I like loose tea, always done in a teapot, but OH cant manage the leaves that escape the strainer, so we use tea bags, two to a large pot. Dislike the habit of making it in a cup, waste of tea. years ago, one barracks I was at, we had a perforated spoon, double sided, that held the tea, and as we were all in at diffent times, we left the used tea in the spoon until it was all used up! It was surprising how many cups we could get out of one spoon.

Jean i have still got my one of those at my daughters. Thats if she hasnt got rid of it.

Always loose tea in a pot. I don't like tea-bags,can taste them.

Used to use PG but found that Yorkshire is stronger.Always use freshly boiled water,always warm the pot.

I do sometimes drink coffee at home because, once opened, the coffee goes black if you don't drink it in time. Usually I drink coffee, latte because it doesn't taste too much of coffee, when I am out because I am too picky to drink tea in a lot of places.

oh Yorkshire Tea bags is a must,,,,,good strong tasty cuppa that could strip wallpaper off,strong with a touch of milk,,,,,loverly to perk you up........tetley and the like are too weak for us....

Zzzzz, didnt know they still exist! We use Glengettee tea., suits the water here,

Tea bag in a huge mug for me (preferably 'builders' grade of stewdom)
Strangely though, I have a 'brown betty' teapot in the cupboard, a 'tea' spoon (the one Jean and Hazel talk about) and I found 3 tea bag 'squeezers' in my drawers the other day - though I don't use them!

*memo to self* Must clear out my kitchen cupbards more often!!

I got out my little metal teapot the other day for the first time in ages. Used T bag (Twinnings Breakfast) Didn't taste any different but it was much hotter which was nice with this weather.

We have a tea caddy and a tea spoon which are used several times a day.Five tea pots.Three strainers.

Just think of me as some sort of geisha.

I find the china pots make tea taste better. But the metal ones stay hotter longer tho.

I got to buy some more leaf tea. I like the breakfast tea bags as well. Use to get it in loose tea as well. Will have alook tomorrow.

Oh,forgot to mention the two tea cosies.
