Personali-tea? Tesco Organic Tea Bags. ~ Tea ~ So, what do we know about tea? Does it have any Personali-tea or not? I suspect most of us have some ideas about it but not a great deal. For example, I know of the Boston Tea Party events that took place in December 1773. I know that Tea Bags often have the left over tea - the dust if you like - left once loose tea leaves have been produced. I wasn't aware for a while it was Tetley's in the UK who produced the first commercial tea bags as a direct result of rationing of WW2. Nor did I realize there are more than just Black and Green Teas until hunting for some information about it. You can ...  Read the complete review

Tea breaks, they are my salvation, I am temping as a receptionist at the moment and the only thing I look forward to are my tea breaks, they help break up the tedium of my day. The office I am in at the moment have something called Lipton Yellow Label Tea Bags and I hadn’t heard of it before so I decided I could write a completely unbiased review.

The tea bags themselves are the sort that you use in the cup, a finely perforated bag with a long string attached and a small paper tag at the ...  Read the complete review

I first discovered Lord Nelson Earl Grey tea when my boss asked me if I would like to try a cup.

I am allergic to dairy products, and love tea. I drink loads of it. But as I can't have dairy products, I always drink my tea black. And without sugar (I'm sweet enough, obviously!). So what? Well, unless you are like me, you probably won't realise that a lot of teas are very bitter, especially if stewed for a longer period, which makes them quite unpalatable if you don't alter the drink by adding milk. Milk cools the tea down, but also takes any bitterness away. Probably the best tea I have found to drink is the Golden De Luxe tea bags, produced by Northern Tea Merchants. They cost £1.89 for 110 tea bags, which makes then ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago, when we went on our organised tour of China, one of our visits was to Xian and the Terracotta Army site. In addition to the obvious attractions of the Terracotta Warriors and the excavations the site also has a number of pavilions offering various insights into the Chinese way of life. One of these was the Tea Pavilion. Towards the end of our day's visit, there was nothing we fancied more than a nice cup of tea. The Chinese, however, don't do things by halves. The Tea Pavilion is a celebration of all of the various styles of Chinese Teas, from White through Green to Black, and probably all shades in between as well. I have ...  Read the complete review
