What are your favourite indulgences that make a great cuppa.

Mine is the following...

Kenco Rich

PG tips pure tea granules

All with some nice fresh green top milk and 2 generous tea spoons of brown sugar.

Starbucks microgrinds instant coffee is amazing but expensive.
Kenco do a cheaper version but way inferior- though better than any other instant i've tried.
PG or Yorkshire Tea

Twinings Earl Grey, Lady Grey or Sunshine Grey (but not their Lapsang Souchong- that's horrid!).

Black, no sugar, just tea and boiling water.

I never drink instant coffee. Can't stand the stuff.

Clipper Fairtrade tea for me (Did you see that Jim, twice in a week)

Lavazza Red coffee takes care of all of my coffee needs.

Both with a splash of milk and no sugar, thanks. My body is a temple.

Taylors do some other blends too, the posh ones are even better.

Sea Dyke Brand White Tea (Chinese) is really good too. The Chinese know how to make tea, you don't have to be from Yorkshire to make it right (but it helps).

Clipper tea is pretty good too.

PG tips granules

Green top milk? Presumably you mean semi-skimmed as green top is unpasteurised whole milk and very difficult to find.

Ah - we nearly match- except for the tea where I like Rooibos (red tea) or TEAPIGS peppermint.

Yorkshire tea? to me it tastes worse than the 500 teabags for £1.00 in the market!


I used to exclusively drink Tetley tea, but I have found recently that PG are better. (for me anyway, but I guess it's all subjective)

I seldom do coffee (and NEVER "instant") but to be fair, McDonalds fair trade stuff is ok to my pallate.

For the instant stuff Carte Noire for coffee and Sainsburys Red label teabags. Otherwise Columbian beans for coffee or a mix of Kenyan and Ceylon for leaf tea.
