How do you take your tea?

I make Thai style iced milk tea if I make tea.

It isn't difficult to make.  The most critical part is to get the tea leaves.  It has to be that specific brand.  Accept no alternative.

I drink mostly Russian tea. I think technically they're called caravan tea. Since marrying a chinese girl she's been trying to convert me to oolong or puehr but I can't switch that easily. The russian teas are smokey.

Like any good Canadian when I drink tea I drink Red Rose Orange Pekoe.

That looks like tomato juice.

Yeah it has a distinctive orange-ish colour.  It isn't Thai milk tea if the colour isn't like that.  The only way to produce the Thai colour and flavour is by using that particular brand of tea leaves.

4 or 5 cups of Yorkshire hard water tea a day. Couple of minutes brewing, splash of milk. No sugar.

I go through phases of drinking loose leaf tea of all varieties. White and green tea with nothing added (silver needle white tea is a favourite). Splash of milk with Assam or Darjeeling.

I tried PG Tips this morning.  I like that it seems to brew a bit faster (on account of the triangle bag I guess?) but the taste definitely is inferior to Twinings.

In what do you put the tea when not in a sachet?

[Caliga]

You mean when not in a teabag?  They make these little metal things called tea balls and you can put the loose tea in those and it strains through the ball's mesh.  Also, I've seen teapots that have a strainer built into the spout, so you just throw the loose tea in the pot and strain it off when you pour it.

A sachet is a teabag, afaik.

Thanks.

I have one of these:



Edit: And actually really recommend that teapot. It's really good - the tea leaf "basket"(?) is quite big so the leaves have space to sort of circulate/expand.

I have this one :

Earl Gray or Green tea.  "black", as in no milk added, like coffee.
