If you read the puchi blurbs you will often see me talking about "getting a cuppa" I'm talking about going to "get a cup of tea" and its usually PG Tips. I must have a few years worth of tea in stock as every time I meet folks who come to Japan from the UK, they bring me some tea - this last box was brought by member AndyH. The water in Japan is a bit different in the UK so it doesn't taste the same without some hacks - which is to use two tea bags and brown or ice sugar also known as Kori Zato [氷砂糖]. Me usually make a jug of tea which has enough for 3 cups and drink straight out of the jug ^^; Any English tea drinkers out there?
I never tried English tea but I liked to.
The only named tea I've heard of and still remember is Earl Gray of Capt. Picard fame; now please implode me! Singaporeans... the only tea I've seen selling round here are Lipton teabags.
Japanese Green Sensha only, so far. Planing to expand my japanese tea expierience next time when i go to the japan super market in Düsseldorf. ;) Though me to like that green tea came not due Anime, it came thus playing Go and finding it can be relaxing and assists my progress in thinking about moves, also helps me while coding - weird. Oh and lolipops or nibbling on a carrot does as well, guess some stuff can as long as my mouth is occupied, watashi wa hen na! XD Never had any kind of "UK Tea", only heard about it. Anything someone would recommend for a starter on UK Teas? ^o^
Milk in tea is an abomination! I like tea, but I don't drink too much of it. I like a lot of the weird Twinings blends, particularly their green teas. Great stuff.
Had some milk tea in Chatuchak in Bangkok. The guy making it would twirl around with two mugs of hot tea and condensed milk, cooling the mixture by passing it from one vessel to the other in the air. It was pretty yummy. 3 hours later, the guy was still at it. Must've made hundreds of cups with this method, non-stop, in the bright sunlight of late noon.
Only heard of and had Grey Earl, but I wish I knew more :
If I meet you, I'll make sure I bring some frog legs for you.. :) .. just kidding.. :)
Damn.. forgot what I wanted to say.. lol : Just cold tea for me, peach flavoured is top..
I always need a decent cuppa to wake myself up in the morning. Tea + milk + one sugar = a new day!
I worked at mandarin hotel, singapore before as a waiter and I have to memorize the names of english teas and also the wine list. What I can still remember is jasmine, earl grey, darjeeling, orange peko, dunno what breakfast.. I personally dont drink tea but what I can tell is that european guests that come to the restaurant for their breakfast can differentiate on the spot if we serve them the normal lipton teabags :)
Well, If you consider Twinnings to be Englsh, then I do drink of a lot of that, but I prefer the Earl Grey from Republic of Tea.
it's like a jug of coffee to me ^^
When I saw the title I thought it was some tips for building PG gunpla kits -_-;
lol me too ^.^
ya me too. and also Parental Guidance as well.
Same here, I guess we all think similar way...
I also drink tea in the morning before going to college. If im tired i will put in more than 4 tea spoon worth of sugar just to keep be alive for a few hours. If i dont drink any tea in the morning then i just go to the cafe and get myself a mocha and then put about...4-6 packet of sugar?.
Drinking a cuppa now. Gotta get that caffeine fix atleast once a day. Whats different about the water danny? Different chemicals in? To do with the water purefication?
I've learned that most of England has hard water... Any kettle w/o a filter will have scale on it in less than a month. Tea with no hard water taste different >.>
yep - our kettle does not fill up with that scaley stuff
soft water in Japan, hard water in the UK
Ahhhh thats why. I think I prefer harder water. Up where my grandparents live I think its softer water, which tastes worse.... (Of course if I'm wrong and its the other way round, I like soft water better, which is good for when I go to Japan lol)
thought it might be that but it seemed to simple and then i remembered people get those water filter things to make it soft water, needs moar calcium
Did you also eat bangers and mash, Danny? I heard that slank from Bakura, the stupid limey boy (at about 2:56).. ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmm-1LZE03k
i don't know if i had an english tea but i would love to try some ^^
i normaly drink earl grey or lady violet, but for those that don't like the bergamot oil i have some assam fop too!
