I've run out of my best tea.

Elegiac · January 02, 2015, 07:22:28 AM

I'm on the Chai. But I take my tea without milk, and I'm pretty sure that Chai is supposed to be best with milk and a little sugar.

Just gather some more tea leaves, you'll be fine.

Jive Turkey · January 02, 2015, 04:16:30 PM

Here in the UK the first thing you drink is breastmilk, then water, then tea. Not drinking tea is like only walking with your left leg

i know british people that live a block away who basically only drink tea.

Sprungli · January 02, 2015, 05:19:13 PM

Tea must have milk in it, unless it's green/herbal tea. Tea+milk=cuppa, a cuppa should always be made with teabags or tea leaves but only when using a teapot. Herbal/green tea is not everyday stuff, it should not be consumed like you would consume regular cuppas.

When in a foreign nation, you can't trust the water supply so you boil it, add milk,a teabag and some sugar. It's how we can survive anywhere, even shitholes (because that's usually where the tea is from anyways)

I'm sorry but nothing is better than Iranian and Asian tea. Nothing. And you can get that in America.

Dude, i'm a Brit. We have tea from all around the world, different varieties, blends, brands and it's the norm for us. We have almost a half-aisle in every supermarket in the country devoted to tea, plus shops like Whittards

Find a green/lemongrass blend. But you'll need a set-up with an infuser.

Because it's special, and overconsumption can have adverse effects on your digestion.

Well, that still leaves (pun intended) the fact that it's far more expensive and just isn't as warming and IMO simply not as nice as a cuppa

Not if you are missing out all that extra calcium and overdosing on caffeine, which you would be if you drank 8 cups a day
