In between knitting and making body modifications, I also like to drink tea. Found a few new ones after the suggestions made in my rather entertaining tattoo thread. So resident tea experts (tattooed or otherwise) how is the best way to drink these...

There should be a direction on the side advising whether the blend should be served with milk or lemon.

Darjeeling should be drunk black and the rest with or without milk depending on what you prefer. My grandmother won't let me have darjeeling since I love milk and if you add milk to it, it just looks like slightly dark milk!

What fresh hell is this?
I drink all of them with a bit of milk. Which reminds me, I must get myself some more tea for work, I refuse utterly to drink cheapo liptons crap This post has been edited by WingBob: 01/02/2013, 02:49 PM

Yep, they all say suitable with or without milk. Just wondering which is the best way to have them. I suspect I should have bought the tea versions for a better flavour.

Black, one sugar. Alongside a bacon sandwich and a hangover.

Irish breakfast is very similar in taste to English breakfast - so however you prefer that one, drink it the exact same way.

is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?
With a sweet biscuit and a good book in front of an open fire.

Train your dog, it's worth it!
All except Darjeeling taste best nice and strong, with milk, and for me some sugar - not much though. Darjeeling I tend to drink like jasmine tea, because its so light, but its great for those who prefer a lighter brew rather than the stronger breakfast teas, so it too can be done with a dash of milk.

I can only imagine that most of the 39 people viewing this thread are disappointed by the light subject matter Any other suggestions on types of tea. Once school goes back, I plan on visiting T2 and getting a new tea cup to go with a selection of teas. Unless I can order some online. Not sure where from though
