dennyreborn	Posted - 2006.11.19 18:18:00 - [1] Having watched near revulsion on the faces of many of my English friends at the mere mention of sweet iced tea (sweet tea). I realized i have never had a proper cup of English tea. That being said i would like to try it out so I am wondering if any of my fellow players from england would be so kind to give step my step instructions for proper English tea. please be very specific as i don't want to miss a thing to enjoying English tea the proper way.

You want fine loose leaves, a teapot, hot water, a cup and perhaps a tea-strainer if your teapot does not incorporate such a device. (A cafetiere will work too) No milk, no sugar. Try a nice normal Earl Grey to get yourself started before moving on to perhaps a few more adventurous flavours.

J Frost Gallente The Tafflington Trust	Posted - 2006.11.20 03:45:00 - [8] just being curious... do English ppl always drink Red Tea? I don't know if I expressed myself correctly, but I've learned from books and other medias that English ppl love Red Tea, and always drink it with jam and bread? (sorry if it's not true, heard that from Sound Of Music though ) The reason being curious about that is, there are Green Tea and Flower Tea besides Red Tea in China, and I don't know if we're drinking the same thing as we all call it 'Red Tea'.
Ikarushka A.O.U. Corp	Posted - 2006.11.20 06:35:00 - [9] tea is overrated... even though my parents do it the proper way, i became american and am taking dr. pepper instead
Haldane IV Crisis Corp Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.11.20 08:00:00 - [10] I heard it claimed that at one time Shanghai and London were the worlds two biggest concentrations of populace and a factor in that was the antiseptic qualities of tea, or something like that. Its a nice theory anyway.
Tiridus Gallente Wolf Organisation	Posted - 2006.11.20 15:38:00 - [11] Get some nice Twinnings Qimun(Keemun) tea, dash of milk and one teaspoon of sugar in a nice big tea cup, absolutely lovely, smells nice too. loose leaf tea is best but i use teabags because i prefer more mild, aromatic teas. ______________________________________________ Tiridus

Swirl it around for a bit with a tea spoon, and remove the bag. Add milk (semi-skimmed). Add sugar to taste. Stir. Voila, the perfect mug of English tea, none of this lardy-da Earl Grey or Darjeeling nonsense. Dulce et decorum est, pro imperator mori It's great being Amarr, ain't it?

Scorpyn Caldari The Patriot Pact	Posted - 2006.11.20 16:29:00 - [14] My personal opinions on tea (I'm not english, this is just in case you don't like the english way or want to try other ways of drinking tea etc) : 1. Never ever put sugar in your tea. Use honey or no sweetener at all. 2. Don't bother with black tea. Use tea made from herbs etc. Don't drink anything made by Lipton or Twinings, plain water is better. 3. Make sure to not leave the tea in the water for too long, as that makes the tea taste kinda bad in most cases (there are exceptions though, there is at least one that should be boiled for a while). 4. In my opinion, it doesn't matter that much if you use a tea bag or not. I'd most likely fail miserably in a blind test. However, not using tea bags is part of the ceremony for some ppl, which means that following traditions etc makes you feel better about drinking it.

Sir....Earl Gray is not lardy-da but instead a subtle slightly perfumed flavor that has the seconday quality of slicing through last nights kabab grease like the proverbeal knife through butter. Although I do admire your direct tea making skills you should develop your taste a little to include some of the differant blends avalible _______________________________________________ Sig removed as inappropriate- Tirg Story of my life that one :(
Haldane IV Crisis Corp Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.11.20 18:52:00 - [16] Well said Uggster. CHIMP always did have the best Tea Parties. As witness: http://omgrawr.net/quote/2250
Malicious Afterthought Suffoco Noctis Atrocitas	Posted - 2006.11.20 23:43:00 - [17] There is no point in discussing the relative merits of Earl Grey with Marxists. They believe that all proper tea is theft. /gets coat.
EllieBean Caldari Digital Fury Corporation	Posted - 2006.11.21 00:01:00 - [18] Asamm is my favorite, has to be left to infuse for a while. Its as strong as coffee for caffiene so good for the morning after
dennyreborn	Posted - 2006.11.21 00:23:00 - [19] i didn't realize tea could bring so much controversy. sheesh to think i was only going be part of the debate between bag tea and instant tea.

Voila, the perfect mug of English tea, none of this lardy-da Earl Grey or Darjeeling nonsense. This has to be the most direct and GENERAL way people drink it in england. There are exceptions and I also love a good herbal at times but sometimes a nice and quickly made cup of twinings is a good refresher.

J Frost Gallente The Tafflington Trust	Posted - 2006.11.21 13:07:00 - [26] anyone could give an answer to my question? really wish to know. =]
Calleb	Posted - 2006.11.21 13:28:00 - [27] Edited by: Calleb on 21/11/2006 13:31:11 most English peeps drink a blend of tea and probably dont know the individual types of tea that are in it. The most popular brads are pg tips, typhoo, yorkshire tea, tetley tea. All these are as far as I am aware, a mixture ar all different tea types but are probably mostly red tea. As far as sitting down to have tea at 4 o'clock with jam and scones, this is a sort of sterotype. Where it is possible to get this traditional english tea in an english tea shop, most families would not do this at home, but may on special occations. The only real "tea ceremonies" that are widely observed in england now are probably amongst the blue collar workers where at 10am and 3pm (or there abouts) everything stops for "a brew" but with new production methods etc, even this is becoming less common these days. Also every english man you ask who drinks tea will tell you a different way to make it. It really is that complicated, as even a slight change in the way tea is brewed makes a diference to the flavour. For me it has to be loose tea leaves (from a hard water brand of tea) placed in a brown tea pot (you know; the round one) 1 tea spoon per cup and 1 for the pot. Add boiling water for the right amount of cups. Leave the tea to brew for at least 3 or 4 mins, (more than 10 mins and the tea will start to stew) dont forget the cosy as the tea will get cold. Then strain the tea to your cup and add the milk to the tea to taste. (this is a hot subject for debate on its own). No sugar or sweetners at all. Try to get used to the taste without sweetners, in a good cup of tea if you add sweetners, its really all you can taste. there you have it. For my 2p the best cup of tea you can drink, now let me just go put the kettle on .....
Nova Z Agony Unleashed	Posted - 2006.11.21 14:00:00 - [28] I'm probably one of the more unusual Brits in that I don't like 'English' tea. I prefer Green Tea, White Tea (in fact pretty much all of the oriental teas - my current fave is Drum Mountain, White Could White tea) and a whole load of herbal teas. I get friends in the US to send me over the Celestial Seasonings ones you can't get here in the UK .

Xorus Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.11.21 14:04:00 - [29] I'm english and i can't stand tea i'm much more a coffee drinker :) ---

J Frost Gallente The Tafflington Trust	Posted - 2006.11.21 14:25:00 - [30] thank for the answer. i've heard that English ppl love tea soooooo much that they would stop whatever they might be doing at the time to have a what so called 'Tea Break'. Is that true?
