PG Tips

Excellent choice. We drink PG Tips at home, though my parents are occasionally reduced to Tetley when visiting the English shop near their house (well, I say near, it's about 20 miles away through scary French roads). Whenever I visit, I am usually under strict injunctions to bring enormous bags and boxes of PG Tips.

For my part, I don't understand why the whole world doesn't drink more tea, it being less in your face than coffee and altogether delicious, but there you go. I mean, coffee is nice, but tea's the thing.

Here's a question - do you take milk and sugar? Because when I was over there tea always came with weird things, like lemon. A proper British cuppa usually has a splash of milk and a spoon of sugar, though the amount or otherwise of sugar is optional. My Dad takes two and a half in a mug, and just thinking about that makes my teeth hurt. Whereas tea completely without sugar is like a day without sunshine.

And are you fastidious about making sure the water is absolutely boiling before pouring it on? Inquiring minds want to know!
