I have Twininnigs English Breakfast in the morning and then I pick a tea I prefer. I love Keemun and specially Pu Erh, which I drink in the afternoon. Usually without anything, or just bit of whole milk. I make a small kettle of it, like they have in the tea houses and pour it into one of the smaller cups. It makes it more ritual for me to drink it this way, plus it keeps it warmer.
I also love rooibos. I drink that a lot too. Usually without flavour. But the best one I ever had was the one my colleague got me from South Africa. Fingers crossed she brings me some this year too!

I do that, too! :D I (or, well, technically it's my sister's, but she left it here) have a small teapot set and I often will make up a pot of a loose leaf tea and pour it into one of the small cups that came with it. I agree with the sentiment that it is more of a ritual that way. :) It's also perfect for when I'm studying.
I also forgot rooibos, which I also love. I've not had it in so long, though. D: I think the last time I drank any was when I went to South Africa, four or five years ago now. Hmmmm, I think it's time to buy a box...
Also, I've never heard of Keemun before. May I ask what it tastes like? :3
My favourite tea drink is a Manchester Fog (sometimes known as a Vancouver Fog, or a vegan London Fog). I used to drink it in my favourite cafe when I lived in Dorset.
But I havenât had one in ages. Now I just stick to English Breakfast (not fussed on the brand) with lightly sweetened soy milk.
For normal tea itâs got to be black with sugar, unless itâs an auld wifey making it, in that case itâs however they like to make it, always tends to be the best!
Flavoured teas it has to be mint, spearmint if possible! Teapigs is my personal favourite! How anyone can have milk in flavoured tea baffles my brain!
These days I have green tea with my breakfast (just as it comes - nowt added), and for the rest of the day itâs builderâs with almond milk, no sugar.
Either Tetley or PG Tips. Tea bag and 1 sugar in mug first then boiling water, good brew then a little milk.
Or
Made in a teapot, tea, boiling water, brewing time (preferred method but only for snobbery, I canât actually tell the difference as long as properly brewed in mug - think the choice of tea negates the snobbery though ), poured into mug, add 1 sugar, add small amount of milk last.
What I hate is when you go to a coffee shop and order a tea, they then give you a cup of hot water and a tea bag on the side!? Pour the water over the bag folks. Shouldnât have to do the pathetic bag dunk thing just to resemble something that relates to tea!
I get my leaf tea from Forleaves online. I drink Assam, Keemun, Ceylon and Golden Yunnan but I also love the Malty Biscuit Yorkshire Tea. It tastes as if youâve dunked Malted Milk biscuits in there but without the gunge at the end.
