Decaf Tea

Slightly OT, I drink Tetley Original but a few years back I also started to drink Tetley Green Tea.

Typically, I have a cup of Original as my first tea of the day, then Green thereafter.

Mind you I tend not to drink as many cups as some other folk. 3-4 a day would be typical for me.
 
Normal tea all day until 6pm, then Tesco Decaff after.

We buy teabags but use them as single serving sachets - rip the top off and chuck the contents into the teapot. Pour through a strainer but don't drink right to the bottom as some fine tea gets through (but sinks). I find the teabag paper (or the glue/treatments) somehow reacts to make a scum on top of the tea, much better with just the contents, god knows what the scum consists of chemically. Plus the tea's just nicer when it gets to mix properly with the water. A couple of vigorous stirs helps the flavour.

Unlike the coarse tea you can buy as loose, the teabag tea is fine enough to pour straight down the plug hole without messing about. Also just rinse the strainer under the tap. We have our own sewage treatment plant system, it causes absolutely no issues. I'm sure any public system will be fine too. I like to think that the ground leaves probably help the bacteria in there and keep things fresh.

I don't claim to be a tea expert, but i drink the sainsburys own brand red label decaff tea and prefer it to decaff tetley or yorkshire.
 
I could not give up coffee and if my Sage broke, I’d immediately go out and replace it at any cost. I’ve even considered having one as a backup.

When it comes to tea, I prefer earl gray.
Im thinking of buying another sage for work.

I dont buy coffee out now. So worth all thst I have spent out.
