Oh BC you do make me laugh, I am on the Guinness now much better for you :-) Jeanette can you imagine BC with cheap Teabags, NO never!!! Pat x

We only buy and drink Fair Trade teas.............Morrisons Organic and Sainsburys are really good. All Fair Trade produce sold goes to help the exploited workers of those countries that have been providing us with cheap tea for centuries, enabling rich families and conglomerates to become even richer. Try fair trade teas and coffees and see for yourself. Nothing to lose on taste and quality............a lot to gain for the poorer of this world. Pam

Absolutely not Pat! I'm sure BC has got much better taste than that! lol

Following advice from a BBC gardening programme, I put the damn things in my compost bin. True, the innards rot away but bags are not biodegradable. Best drop them down the loo and flush. len

Sorry, Bendy, did not answer your question. Got quite carried away, I use PG Tips although sometimes I have a Guinness instead. len

That's the best suggestion I've heard all day Len! lol

PG Tips or Tetley Used to drink Ceylon tea years ago, but don't see it these days. D

Jeanette I am laughing so loud, Never thought of that Len what a terrific idea for those poor souls who use such nasty things LOL. Brilliant :-))) Pat x

Was never a big tea drinker. Hate the stuff even moreso since the tea factory my husband worked for made him redundant, and relocated to Liverpool! So I'm boycotting all teabags from Liverpool now. LOL Christine

Oooo...i love tea.. We drink either Tetley or Ringtons tea...always bags never loose..oh and i dont make pot of tea just do it in a cup.... :))

Christine take to the loose stuff don't be doing with teabags nasty things no matter where they are from. Oh and drink Guinness at night and you won't go far wrong :-))) Pat x

sorry Bendy dont drink tea,,im a coffee person,,,but has to be nescafe Rachael

Pat, are you on comission to the Guiness family? LOL My beer belly (and I don't even drink the stuff) is big enough without you encouraging me! LOL Christine

Christine Guinness does not give anyone a Beer belly so there :-))) blimey wish I was on commision, that would be handsome lol. I am on a fat diet, Guinness just doesn't do fat. Protein drinks do fat Guinness is Iron and loverly too lol. Just stay off Teabags nasty they are. Pat x

I agree with you Wendy....there are some teabags that are just plain nasty! Stick with coffee I think as I find it much more palatable......Bev x

Well, Benders, I don't mind 'ordinary' tea, as long as it's got lemon in it, not milk. I hate milk in anything. Mainly I drink fruit or herbal teas, but coffee is my favourite - fresh-ground, dark roast Arabica beans. Love the smell and the taste. I agree with the other gardeners about tea bags. Ours always compost down without any trouble - and there's nothing like adding good compost when you're digging. CB >|<

Don't drink tea, never have can't even stand the smell of it.

Tetley tea made with Yorkshire water. The water here is so much different to the water down south, you really can taste the difference when you drink tea, especially when you have it black like me. Jack x

I use Twinings they are the best English breakfast tea bags i can get in France and they are delish.

Dont use teabags,prefer loose tea it makes a better cuppa, ita all tea with very little dust,Put it into a tea caddy for storage & any dust accumalating at the bottom can be washed away before refilling. Have used PG Tips for many years. The family .even my grandkids, always say they like my tea best & its from a teapot! Shirley (getting a bit long in the tooth)
