What is your favourite tea?

[Dirka Skene]

I am an extremely avid coffee drinker. I like coffee like I like my chocolate, dark and rich.
As far as tea goes, I like rooibos, camomile with local honey, jasmin tea and white tea steeped with ginger water. I tried a tea in California called China Mist, it was very floral and slightly fruity. I haven't been able to find it since. Anyone ever heard of it?

In Scotland I mostly drank Scottish Blend as a standard but I can't get it here so our Standard is Tetley.
While I'm not much of a fan of herbal teas, I do like varied green teas (Jasmine etc) and love to have an Assam or Darjeeling or Ceylon here or there.
I used to go to a lovely teahouse back in Glasgow and would order a Yogi Yogi chai almost every time.

When I was a boy in the early 1960’s, we used to drink Typhoo tea, loose in the box. What I liked best was you could cut out and collect the football team photos on the side. Save so many and you could send away for a big, coloured team photo. I sent away for my favourites (as they still are) – Heart of Midlothian FC. For those of you who know Scottish football of that era, the photo included players like Jim Cruickshank, Chris Shevlane, Davie Holt, Roy Barrie, Tommy Traynor, Billy Wallace, John Cumming, Johnny Hamilton etc.

Tough being a Jambo in 2009-10 though !

Aye, but better a loyal supporter, even in the tough times, then a "bandwagoner"!

Loose Ceylon for us.

[Frank McGrath]

I drink Lipton at work and Earl Gray at home. Unless Mama's making something else.

Lipton, because the company supplies it. Earl Gray, because I have the freedom of choice. Unless Mama's making a pot of something else.

[WClarkB]

Earl Grey (and for about 20yrs before "Jean Paul" started ordering it)

Although I am from Texas, when I drink tea it is hot and not iced. I drink coffee every morning, and tea in the evenings. I drink both without cream, milk, or sweeteners, as the Almighty intended.

My preferred tea brand and flavor is Bigalow's Constant Comment (flavored with orange rinds and spices). Others that I drink regularly are also Bigalow's: Earl Grey, Earl Grey Green, Green, Lemon Lift, and Darjeeling.

Well rememberd Cajun ! Are you a fellow sufferer too ?

Aye, Cajun, I’d never support another team. Hearts owner, the Lithuanian entrepreneur-millionnaire, Vladimir Romanoff, announced in the press that Scottish football is a joke and is going downhill due to the continuing domination of the Rangers/Celtic cartel which is strangling opportunities for other teams in Scotland and creating a floundering “sub-league”. He’s probably right ! That, plus the standard of referreeing nose-diving too. Far days from Tiny Wharton and Hugh Dallas !

All Hearts can hope to do this season is keep out of the regulation zone ! What a change from 4 years ago, when after several excellent seasons, they were still regularly at or near the top of the league and won the Scottish Cup twice in 7 years (now written off by the R/C cartel as an unimportant trophy - though they'd kill for it if they reached the final !)
