, no, definitely not. Unless you buy Aldi teabags then yes.

It's got to be Lyons, nice and dark, dunked plenty of times.

Touch of milk.

Tae. Must scald the gums off ya. :pac:

That's just..........:( sick!!

You....you take that back, that didn't happen..........:(:eek

Its a little known fact that most of the major brands teabags that you can get in a supermarket are in fact 2 cup tea bags. This is the traditional format of a tea bag for sale. One can buy 1 cup tea bags also. These are often attached to a string but can come in the regular square shape too. I believe that they are only normally available to those with access to a cash and carry for use in staff canteens etc.
In these recessionary times I hope that in future you hang on to that teabag for your next cuppa, for extremely heavy duty tea drinkers this can make a small contribution towards paying that universal social charge.

I'm telling you, it was seen.

Now, maybe there was some reason for it, the person might have recovering from a brain injury or something, but sure as hell - with that Full Irish, toast and all, he washed it down with a coffee.

The worst of it was, there was children sitting close by.

Now, I'm as opened minded as the next guy, but that's just sick - doing that kind of thing with young innocent impressionable minds around is just twisted, I just hope that one day he doesn't have kids of his own.

Whats your favourite humming noise OP?

Goldenegg · 26-01-2011 01:36AM

I sometimes leave my tea bag in the cup while drinking it, using the tiniest dribble of milk. Once it starts to resemble the thickness and colour of tar, I am a happy bunny!

Numb.Muzik · 26-01-2011 01:39AM

tea is for squirrels

REAL men drink shkiny latas

Goldenegg · 26-01-2011 01:43AM

Remember the film intermission?
Colin Farrell and his brown sauce in his tea?
Just wondering has anyone ever tried it? My OH tried it for the laugh (although I think it's pretty sad) years ago and he said it all clumps together and just rises to the top. Rotten!

brain injury like 'pretentious celticus tigericous'

There's no real excuse.

I hope all who witnessed this travesty got therapy and counselling.

I fear for our children *weeps*

On second thoughts, and another combination, two bags one cup might be a bit too strong, unless they're a couple of old bags.

Is this a new video?

Try 2 cup teabags, for real men and the butch lesbians

There's definitely not too much tea in a tea bag, if anything there's not enough. Lyons Red and Barrys Red seem to be the strongest tea bags, they're perfect. I really hate it when I have tea in a cafe and they use sh1tty teabags that make tea that's like slightly brown water

Adyx · 26-01-2011 06:07AM

Tea is shite. That is all.

Yeah, fcuk you the rest of Ireland

dubtom · 26-01-2011 11:25AM

Only usually drink tea with a fry up,leave the bag in the cup for a few minutes, drop of milk,yum. I have never,and I mean never,manged to make a second cup to finish the fry that tastes as good as the first.

RichieC · 26-01-2011 11:40AM
