How do you take your tea?

For whatever reason I have been drinking mostly PG Tips since this thread, and this week I tried to switch back to Irish Breakfast, and now it tastes so strong to me that I can barely stomach it.

sad tea indeed, garbon.

You disgust me, sir.

I don't think there's anything left for me to say so:

Interesting.  Do you also like Earl Grey, since it's got an orange-y flavor (at least to me)?

I like Early Grey, drink it sometimes. I like honey in my tea with just a touch of cream which seems to cut the tannin down.

I'll add this, with good quality tea you don't need a tee strainer, it should stay in the bottom of the teapot when poured.

I've been drinking 2 cups of English breakfast tea for years every morning.  I don't drink coffee. 

Always with milk no sugar or sweetened almond milk.

...and PG Tips is sold out at Kroger and there's a tag on the shelf saying 'Temporarily Unavailable'.

I hope I can last till this apparent PG Tips shortage has passed.

Knowingly had my first experience of 'cream in a can', it's just frothy uht milk.

I've been drinking straight old Pu Er or any kind of Japanese green tea for years, a few cups a day. Used to bring all my teas from China and Japan before the lockdowns. Running low on my stocks these days.

I especially like good Genmaicha, the one with roasted rice.

Sometimes I like that Chinese tea which comes in large pressed bricks and which you have to break off to brew. Can't recall its name now. But it can be too flavourful sometimes.

Lately I've been drinking Tetley.  I ran out of PG Tips and couldn't find any at the grocery so I had to order a box from Amazon, but I've yet to open it.

In terms of black tea I've found a supermarket own make asaam to be rather good.

Pu er is good. Genmaicha too is a favourite. Though I've found it's really easy to find Genmaicha in the west so familiarity could be lessening how much I rate it.

One I really love and can never find outside Japan is soba cha.
Also like a decent kuki cha.
