Haven't had Yorkshire tea in ages actually.

May I ask what is Yorkshire tea?

God, its beautiful.

After I asked, I Googled it! I may have to get some, apparently Walmart has it? Yorkshire says you should but their tea to get a "proper brew".

 

[subdudeme13]

Should I start tidying up CC and reset for tomorrow? Not sure anyone is still here after the comedown from the riveting karting talk.

You should always keep CC tidy or @EyesOnHers will have a word with you.

You should 100% make a purchase.

Then film your tea making method so we can critique it.

@EyesOnHers was making tea. Always a cause for celebration. She makes a cracking brew.

Is that the same as a "propet brew"? I had to look up Yorkshire tea and apparently I have never had one.

My sister insisted I pour the water in the cup and then plunk the tea bag in. Not put the bag in the cup and pour the water in.

Broadly speaking, yes.

Broadly speaking, I am a coffee drinker. It never hurts to expand ones horizons.

I did. I vacuumed and tidied up.

It's definitely worth a try. A bit smoky, very fragrant and unique aftertaste.

We should be gentle on him the first time tho.

1. Chuck teabag in mug
2. Pour boiling water in... pouring water on top of the bag will 'disrupt' the tea more getting more flavour out
3. Give it a good old stir (mini whirlpool style )
4. Leave to stew for about 3 mins
5. Stir again for luck then squeeze the teabag against the side of the cup with the spoon to really get the flavour out.
6. Optional - add a teaspoon of sugar if you like it sweet
7. Add a dash of milk as per colour chart (I aim for Werther's Original)
8. Enjoy

I like my tea the colour of He-Man

I like the subtle shade against coffee... Filter coffee can actually be all of those colours depending on varietal and roast.

Go for Yorkshire Gold if poss. If not the red box (or blue isn't bad for a decaf tea tbh).
I've never tried the others.

 

[PotNoodle79]

Yorkshire Gold is so good.

I'm not posh enough for fancy blends

What's the difference between gold and OG?

Good morning ..... Is it still ok to drink coffee or do I need to order tea?

 

[KatNipHigh]

When I drink tea, I always need to have a couple of cookies with it..I don't want cookies when I drink coffee.

Tea and biscuits (cookies) is a winner!
