Imo Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Who else wakes up with a nice cup of tea in the morning? I don't think I could start a day without one!! Particularly this morning - was woken up by three wasps that had gotten into my room I needed some tea therapy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 My husband brings me up a cup of coffee every morning before he goes to work! Mine too Roxanne - although my tipple is weakish tea with not much milk. I miss it when he's running late and I don't get one. Aren't we lucky eh!

Omletina Kyckling Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I really feel I'm missing out. I don't like tea , never have. I have tried to like it as everybody raves about it and it's meant to be good for you but I just don't. Have said that, I like Kvällsro tea, which means "Evening Peace" tea, which is a Swedish herbal tea. It has lavender, peppermint and passionflower in it and it's lovely and calming on an evening, but it's not like black tea. I also have a Swedish licquorice tea which is quite nice. I love coffee though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I can't survive without my Earl Grey. It used to have to be Twinings, but since a recent trip to Bath, I bought a bulk load of "Gillards of Bath" leaf Earl Grey. It is to die for! I am addicted.

Cooks Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 pah! horrible stuff, give me black coffee anyday.. used to be white until they realised I was dairy intolerant I used to like White tea until I had a boyfriend (in my past.. ahem.. ) who's mother insisted on using sterilised milk in everything.. well one taste and that put me off tea for life.

chickencam Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Tea for me, that first cuppa of the day is very thirst quenching, can't drink it on an empty stomach though. Breakfast is also really important to me, has to be a bowl of some kind of cereal usually porridge in the winter and museli with fresh fruit in the summer and ice cold milk again very refreshing. I get really cranky if I don't get my breakfast and really light headed because I am sensitive to fluctuations in my blood sugar and have low blood pressure so it helps to get me going in the morning. I am not a morning person I don't wake up properly until about this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lucky! Except on the days he goes abroad and the coffee arrives at 4.30am and when I wake up its cold!! Good lucky with the impending arrival Popcorn - not long to go now... takes me back a few years!! My oldest daughter is expecting her first in September!

Tessa the Duchess Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I can't even think of doing anything first thing in the morning without at least two cups of tea. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 DH makes me a coffee first thing, I need coffee to wake me up then tea for the rest of the day, nice and strong with only a dash of milk and 2 sugars. Most refreshing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I love a cup of tea....with soya milk. Coffee gives me palpitations so I never touch the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Tea, white no sugar (and none of that skimmed malarky- semi for me)!! Couldn't function without it. Have a cup whilst getting ready in the mornings and one in the car for the long drive to work. I'm really grumpy if I forget to take my cuppa in the car.

chocchick Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I love tea in the morning, usually decaf variety. I don't need it, but it is so much nicer to have one with breakfast (cooked breakfast just isn't the same without tea), or to get to work and have a hot drink.

theherd123 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 NO!!! Did you know that Rich Tea are the wimps in the biscuit dunking world, what you really need is a Bourbon or a Hob"Ooops, word censored!" - they are the 'Big Beef' in the dunking business!
