Needs about 1 minute more brew time than Sainers Fair Trade, but rewards with full flavour with not a hint of excess tannin. You have to buy in bulk, but that's no hardship for the keen tea addict. I've had my foil-wrapped tea for about 8 weeks now and noticed no degradation in recently-opened packs.<br />Plus they have nice 1940's artwork as their graphic theme!Craig Boothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807639775654475140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-74638495884313108232012-04-28T15:32:21.419+01:002012-04-28T15:32:21.419+01:00Perhaps you should amend your subheading to read &...Perhaps you should amend your subheading to read "Boats, beer, paraffin and tea".Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-1966323061527113602012-04-28T15:30:19.977+01:002012-04-28T15:30:19.977+01:00Lapsang Souchong in an insulated mug when cruising...Lapsang Souchong in an insulated mug when cruising first thing; black coffee at 1100; Earl Grey at 1515; Red Label at other times.

I presume it's expensive (don't know, don't care) but we save by buying it in bulk through our local "alternative" food shop.<br /><br />And yes - I was too polite to mention it but you are forgiven. Our guests often end up with a mouthful of tea leaves as we forget to warn them. We don't use a strainer: as a beer drinker you'll appreciate the importance of secondary fermentation in the cup!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502754753792780008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-17864092544575224592012-04-27T18:51:50.039+01:002012-04-27T18:51:50.039+01:00It's not only the beer that is good up north, ...It's not only the beer that is good up north, taylors is the best.

So much so that we sometimes can't even make it right for ourselves :-) We like our tea medium strength with very little milk. <br />Most of our friends just hand us the milk jug, one (Rick) makes it like pink gin, swishing the milk around the mug (china of course) and pouring it out again!<br />Also, whatever tea we are using (Taylor's of Harrogate ordinary at the moment) to give it an extra 'lift' we add an amount of Earl Grey tea, lovely. Enjoyed even by people who don't like EG tea normally. It was first given to me many years ago by a very gentile old lady who kept her tea in a real tea caddy and mixed it in the central bowl before making each pot.<br />By the way, Neil says his mother used to swear by Indian Prince 40 years ago - and more.<br />Kath (nb Herbie)Kathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-43402640508974880832012-04-27T11:22:27.030+01:002012-04-27T11:22:27.030+01:00I cannot agree more on Point 1.

Strong, milky tea is one of life's great pleasures in my opinion, especially if it has been made with looseleaf English Breakfast tea in an enamel teapot (preferably on a back cabin range).<br /><br />When cruising, we use leaf tea. When at home on a day to day basis I have to admit to teabags. Nice ones though. Co-op's Indian Prince is often in my tea caddy.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190832458135017656noreply@blogger.com
