Default How do you like your tea?
Are you a standard P.G. tips kind of person or are you into the more herbal/floral alternatives?

Strong (I have been known to throw 3 teabags in there) but also plenty of milk. Sugar varies depending on how I'm feeling at the time. Same with coffee really, I always have milk but sugar content varies all the way from "none" up to "loads and chocolate powder and squirty cream on top".

There's a fine balance between "too weak", and "was this made in a slowcooker". I like to leave it for a good 3 minutes but the mistake a lot of people make is squeezing the bag after it's been brewing ... you need to just fish it out and not be tempted to squish out the liquid! It makes the tea bitter.

I fold the teabag in half, pour water in from a height, stir anti-clock 20 times and leave it for like 3-4 mins then take out teabag and add a wee bit milk.

Not really a tea drinker.
Hubby drinks far too much of it.
The go to one is of course Yorkshire tea.
But Fortnum and Mason do an amazing mix of teas bags for £25.99.
Only to be bought over Xmas or special occasions mind.

Tetley tea bags, no sugar and decent amount of milk.

I also like lots of different herbal teas too

I drink both herbal tea's as well ,as regular tea but I don't like it strong. I prefer more than a drop of milk and no sugar .
