What are you drinking tonight?

Yorkshire 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 mmmmmm
 
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 prize :D Isent the wife to collect it ....turns out it was a box of earl grey that neither of us drink :cry:

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.

My daily, 3pm ritual consists of a tea pot of Pure Tippy Assam tea, served on a tray, with a small jug of full-fat milk and a couple of dunkable biscuits. :inlove:

Mrs Bav (not a tea drinker) refers to this as a "Toy Story tea party". :(
 
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.

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.
 
Yorkshire tea for me all day ( I drink a lot of tea typical builder :whistle: )
I tried a Yorkshire gold blend the other month hated it to much of a twang for my liking!
Oh and stronger the better for me if customers making I ask for the bag to be left in:thumbsup:

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.

Welsh was also spoken in The Lake district Cumbria, I can still remember farmers of the Lakeland counting sheep in Welsh that was in my life time and the Strathclyde area of Scotland spoke a form of Welsh also not sure when that stopped. If we open up a map there are many references to the Welsh Language throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

I do not think of myself as anything. Born in England but but even recent genealogy shows as it does in many, a more diverse ancestry than we might at first imagine. My sir name is Scots but my ancestry has many inputs along the way and few of us can go back very much more than a few hundred years at most.

Enjoy your tea without dunking the latter not my way of enjoying a drink either. I miss tea but may never regain the taste for it.

Here I can trace my lineage back to Oxfordshire sheep worriers, yep I thought warriors too so a bit disappointed that it wasn't a spelling mistake
I do like watching the TV series "Who Do You Think You Are?" but then I always a bit of light hearted deflationary comedy. :whistle:

I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense. Every day is a school day!
