Education Earl Grey...

And die in a fire. Totally over-used shite that no-one even remembers the original meaning.

 

That's what we needed to hear!

 

85c/4minutes, no milk, no sugar (don't you dare !) & a teaspoon of clover honey. I suggest to use a good filter so there wont be any leaf left at the bottom of the cup, also do not infuse it for more than 5 minutes or it will taste awful.

 

Absolutely. And don't use re-boiled water.

As for honey, mine comes from my own hive in the back garden. Did I mention that it won an award at the local honey show?

 

Philistine! Clover honey is too strong for a delicate tea. Try acacia honey, its much more gentle.

Nexxo, no you didn't Congratulations

 

Do you ship? I wouldn't mind some Nexxo honey for my tea.

 

I've been called many things, but never a Philistine.


BTW the Earl Grey is everything but delicate, it's a strong & manly, flavored with bergamot, citrus fruit and has a glorious smell of pepper.

 

Sugar, a lot of it, every time, in everything... look ma, no verbs.

 

I don't drink coffee for the taste dude and never have. I drink it for the turbo charger it kicks off in me.

Thus I drink flavoured coffee with sugar (black though but only because I prefer it that way).

Let's face it, coffee with no sugar tastes like ****.

I'll take a nice baggy of Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut any day.

Same goes for all these fancy teas. Earl Grey to me tasted like dish water. Rancid. Give me Yorkshire any day.

 

You just drink the wrong coffee. Try Monsoon Malabar, from Waitrose (not Sainsbury!) or preferably the Algerian Coffee Company in Soho, London.

 

So if all of you are drinking your tea and coffee straight... how do you drink your milk?

 

I've had the best Blue Mountain at over $40 a lb and I have to have sugar in it.

I just can't drink the sruff without sugar in it no matter how good it is tbh.

 

Primitive apes, all of you ! If it's not Kopi Luwak coffee with Sidr honey, I don't even look at it.

 

Coffee - depends on the coffee... some needs milk, some needs sugar, some needs both...

Black tea - no milk

Green tea - with milk *dons flameproof suit*

Booze - undiluted... no mixers, no ice, no stupid paper umbrellas...

 

Earl Grey would be best cooked over a spit roast.
His tea is best with a touch of milk or honey and a slice of lemon.

Good coffee is best with double cream and demarara sugar. instant coffee should be avoided at all costs

 

Definitely a 'Cpt. Picard' (hot or cold), Green Tea (hot or cold) or Ceylon/Victoria milk tea (hot or cold). Pu'er can be nice but it MUST be fresh.

Or Ali-shan oolong/black tea! /TW tourism board unofficial member

 

Just a spot of skimmed milk for me

I hope that suit is crush proof.

Milk in green tea...honestly.

 

Gabalong or Ti Guan Ye Oolong are my favourites amongst the Oolongs.

 

It seems to me nothing is conclusive! I can't see any logical reason to no have milk/ sugar in Earl Grey!
