Tea - 'It’s an old person's drink.'

Tea is a proper working class drink. When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s only posh people drank coffee.

I recall alot of it had chicory in it ? Old dear would drink Camp coffee & it had , I think , a label that would not be allowed these days.
Shame that kids are drinking tea & drinking soda as it is a drink in all forms that is very bad for ones health.
 
I'd a tea addict. I'd say I drink at least 10 cups of Yorkshire Tea a day.

I'm not fussy either when it comes to the brand. Regardless of the brand I'd still drink gallons of it.
 
I am something of a chain Yorkshire Tea drinker…feel lost without a cuppa. When out always need sugar if it’s some inferior brew like PG or Tetleys.
 
Tea is one of the four things I drink (and I probably have 8-10 cups a day. The others, water, wine and beer. Cut out everything else, although fruit juice is now a special treat.

I still have at least one cup of tea every day but it's an evening drink for me. I drink coffee during the day.

I'm really not picky with what tea or how I have it. It's more of a functional drink than one I have to savour.

An evening drink? Id be peeing all night if I drink tea after 8pm.

Obviously the failure of Tetley Tea has brought this to the fore. Its definitely not a beverage for the youth but I suspect it will make a comeback in sales volumes.

By the way. Bubble tea. Wtf is that all about?
 
Grew up drinking loose leaf tea from the days in my high chair, with a toddler beaker. In the holidays, when I was staying with my Nanna and Grandad down here in Halifax, I'd climb into bed wiwth them every morning for a cup of tea and a biscuit. I think I was still doing that at age 12. :ROFLMAO: These days it's Yorkshire Tea .... Gold if Royalty is coming round. And tea bags ... just less faff. My son, who would not drink any other brand of tea other than Taylors' Yorkshire, has now taken to making Matcha tea and Matcha lattes. Tastes execrable to me ... but he and Mrs 259 like it.

When I'm in Sweden I always take a big ziplock bag full of Yorkshire Tea with me. They're maniacal coffee drinkers ... though quite a few seem to drink fruity teas. The tea from the supermarkets there is mostly Liptons Yellow Label ... which is shyte. However there may be hope. In Skelleftea no there is T-Magasinet (The Tea Shop). Which is dedicated to selling all manner of fancy loose leaf teas. The Swedes tend to drink their loose tea by ptting it into a small, spherical, metal infuser on a chain.... which they drop into their cup of hot water.
