Is drinking tea with milk the normal choice of POE folk? Who drinks their tea with added sugar, or without milk, or drink herbal teas for preference? Or do you mostly drink coffee? Be interesting to see what would be "normal" for this on POE. (Not talking alcoholic beverages here Ron & James! lol) |

Who prefers and cup and who prefers a mug. Does anyone still make tea in a tea pot? Has leaf tea totally given way to teabags? |

Pour boiling water on tea-bag and leave for SIX minutes. Add one, maybe two teaspoonfuls of milk (absolutely no more) and consume with or without sugar or sweetners etc. Neither Anna or I take sugar in our tea. How about you members?

I only meant it jokingly about if we like tea, we should live in England. I like tea with milk and sugar but lately I've been drinking it without and preferring it that way. Green tea drink without milk or sugar and herbal teas, depending on what kind...most just with sugar. Coffee...light and sweet!!! And first thing in the morning! |

What tea brands to people on POE prefer? My favorite is Punjana Irish Breakfast tea, which is packed by Thompson's Family Teas in Belfast--strong, rich, great color!

They normally sell Punjana Irish Breakfast Tea for $5.99 per 80 count package--I usually buy 7 or 8 packages at a time, which more than compensates on the small shipping charge. They often have other tea specials and their shipping is very fast. The Welsh Brew is quite nice--very bracing--but a bit more expensive. |

It definitely tastes better than a bag in a cup/mug! And of course I get a second cup too, lol I drink it with a little milk and sugar. |