Only know about Earl Grey. And guess where I read about that from.
More of a coffee nut, but the wife and I (wife especially) enjoy a good green tea. We've picked up the odd Twinings blend in the Supermarket, but mainly purchase from a small company here in the States that imports some fine Chinese and Indian teas. I'm afraid I never acquired the taste for either milk or sugar in my tea.
no english tea here but i did pick up drinking ginger tea during my time in west bengal
I like Earl Grey. Haven't really liked all those weird spice ones. Black , green, and oolong is good too.
Ever since I gave up all carbonated drinks a few years ago, I've drunk almost nothing but water and tea. Milk, but no sugar is preferred, sugar ruins the flavour.
I like green tea the best...but english tea?!...I have not taste it yet...
English tea is nice. I've had green tea too, thats nice, but in a different way. It's refreshing. English tea is... warm and comforting I guess, I can't really describe the flavour. I'm not a chronic-tea or coffee drinker. So I don't remember it that much lol.
Ummmm.............ok...0_0
I've never tried any tea other than your usual chinese tea and tea from a cinnamon branch or watchumaycallit. loved that stuff. ^^
Blimey - im surprised that box is still going! Have you still got the monkey toy? Thats one helluva big cuppa you make! Its an endurance cup of tea! Im not a big hot drinks fan, myself. If im super cold, or ill, ill occasionally have a cup-a-soup (ace) or some green tea.
well, i only tried green tea. English tea just seems to throw me off because of the color 0.o'' cause of tat brown, you know? or is it juss becuase ive only seen like the one in the pictures? are there others that dont have that color? lol
Nope thats generally the colour of our tea :S
Tea's by far the best hot drink :D. If i ever visit Japan i'll be sure to bring you some proper tea Danny
Well now I know to bring you tea when I get to go to Japan lol. I prefer Tea to coffee definately. But my dad likes the Yorkshire Tea(I think thats what it's called...) How is the water in Japan different?? I love Norfolk water, I drink soooooo much of it... I don't know what I'd do without it. And do you like to drink the tea hot? Or do you leave it to cool? Cos you said you have it in a jug, so it can't stay hot that way unless its a thermos jug or something....
I don't like English tea. A lot of the English teas I've had are black teas (I've also had India Black Tea... which wasn't all that good either). If I'm not mistaken, you add cream/milk to some English teas as well? I never like adding things like that to my tea, always ruins it. Blah, to the point; English tea = not that great. Herbal and Mint teas are what I am particularly fond of. Even the good ole lemon tea, or anything with a bit of spice/fragrance.
So does PG Tip taste similar to regular tea, aka Green Tea and such, or more of a milk tea taste?
I like good old boring Orange Pekoe. Coffee gives me stomach problems, and I don't like the taste of it anyways, so I don't have it but it's way more popular around here than tea so I always seem to be the odd one out at coffee shops.
I like lipton tea ^^! I drink it with milk and some sugar :3 tried lipton's green tea, don't like it =_=;
Dont really drink english black tea. But we have something very similar in Hong Kong that we called "Milk Tea". Basically it's just english tea + milk + sugar in Hong Kong style.
Hai! If it's not green tea it's English tea for me. We have hard water here, but I'm a little leery to drink it or use it. Too many landfills and such here in Michigan nowadays... Have you tried the PG Tips anniversary blend Danny? Guess it was so popular they decided to make it a regular product. What I'm drinking right now. I glad to hear monkey is back. Has anyone see the ad?
My Japanese friend couldn't understand that I put sugar in my tea. Haha! And yes, I drink tea every morning.
I wanna carbonated green tea...0_0 to see what it taste like.....anyone heard of boba tea? It's good.....XDDDDD
i have over 10 different varieties of tea leaves in my pantry right now anyway, where's the crumpet?
for some reason I read panty instead of pantry o_o; oh boy tea leaves in panty? :P
i would've said pantsu if i meant panties. but thats a pretty wild imagination you got there
I learned in the news one day that adding milk to your tea destroys all the beneficial effects of the latter.
