Black Tea

>>8291817
Twining's bagged tea? Uh, put hot water just off the boil in cup, put tea bag in water, steep 3-5 minutes. Adjust to taste.

Throw away Earl Grey, or give to some vegetarian chick at work or something. It'll go with her cupboard of herbal teas with stupid flavors. Bergamot a shit.

I like loose Assam black teas (pretty much all your "breakfast" blends). Sometimes Darjeeling black is good. Steep in a teapot, infuser, french press, or use a disposable bag. Never squeeze steeped leaves. That's where the tannins live. If you want stronger flavor, use more tea instead. Just follow the directions on the box/tin. Have fun exploring the wide world of exciting black tea.

Twinings tea is shit. The only ones there remotely palatable are the two breakfast teas, although the Earl Grey is OK, although weak.
This is tea here in the pic.

And this is how that tea should look. Just a little milk, not half a cup. Definitely NO sugar.
It should almost take the skin off the roof of your mouth

Teabags are Ok - don't let people here tell you otherwise.

Looseleaf tea is no good unless you are making a pot and like to mess around with a strainer afterwards.

Tea with milk (as is tradition) should look more like this >>8293242 and not like this joker >>8293247

Protip: Full cream milk is best avoided with tea, use semi-skimmed.

Sugar optional.

how should I prepare this shit also which do you prefer?
>Boiling hot water
>5 minute steep
>a splash of milk

>>8291817
Use the tea thread cunt

Water has to be boiling, if the tea is reasonable quality and the teabag has a cord . . . you can just dunk it a couple of times and it will only take about 3 minutes before adding milk.

It needs to look this this anon posted >>8293242 although slightly darker is no big deal.

Most Brits use Yorkshire Tea™ or PG Tips™

The tea thread is full of weeaboos - pretending they know about Japanese tea. It's best ignored.

The second pic looked more like a cup of coffee.

Nobody drinks tea like that.

>>8293306
I drink tea like that, Amerifag.
I use zero fat milk too, because even semi-skimmed tastes greasy to me now. Never full fat, that's vomit-inducing
I don't like too much milk in my tea, and neither do others in my family.

Saying 'redpilled' is a stupid meme that should die out.
