jenniflower Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Is it just me? Sheffield seems to be hit with a sudden 'fruity teas' epidemic. How many times have I been offered this at people's houses in the last few months? "Oh, we don't have any proper tea, do you want some green/lemon/dandelion tea instead?" And now i am now part of this revolution becuase I actually like them. Is anyone else the same? What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I've got a cupboard full, but they aren't the first thing that finds it's way into a cup then again, enough people have something to say if they find out they're getting English Breakfast instead of the dust brushed off the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I drink the top one all the time. http://www.nbtea.co.uk/acatalog/Green_Teas_China.html Also drink Dr Stuarts Detox tea and Aruvardic detox tea. Pepeprmint tea is OK but most fruit ones are a bit crap. Twinnings tea is all rubbish but seems to be all you get in most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedge Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 nah fruity teas, you want a good strong cup of 'proper' tea, PG tips all the way, no milk, two sugars please! and not those '1 cup bags' they make p*** poor tea, a normal bag for one mug full!

Titian Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 If you want something truly horrific (and an aquired taste, which I haven't managed to aquire yet) try Mate tea. It takes a long time to make and has a certain ritual of making and drinking it. Very beneficial even if it does taste like contents of an ashtray with hot water mixed in. http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ExecMacro/ecoteas/home.d2w/report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Has anyone tried the coffe alternative you see in Holland and Barrat. I believe the you are what you eat woman recomends it to her clients who say they can't live without coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Also drink Dr Stuarts Detox tea and Aruvardic detox tea. The Dr Stuarts teas are very good, but it says on the packet you can't have more than 4 cups a day of some of them, they have quite powerfull herbs in some of them. I find with fruit teas they smell realy nice but don't have any taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titian Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'm not sure which one you mean but I have Barley cup. It's ok but I guess if you are a coffee connoisseur it isn't going to be acceptable. It's a little like Mellow birds coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniflower Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 I like the orange, ginger and honey ones. Yum yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
