 What's your fave tea? Mine's Sainsbury China and Darjeeling, I even took it to the Andes, though somehow it didn't taste quite the same at altitude... Think it must have been a combination of the water, the milk and altitude-dulled taste buds.
Worst tea? Camomile, reminds me strongly of stomach cramps brought on by amoebas. Not lovely.

 PG tips at home and Tetely drawstrings on the hills.
Worst is peppermint tea. Tastes like a cup of hot water with a polo dunked in it
|

 Not a big connoisseur of tea. PG tips tastes fine to me.
Fruit teas are evil. A lot of them smell really nice. But taste worse than old antifreeze.
Ooh, another vile one is that crap that a mate of mine insists on drinking.. oh bugger, whats it called.. tatses like flowers..
Hold on...

Earl Grey. Thats the chappie.
Not pleasant. Especially when you REALLY fancy a nice cuppa, and she makes you a cup of THAT. Grrr....
Sorry.

Try Yorkshire tea. Tastes like the sweepings from a pigeon loft
|
|
Yorkshire tea is my fave for camping. Its strong enough to kill the taste of dead sheep in water or whatever, actually its probly strong enough to kill the sheap in the first place.
Actually tea is a mild antiseptic so can make water safe to drink.

 Fennel tea :)
Green tea with cinnamon :( - makes me more thirsty than before I had it
|
|
Got to have a cig with a brew too :)
|

 I like Yorkshire Tea, actually i know the man that is responsible for the blending of it so i'll pass your comments and address on Darren.
I also like Broken Orange Pekoe , full leaf Darjeeling and Assam. I have been known to blend Darljeeling and Assam when I'm feeling motivated.
I like tea...

Oh...
Best device to make decent tea is a cafetiere.
|
|
 a small infusion of liberty cap makes a brew you'll never forget ! I find a sprinkle of hash in Tetley tea ,with two sugars makes a great pain killing drink.
I've been living on it since the back injury last october.

It's got to be Typhoo Tea (You only get an OOO with Typhoo). Left to simmer for a good 10 mins on a roaring stove & topped off with a dash of powdered milk, ensuring that it's strong enough to pitch yer tent in! Heaven!!
|
|
describing yorkshire tea as the sweepings of a pidgeon loft is an insult to the sweepings of a pidgeon loft.
|
|
 yorkshire tea, assam, Darjeeling and whatever that stuff i bought from paris is. must be drunk with skimmed milk tho!
|
|
 "must be drunk" Yah! I'll have some of that.
|
|
Speaking of tea - I've just run out at work. Bugger, I'll have to trek down to Oxfam and get some more.

I like Yorkshire tea, totally recommend the China and Darjeeling blend though, the leaf tea rather than the bags. It's got that smokey Lapsang Souchong thing going on, but without the overkill you get from the full monty. Very, very nice and addictive too once you get into it.
I used to drink a lot of Assam, but it always seems a bit harsh these days. Oh, most fruit teas suck like a Dyson, but I do like the Twinings Lemon and Ginger. Steep it for about five minutes and everything gets all hot and gingery. Very, very nice.

 We atek Tea Direct (just like Hodge), but have been known to have some of that Green Tea stuff. Tastes nice but it makes me fart.