I think you are thinking of the differences of milk first or added after. On milk first, when the hot tea is added, the milk is scorched and becomes chemically different. On milk added later, the heat exchange is more even. I should stop researching my tea..
Hmmm....so that the art of making perfect tea..
All I drink is PG Tips. I make about 4 cups of it and that will usually last me about 2-3 days. Served with ice and a little sugar.
Nothing like a good English cuppa - Being from the North-East of England, i'm addicted to tea. PG Tips is the best but Twinings Earl Grey with a drop of milk is the best to help you concentrate!
i have tea bush thing to make fresh brewed tea cuz the rents got a tea bush farm thing. 14 years of tea makin helps ya make a good tea.also there is soft water here where living.
Ah I love tea. If I have time to leisure, hot tea with milk, three sugar. If I am in a rush, black tea, 3 sugars left in a fridge for a few minutes. (Gulps it down) Although I prefer my PG tips I sometimes have the occasional exotic tea. Recently, I had a great liking to Amber tea...
I've been a regular tea drinker(Lipton Green Tea) for a while now... i think I drink 2-3x a day... treated it like a water.haha...
English Teas reminds me of Shinku. Anyway, our local Teh Boh do delivers
"This tea is not good, make it again until it is perfect." Love Shinku and and her way to put you back in place with style (that's nobility for you ^^)!
I am pretty much a tea slut. I drink tea from China, Japan, America, India and UK... I like it all ^_^;;;
I'm not much of a tea drinker. I have some once in a while when I go to asian restaurant, they usually serve tea there around here with the meal. When I need my caffeine fix in the morning it black coffee for me. Nothing beat that for waking up. XD And well, I just usually drink Pepsi. <<;
PG Tips, I can't get enough of if last year. This year, I've cut down on it due to the fact that the colouring(?) are dying one of my teeth brown... Anyways, the dentist told me to cut the Tea ToT Oh.. PG tips how I missed drinking you...
British ninja is one of avid tea drinkers http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/7453/britishninjauf9.jpg
PG tips! whee~ i always have a thermos of it ready to go XD anyone else pour milk in the cup first before the tea?
I like a cuppa of english breakfast tea every now and then. I also like Hong Kong style milk tea because they use condensed milk and they're meant to strain the milk through panty hose or something like that. O__o Never thought about how soft & hard water can make a difference to drinks.
Pg what? All I can see is Haruhi, all your pics with figures do that me.
I'm more of a coffee drinker. Its got way more of a kick. (Hell, I'm a zombie without coffee - which is unfortunate because I'm usually too lazy to make any). xD
Teh siu dai = Tea with milk, less sugar.. my personal indulgence during my coffee break
I kinda like green tea... *Gets a cuppa*
English tea is some of the best stuff out there.
I like to drink, but after I drink english tea i will not feeling well, usually stomach -.- . I not sure why also..
come to think of it, I only drank green tea before =.=;
come to think of it, I only drank green tea before =.=;
Green Tea with ginseng in it. Never tried that Green Tea with honey in it that I see everyone drinking, though. Hawaiian Sun Green Tea > Every other beverage.
I drink regularly, but usually don't mix with milk (though I don't think it's bad... but I'm kinda lactose intolerant). I like several Twinnings blends, the classical japanese green tea (powder or not), black teas, and some other latin america stuff we have here. Hot or cold too. Oh, I loved the teas you could buy on dispensers in Japan... from time to time, I buy them from import shops (paying almost a full meal for a single bottle). In Brazil, teas meant to drink cold sold in bottles are usually sweetened. Camellia Sinensis FTW!
When I was in the UK, out of all the tea, I found PG Tips suprisingly tasty-- I'm not sure why. And why do all the teabags there have no string?
