I'd have a crack at that now...I do not think that this helps very much with Pub Life!

SameYorkshire Tea
I used to love drinking tea and not too fussed about coffee but after Covid, I now dislike tea and enjoy drinking coffee. Mind you Yorkshire not really my bag or tea bag. Years ago I always made tea in a tea pot with loose tea. I preferred Earl Grey, brewed reasonably strong and allowed to brew in the po,t always had milk in the bottom of the cup or mug, Lapsang souchong black tea was another favourite of mine also always with milk first in the cup or mug and non of that skimmed rubbish either and preferably full fat Gold Top mmmmmmYorkshire Tea
I'll drink it! As a proud English man (well, Cornish man really) I love a good cuppa, and not being a booze drinker my taste buds appreciate a fine brew.We won a freebie recently in a french supermarket give away , The check out operator made a big thing about going and collecting our big prizeIsent the wife to collect it ....turns out it was a box of earl grey that neither of us drink

Yorkshire tea is blended specifically for the mineral composition of the water in/around Harrogate, which I believe is quite soft (low mineral content). It can taste very peculiar in areas with hard water or water with a very different mineral composition.For general tea drinking its got to be PG. Tetley is weaker than a politicians promise, Yorkshire is stronger but tastes rank.
For more special cuppas I like a nice Darjeeling, or even a Chinese white tea now and again.
Are You sure that you are English, Cornwall was a Celtic country and a Welsh language was spoken through out Cornwall until only a short time ago in history being compressed into the end of the peninsular only 200 years before we were born. Could be that you are Cornish but may be of Brittonic or heredity unless an invader or migrant from other parts that could be from England Breton France Norse, Norse Irish.I'll drink it!

I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense. Every day is a school day!Yorkshire tea is blended specifically for the mineral composition of the water in/around Harrogate, which I believe is quite soft (low mineral content).
