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'.

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.

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 .

(Man I wish that thread had never happened) I prefer tea when I make it myself, but at work I stick with coffee as you can't really go wrong with how you make it. Went to a meeting last week and in the meeting room they had a case of tea with around 20-30 flavours of tea in it. Went through the entire case, and not a single one that made "plain" black tea. Had to settle for raspberry flavoured!

Never saw a more revolting thing than the hot water pot, that boils water for tea or Postum (also revolting). Things grow in those pots - things with gooey tendrils. They don't wash the hot water pot.

Horton Heat Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.22 11:12:00 - [39] I work in a stereotypical English office and there's always someone going to 'get the drinks in', there's people here who drink the stuff non-stop from 9 'til 5 : ) Tetley's tea-bags, milk and two sugars seems to be the norm' around these parts. A friend from Texas came over and I made him a cuppa, and he looked genuinely confused. Insert bag in cup, add boiling water, mash around, insert milk and sugar, remove bag, drink : )

SlyPanther The Older Gamers Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.11.22 23:53:00 - [43] Edited by: SlyPanther on 23/11/2006 00:05:42 Well I am an Aussie and nothing beats a good brew. I drink coffee as well as Tea but for sake of speed I drink more coffee. When I want to relax I break out the Green Tea and a big cup so I can unwind and just drink the stress and cares of a day away. While at work and Smoko came around (morning tea, break) I would fire up the kettle and get the tea ready which included pre warming the mug. Like most of the people I just slam a teabag in the cup and make it standard if black tea. If I am using Green Tea there is nothing in the cup but the tea and hot water. When I do get a chance to make a pot of tea I follow pretty much the standard procedure, tea leaves, pre warmed pot, hot water and away I go. ---------- Steve Irwin - He's like Fosters, only for export and never for use in Australia -RiP- Steve

Yikes Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.25 10:42:00 - [46] If you go with the traditional tea bag mug slamming option (as described above) and you work in a manual profession, EG builder or plumber, then you must have at least 6 teaspoons of sugar in each cup. It's the law! I used to live in the US and it took me ages to get used to iced tea and other weird things like bacon with maple syrup on.

J Frost Gallente The Tafflington Trust	Posted - 2006.11.26 14:09:00 - [50] umm... it's a little different drinking tea in China. Says, we have 3 most common types of tea, which are the RED / GREEN / FLOWER. There are a lot of different ways to make tea depends on what type of tea your are about to make. Boiled water is one of the requirement for Puer, a kind of Red tea, and we usually don't dunk it for a long time. Pour in the water with tea already put in the pot, and pour the water out almost right after the pot is full filled. Brick Tea (RED) is different, u have to boil the tea with water for about 5 minutes, and drink it with milk (horse milk for Mongolian or yak milk for Tibetan). Some would prefer to add salt instead of sugar in the tea. Personally, I like the salty taste. Red tea is good to drink during winter time. =] Ppl lives in southern China like green tea more. It's really complicated to make green tea. As far as I know, there are more than 28 steps of procedure to make tea. It's better to make tea by using hot water heated to about 70 degree Celsius, so the nutrition won't be damaged by hot water. I've heard that green tea is good for diet, and good to drink during summer time. Flower Tea, especially jasmine, is most prefered by Beijing ppl. They put tea leaves into a pot and pour in boiled water. Wait until the leaves is stretched and open, also the water is a bit cooler, then drink it. Some would like to put some sugar in it. Ppl believe drinking jasmine tea is good for ur health. =]
Nova Z Agony Unleashed	Posted - 2006.11.26 14:13:00 - [51] 28 steps for green tea?! I must be going wrong somewhere, I just stick the leaves in a pot like I do for Jasmine or white tea .
Drakesh Caldari The Otter Pop Foundation	Posted - 2006.11.26 18:41:00 - [52] Myself and a friend decided once to drink as much tea as possible before going out on the lash.

Nikolai Konakov	Posted - 2006.11.26 19:54:00 - [54] Ok, for starters don't listen to any of these ponces with their tea strainers and leafs. 1. Put tea bag( typhoo ftw) and two heaped teaspoons of sugar into your favourite mug (you know the transformers one you have had since being a kid) 2. Boil the kettle 3. Pour the hot water onto the teabag 3. Stir vigorously and strain the teabag using the spoon against the side of the cup (the water should resemble the colour of cofee but not quite as black) 4. Pour full fat milk into the cup (about 1/5th of the cups volume) 5. Stir vigorously 6. Enjoy drinking your "builders tea" - it really is the best.
J Frost Gallente The Tafflington Trust	Posted - 2006.11.27 00:40:00 - [55] Originally by: Nova Z 28 steps for green tea?! I must be going wrong somewhere, I just stick the leaves in a pot like I do for Jasmine or white tea Well, that's just the perfect way of making green tea, but not how everyone is doing in China. There are a lot of work to do to make good green tea that don't do anything with the tea. Something even sprirital, religionary, or even superstisious. Like you have to burner incense and clear your soul before making green tea, or you have to pour hot water from outside of the pot to wash the pot and showing your respect to the guests. Yes, it's culture, and artistic, but I hate it a lot while I'm thirsty to death and wishing a cup of water. =] For English tea, I'd prefer tea bag with sugar. Simply put the tea bag in a cup, and pour in hot water. Dump the bag a few times and throw it away. I don't know how it tastes with milk cuz never tried before. Maybe I should try that later. --------------------- Question ---------------------- I've been hearing ppl talking about English tea, and found something they call 'Earl(Count?) Tea'. Is that a brand of tea? or a type? or a class to show how good the tea is?
Nova Z Agony Unleashed	Posted - 2006.11.27 00:46:00 - [56] Earl Grey tea is any tea blend with a distinctive flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. Traditionally the term "earl grey" was applied only to black tea; however, today the term is also applied to both green and white teas that contain oil of bergamot. On Wikipedia .

I travel a lot between the two, and I can tell you that I can count the cups of good coffee I have had in america on one hand. My very first stop going North is at a Tim Hortan's to get a real coffee.

Traditionally the term "earl grey" was applied only to black tea; however, today the term is also applied to both green and white teas that contain oil of bergamot. On Wikipedia thx, that perfectly explained what i've been wondering. TBH, i thought there might be Duke Tea & Marquis Tea since there certainly is Earl Tea. The sad thing is, I don't know how to taste coffee, nor tell the quality. Normally, I just have the Nescafe or Maxwell, the kind with sugar and milk already mixed, pour in water, and done.

I like my sig... ~~~Sig Stuffs Here~~~ I highly recommend drunken posting. Oh yeah, you just lost The Game
