Not to seem horribly British..

But don't you just love a good cup of tea? Personally, I think it takes your mind off everything that's going on around you and, yeah... Tea..

Anyways, I was just sat here, where I normally sit, sipping my lovely brew when Lo! and Behold! I come across the most fantastic site in the world!
Tea Appreciation Society!
Well, it's safe to say I was in awe of this magnficent thing.

I'm halfway through my tea, (milk, no sugar) and considering buying a "Tea Bag"... Out of interest, how do you like your tea? And when/where do you like to drink it?

Ee, tea is bloody brilliant.

Tea is amazing.
Best cup of tea is on a cold or gloomy day.
You just get into comfortable lounge clothes while waiting for the water, then toast a piece of sourdough bread.

I like Earl Grey with milk and one sugar in a large bowl-like mug.

Most people in Southern California don't exactly like hot tea so much as coffee. =/
I also don't drink it too much because I can't stand drinking hot things in heated weather.

[el Pollardo]

Doesn't tea make you cooler?

Might just be an old wives' tale..

[Kristi]

Hot chocolate tends to be too chocolatey for me, despite the redundancy of that.

[el Pollardo]

I prefer Hot Chocolate tbh. 'Though I don't drink it as often as tea...

[Linssyu]

Coffee is practically my life blood, lolol.
I love tea. But, coffee... well, that's something ELSE.
Hot chocolate is always too watery for me, I can never make it right, so I don't bother... I'm not a chocolate fan anyways.

[Hel]

Try proper Scottish hot chocolate with cream and milk. It's really something else.

[el Pollardo]

Oh, that is extremely British.
Do you pronounce it with an 'oh' or as if it were spelt scon?

:)

[Linssyu]

Sugar in tea is an american thing, I thought... But apart from that, I totally agree with your britishness!

[Hel]

Nah, it's British. Because sugar was imported from our plantations in Jamaica etc everyone used to have it so it wasn't so bitter. (Hoping I'm right there and that the historical novel I got that from wasn't lying to me).

I know that site! Have you ever been to nicecupofteaandasitdown.com? I love it, but don't tell people because it does make me seem about fifty. And God knows I love tea. I Drink more tea than I drink water! Or EAT. One time we ran out of teabags and I nearly died. Well not really. But I did on the ~*InSiDe*~
And ON TOPIC- I like my tea reeeally strong and like, insanely hot with a teeeeensy bit of milk and two sugars. I really need to cut down on my sugar but bleugh. We all have our guilty pleasures LOL :D My favourite place to drink tea is when I buy it from the big leisure centre in the park in one of those crappy styrofoam cups. Especially on really cold days when I'm out with my friends, because we usually end up sitting at the Skate Park which means I can sit all cosy with my warm tea and oggle the Skaters/BMXers/Bladers and have a giggle with my CHUMS.

I just noticed how long this comment is. I think it just goes to show how much I love tea that I've gotten so excited about it afgdfsh

[el Pollardo]

Wow! That's a fantastic site!
:)! (the exclamation marks show how enthusiastic I am about it).

You summed up my life in 12 words: "oggle the Skaters/BMXers/Bladers and have a giggle with my CHUMS."

[Dem]

ahaa yay for oggling! And it still makes me laugh that there is a 'Biscuit of the Week'. Genius!
