Saneseeker | 5 comments I'm British but lived on the continent for a while and really missed a strong cuppa with milk and sugar. The best tea I've tasted was in India...

While I was working with turkish batallion ( as interpreter for sfor units), we were often drinking turkish tea(caj). A very strong black one , served in a small glass, only cubes of sugar added..

Nants | 1 comments I live in Canada :o) and cannot bear to think of life without tea! LOL! I have one right now! My favourite tea is assam. Several years back, we did have a Marks and Spencer in our (smallish) city and I used to get their Extra Strong tea. This tea spoiled me for most other teas! While I no longer can get the M & S tea here, I can buy a loose, Assam tea which is very, very lovely! I do like my tea strong and milky. Am not a huge fan of flavoured teas, herbal teas, etc. How about you? What is your favourite kind of tea?

Saneseeker | 5 comments I don't consider herbal infusions as tea at all - I like them but I consider them a completely different drink. Only the tea leaf from the tea bush makes tea. There's thread for favourite teas Nancy - check it out...

Kittydreadful | 2 comments this is an old tread but I want to add that I am from Germany. as for tea... my parents are from Turkey so I grew up with Ceylon black tea. only leaves and brewed freshly. tea bags are a no go. personally I love green tea from Japan, too. and no sugar or milk that ruins the taste of the tea (no offense to anyone British, we all have different tastes :-)

Leah Lindeman (leahtlind) | 1 comments I am not British but Canadian. I think that the British tradition of tea is such a romantic notion. I don't usually drink a lot of tea, and when I do I am not reading a book. I should try it!


message 11: by Sam (new)

Sam (ecowitch) | 18 comments I'm Welsh and love my tea, prefer the Valleys way of having it very strong in a very large mug than the traditional way of cup and saucer but have recently acquired a teapot large enough to keep my mugs topped up nicely so kind of going for a half and half approach ;-)


message 12: by Agnese (new)

Agnese Hy, I'm from Latvia and guess what... I love tea :)

Anet, I'm not a fan of the tea-with-milk idea, but if that's what you love, drink on!
