Nah! Yorkshire tea or at best, PG tips!! ;D

Oh no, not tea bags - Pleaaassese!! Fresh, Loose tea please - far less plastic too!

Loose tea isn't fresh either, it's dried just like in tea bags!     :)

It's certainly a lot fresher than bagged tea...
The main difference between loose leaf tea and bagged tea is the grade of the tea used. 'Generally speaking, tea bags will use low grade tea (called 'dust' or 'fannings'). ... It just indicates the condition of the tea leaves used. By contrast, loose leaf teas generally use the whole tea leaf...

You should ask the connoisseur tea-drinker, Guy, what he uses, loose or bags!   ;D

I'm sure Guy, MK and even RB prefer Loose Leaf to 'plastic' tea bags!!

The Yorkshire or PG tea bags are made of paper, not plastic!

Yes I know that, but up to a few years ago plastic or PLA was uses most certainly in Yorkshire tea bags and quite possibly PG Tips too....

My used tea bags go into my compost bin and before too long have completely disappeared and can go on to my garden.  That wouldn't happen with plastic.   I have been putting tea bags on to my compost heap for as long as I can remember and they have always decomposed, so they weren't plastic - I have always bought either Yorkshire or PG btw.  :)
Sorry but you have been composting plastic all those years - it's well known...

So, there we have it - plastic was the special ingredient for a good compost, which, of course, as you will know is essential for a beautiful garden!  I feel much better knowing that I have been doing the right thing for all of these years.  Thank you for letting me know.   :wave

There is nothing better than sipping delicious tea in a nice tea mug while listening to Knopfler music.   :wave

Well there you go, I always thought tea bags were paper. Actually, I never really thought about it.

Going back to topic, looking forward to all that mugs of tea on British Grove!

I'm still wishing that this 2022 not only have the charity project, and hopefully the new MK record, but also the Local hero musical back to London stages, and also the cd of the musical.

I keep trying to get any info from Guy about the musical, but always failing. I know he is quite tied about it and he keeps saying we will know something soon, but it is soon from more or less last year, lol.

Can't wait for news about it!

Someone I know suggested that to me a while ago, and It didn't really help, and I still couldn't drink it, I have milk in coffee too, everyone has there personal taste I guess, there is no right or wrong way to drink tea or coffee.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Tea is much more thirst-quenching and refreshing than coffee.  I always drink tea at home, but usually coffee in cafes, but it makes me feel quite hot.   I also find that tea tastes best in a china mug rather than thick earthenware ones.
