What type of tea you drink says about you
Tea is an interesting one as most people who appreciate tea tend to drink it at home in their own favourite mug or cup. Generally you hear people say ‘ Do you want to pop out for a coffee ?’ ‘...going to a coffee morning ‘ etc etc, Tea seems to get second place for some reason ? How about when you have finished a nice meal out, cup of tea for you Madame / Sir ? or does the waiter say ‘Two Coffees ?’ Interesting isn’t it when you think about it. Some people even bring their own special pot to brew it in, not washed out of course as this gets rid of the build up of taste.
Earl Grey
Afternoon tea served traditionally at 4pm, Plain, black Tea, infused with the citrus flavour of bergamot , Air of superiority , takes time to appreciate the finer delicate detail of the flavour. Drinkers who take this tea without milk offer an air of pretentiousness. Take milk with it and you are trying to look posh but missing the point. (LOL – I Iove Earl Grey with milk, in fact drinking one now!)
Even Captain Picard (Star Trek drinks it) so it must be good ......
Builders Tea
Drink du jour, usually a jolly and creative type of person, spontaneous activities in you, but kept in control. You know what you are getting with a builders tea drinker
Chai
Trendy and cool, see the option appearing in coffee bars recently ? You embrace change with both hands (and feet) try new things even if just once. Quite a sweet little milky drink and not a million miles away from the sugary, caffeine free latte.......small kids like sweet drinks.
Lapsang Souchong - 拉普山小種/正山小种
Lapsang souchong is a member of the Wuyi Bohea family of teas and is smoky, similar to the smell of a campfire in fact !. .....’Oh darling ! how was New York ? ‘Are you precious ?
Don’t get me started on the whole bone china thing.....or milk first then tea or tea then milk ?
