I find there's no difference between the tea I drink in teabags or loose. I even cut open a teabag to inspect it and visually it's the same stuff.
Yorkshire tea, Tetley's etc are all just blends of tea. The same as most teas. If you happen to find you particularly like them then I don't see why people have a problem with it. Perhaps it's the same way with whisky purists. You know the people who wax lyrical about how they like a particular obscure single malt, and pour scorn on anyone who drinks Bells or puts coke in it? Why someone should be mortally offended by what someone else drinks is beyond me. The only way that it's in any way acceptable is if someone is trying to help someone get more enjoyment from it, most of the time it just comes off as someone trying to look refined. |

I usually just grab tea from the local store. Earl Grey, Green Tea, Lemon Tea and Chai are my faves but there are SO many good teas. yum! Make sure you get a pot, it makes tea nicer I swear.

Right now I'm drinking loose leaf oolong my mother in law sent me from Santa Fe. She bought it in a small Japanese tea shop. The label is is Japanese so I don't know the brand, but its great tea.

My favourite favourite teas are single estate loose large leaf Assams - there's a couple that Whittard does which I really like - Orangajuli for a slightly stronger, malty flavour; and Harmutty for a bit more refreshing taste. My everyday tea is a blend - Twinings Every Day teabags. And I sometimes make my own blends - usually from Assams and Ceylons - especially if I'm making masala chai. |

I've ordered some Orangajuli, which is what I believe I looked at previously. They have free delivery at the moment if you order over £20. |

Douglas Adams hits the nail on the head with boiling water vs boiled water. In America I don't often get a nice cup of tea.
One place I do get a very, very enjoyable cardboard cup of tea is Joe Muggs in Books a Million. They sell "Republic of Tea" tea, and the British Breakfast is very pleasant with whatever water they're using. |

Re: Halk IMHO: Teabags - ASDA Organic Teabags. You can actually smell tea and feel the taste despite it is in teabags. Another good one is regular Lipton teabags if you can find it (probably only in T&K Maxx or souvenir shops). If you are feeling more adventures then nothing can be compared to loose tea --->Nothing but Tea Good range of blue teas (oolong), white teas such as Georgian Old Lady etc. My latest addiction is Black tea flavoured with almonds ![]() |
