Milk? In Earl Grey?!

Twining’s Camomile Honey Vanilla Tea is the one for me when relaxing. Morning’s are strong Scottish Black tea.

My wife only drinks PG tips… I tried Yorkshire Gold on her and it was a no-go… We’ve got about half of a 250-bag box of PG to finish and then maybe we’ll give Barry’s a whirl. Maybe.

It sounds like your problem isn’t minor variations in tea status; but unwillingness to be suitably honest about your drug of choice.

Conveniently, caffeine is inexpensive and unscheduled (your mileage may vary in the deep mormanstani badlands); so you have plenty of options.

Marijuana? Love it. Caffeine, also.

I’m guessing that it isn’t devil’s lettuce deficiency syndrome(DLDS) causing nonspecific fatigue and improductivity.

I like tea that makes my spoon stand upright. The blacker, the better.

That there is your problem. Like all food, tea gets stale.

I used to live right down the road from Harrogate, so YG just tastes “right” to me, but these days we get this stuff shipped from the UK:

Try the Danedar I linked to. It’s seriously strong

Yes.


Bags at the office for convenience.
Loose leaf at home.

What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Barry’s is the best bag tea.

125 bags left to go, so, if you are English, you should be finished by Sunday, at the latest?

I concur with @anon30760835; that’s a quality comment.

I picked up some Sainsbury’s own brand Extra Strong Red Label a few weeks ago, and everyone who’s tried it has commented on how good it is.

And, yup, you transatlantic folks can get it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Sainsburys-Strong-Fairly-Traded-England/dp/B076JJZKKK
