After reading through the whole thing glad to see tea drinkers here!!

My grandmother is from England and I have visited several times and am very close to my family there. I love a good cuppa! I'm very picky about tea and don't like the fruit teas (and don't consider Lipton "tea" although I will drink it if it's the ONLY tea bag around. Yes, I'm a tea snob.) I also take my tea black with 2 sugars. I'd love to have a few Bakewell Tarts to go with my lovely cup right now!

Ah, that will do it!

So...in your opinion, what's THE best brand when it comes to tea?

I don't have a gall bladder (had that removed back in May '04 after it went bad on me), but thankfully, that only affects my ability to digest fatty foods. I can still eat spicy stuff and drink coffee. Granted, I have acid reflux disease, too, but Nexium makes quick work of that. Stuff works like a charm.

I have gastritis, and basically coffee is a no no, but I still have it once in a while. It just makes me very...um....how to politiely say this.....gassy.

So great, it seems like every other person here has something wrong with their digestive system. Yeesh.

I bet everybody here has at least something or another physically wrong with them. It almost makes me wanna start a "So, what's wrong with you?" thread.

If you don't, someone will.

Normally if I have tea it's some kind of mint. lol Peppermint or spearmint. It works wonders for relieving headaches and settling an upset tummy. Since I suffer from tension, sinus and migraine headaches I always have some on hand.

In my opinion PG Tips or Sainsbury's Red Label.

I just finished yet another cup of PG Tips. I can get that here in the states, but have to have someone bring over Sainsbury's.

Yum!!!

I'm drinking a nice cup of steaming hot French Roast coffee right now, with French Vanilla creamer...

I like some of Tazo teas.

I also used to like Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger, but don't have that very often, maybe will buy a box once a year or so. I determined that I really like the tea box art better then the tea itself.

I also had once a cup of Hibiscus Tea mixed with something else I can't remember, it came in a little can of tea bags. I think they bought it at Borders Bookstore. Anyways, It was very good. Unusual.

I would feel both weird and strangely guilty starting a thread prompting people to tell everyone what's wrong with them.

I dunno... there's just something weird about asking people openly for that information. It a bit different from them volunteering that info themselves. Just a little.

I've never had those two teas, even while visiting England. I'll have to give those a try and see how I like them.

I wonder why is that flavored teas are not that popular in the UK. Could it be that flavored teas are not strong enough?

That sounds pretty good, Michael!

Do you add the liquid creamer type?

Jazzy - Ya know...I keep looking for that raspberry creamer EVERY time I go to the store...but I never see that flavor!
