    What exactly transpired in our childhoods that made us so unbelievably addicted to tea?

    No idea, but I'm thankful!

    My mum drinks a LOT of tea (upwards of 8 cups a day, although quite weak), but my dad only ever drinks coffee. Perhaps my tea-drinking is a sub-conscious way of aiming to be like my mother? Urgh...I'm turning into her enough already without needing to copy her tea habits!

    Well, I suppose it is no secret that the Brits love their tea. It's our trademark. :cool:

    I was lucky enough to go to a tea plantation in Sri Lanka a while ago and got two bags of Orange Pekoe (one was Broken, and one was Broken Fannings). I agree, it's heavenly.

    I love tea so much!!! I like a strong cuppa, with milk and one sugar.
    My favourite types are PG Tips, Tetley tea and London Cuppa.

    Generally speaking, Turkish tea is my fav - but you can't go wrong with PG tips either.

    My day isn't the same without glass or two

    It's only bitter if you leave it to brew for too long!

    If you don't it kinda just tastes like hot water. That's why I make strong tea and then add a drop of milk, yum :tea:

    Might go to the shop in a min
