Black earl grey with one sugar in a huge fuckoff mug (like twice the size of a normal one, it's huge). Drink between 4 - 12 of those a day (seriously, love that shit).

Aside from that earl grey green tea is amazing, got some of that for christmas from my girlfriend along with a tea strainer and also some "soothing" chamomile, fennel and marshmallow root tea, which is the absolute shit. Big ups.

Pu-erh tea which i import directly from the Yunnan province of China. It's like the vintage wine of the Tea world, can command very high prices. I saw 400 grammes recently sell for £20,000

Im not paying that much but certain Tea ive drunk could easily be worth that if i kept it in my cellar for retirement.

yes, that shit is serious - if on the once every two months i drink tea, its pickwick earl gray with 10%+ milk and healthy dose of sugar. the biscuit kick sounds good, but i prefer a joint, as the tea always coincides with the start of a shift on warmoesstraat (if ya know ya know)

oh, and jasmine just makes me gag

Instructions for the americans:

Insert one tetly teabag into a cup of your choice

Pour Hot water in the cup from the kettle (make sure the kettle is full to the brim prior to boiling to avoid limescale - do a maximum of 3 cups per boil too)

Stir until dark dark brown/black

Whilst stirring add milk

Keep on stirring and with an additional spoon add two sugars

Scoop out teabag with one spoon and apply pressure with the other so you get the last bit of tea out and so it wont dribble on the way to the bin.

There ya go, perfect cuppa...

I also like ginseng, white and green teas - supposed to be good for you but mainly they taste good.

Jasmine tea is also pretty good..always pick up some tea at the chinese supermarkets, all good stuff

Wrong wrong WRONG.

Don't stir it with the teabag in it, just poke the teabag up and down in the water, mashing it against the bottom now and then. Once you can't see it at the bottom any more, the tea is strong enough, take it out.

Then do the sugar. If you do the sugar with the bag still in, the bag absorbs it all.

Once the sugar is in, stir it, THEN quickly add the milk. If you do it right, the momentum of the tea swirling about will carry the milk around and it won't need stirred again.

Behold, the perfect cuppa.

frig me its an art form.. it actually is.. does one o you enthusiast care to demonstrate how they do it in the east.. there's like some ritual or something tea pourers have to go through with over 100 steps; maybe exaggerating but yeah one of you lot get into it!

Too right Grand, putting the sugar and milk in whilst the tea bag is still in is just plain wrong though

This is the method traditionaly used for making Pu-erh tea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLcGch6koh4

I use a far less elaborate method due to time and the fact that you only get a very small amount of Tea out of the end result
All you tea bag uses are Philistines by the way. Indian floor sweepings.
