Try a mix - 1.3rd Earl Grey, 2/3rds breakfast loose leaf tea. Very refreshing with a light bergamot scent/flavour. Lovely stuff!

Yes Bud with you on both counts 8 pint mugs of tea a day at least and a coffee in between one of the morning one’s, Tetley’s finest 😊 Tetleys or Yorkshire Tea, dash of milk and one small sugar!  Bud 4/4 - Stanley

I'm a coffe snob but not how it sounds. I find most domestic coffee to be "average", so we never have it at home, When I'm out I can sink a large cappuccino at Starbucks or Costa, and enjoy it, although quality varies enormously. The only time I ever had a WOW coffe moment was in a hotel near Torquay, and that one occasion, for some reason it was exceptional. We went back the next year and it was rubbish.
So for me it's Yorkshire tea, (The plantation is just down the road). just with milk, and obviously Yorkshire water.
Is it Tetleys who are on the verge of going bust?

Definitely a Tea man myself .... however I will drink coffee ... my two favourites are either Portugese coffee that they serve in Madiera and the bog-standard 'crossroads-diner' coffee you get in any US small town ... free refils and, to my mind (and taste) well better than anything you get in a UK Coffee Shop with a board full of fancy options ... we seem to have become obsessed with Italian roasts that are roasted to the point of burning and end up bitter .... much rather be looked down upon by coffee snobs and go for something I actually enjoy drinking 🙂

Mrs Image and I just spent a few 'spur of the moment' days in Newcastle hitting a few galleries and mooching about .... we tended to use the monument to the eponymous Earl Grey as a navigational reset for our wanderings

Ps ... not a fan of EG tea ... not keen on the perfumey aroma ... same reason I avoid gin 🙂 ... Mrs Image loves it though.
