Thread Name: BS: Tea Bags or Loose Tea?
Subject: RE: BS: Tea Bags or Loose Tea?
Earl Grey is a delight, but I can't drink the stuff too early in the morning. Those dust bags, which we use in the UK, contain the bitter dust, which I would prefer to throw away. It definitely has to be a high quality Ceylon tea for me. Something like Ceylon Nr.4, which has a nice fruity flavour. The bigger the tea leaves the better. You can always brew up with a tea egg. In England you usually have to drink the stuff with milk and sugar, because it is so bitter!
