I like the big boxes of twinings earl grey from costco. I have many nice chinese and japanese teas but I like the convenience of the humble twinings bag

>>20079993
Red rose is better

Lord Nelson himself drank Earl Grey tea.

>>20079993
The best tea is Da Hong Pao

>>20080464
Nah, best tea is Mao Dong Pe.

>>20080094
>MFW Yorkshire Gold was sold out and I needed to buy Twining Irish Breakfast instead.

>>20079993
Drinking too much Earl Grey will cause harmful reactions. Look it up.
Avoid.

>>20080474
Nah, best tea is Ching Chong Dong

>>20079993
It isn't. First-flush darjeeling is the champagne of teas.

>>20080580
>darjeeling
too much tannin. Shit tastes like drinking an oak barrel with no whiskey

>>20080580
It's the queen of teas, you're thinking the champaign of beers

>>20080584
That sounds more like second-flush.

>>20080588
No, "champagne of teas" is the phrase people use in English. I wouldn't be surprised if it's called the queen of teas in another language, though.

Dunno.

>>20080711
Sorry, no, the "champagne of teas" thing was something invented about 10 years ago and it just took off, it is and always will be the queen of teas

>>20081161
Yeah, both are just memes and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Harney & Sons uses the phrase "Queen of Teas" but "champagne of teas" seems to be more widespread.

>>20081285
It's this new thing I swear someone got confused with beer and it just stuck given the power of the preexisting slogan

>>20079993
they saw picard drink it and they wanted to be like picard and have romulan pussy on demand

>>20081441
Who wouldn't?

i regret starting the earl grey meme years ago

>>20082334
>meme
Nigga I was happily drinking that shit 30 years ago, you didn't start shit.

>>20080559
I didn't look it up, but it seems to me that most of the harmful reactions are from Anon when I post too often about drinking Earl Grey. Understandable, I suppose. *sips*

>>20080588
It's the Ferrari of beers; you're thinking of the Aston Martin of brandies

>>20082334
>i regret starting the earl grey meme years ago

>>20079993
pfft. Its ok now and again, But Yorkshire Gold is the tea of choice.
Also if you are talking refined then you wouldnt be using a teabag you peasant

>>20080464
for me, it's Huangshan Mao Feng

>>20079993
Earl Grey is good but only on a rainy autumn day

>>20080474
Incorrect. I'd say it's Ning Due Pyou, hands down.

>>20083221
>all the leaves are red
>and the Earl is Grey
>I've been sippin' tea
>on a rainy day

>earl grey from a bag
>when a pound of dried tea costs the same amount and is infinitely better
americans should all be castrated. kellogg had the right idea 100 years ago.

>>20080554
crazy how yorkshire tea was considered one of the worst teas not too long ago and now through aggressive marketing people imagine its good, for some reason. its not

>>20083085
snigger

>>20080094
Same, I have yet to encounter a brand with as much availability and value as Twinings with a taste just as good

>>20081441
You’re damned right I do

>>20083867
He should have insisted on the lapsang souchong. Earl Grey is for cucks.

>>20083925
Lapsang is great, it's the mezcal of teas

>deliberately hindering your potassium absorption
Enjoy dem cramps

>>20084049
>he doesn't eat ten bananas per day

>>20083867
why not just get loose leafs especially it the type of cup you're drinking your tea from?

>>20083281

I like a good Assam with a splash of milk.

>>20079993
Makes me vomit if I drink it on an empty stomach, but that might be because I do 7 — 11 cups at a time.

>>20086268
>7 — 11 cups at a time.
>seven to eleven cups
>AT A TIME

>>20081133
lol

>>20080584

lemme guess, you made it with boiling water?

>>20086478
Yes.
