I know some people like it like that (up at Altcar ranges the other weekend and saw our Ops guy but a half a dozen sugars in his coffee...) , but it is just not for me. I like the tatse of it <em>au naturelle</em>, but with a dash of milk. Too milky and it is ruined.</p> <p>I used to work at an old council highways lab and they had team at 10am and 3pm every working day. People would take it in turns to make the tea and then everyone would head out to the loading bay for a smoke, a chat, or just a brew. I've tried to get the same sort of vibe at work, and we do generally break for tea at 3, but it's not the same. The Flavia machine just does not make tea. It makes brown tea-like water. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tea/page/2#post-3601143 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 17:58:36 +0000 xherbivorex 3601143@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>i never put milk (of any kind!) or sugar in any tea except for chai, which must be milky and sweet at all times.</p> <p>i can't drink turkish or moroccan mint teas because they're way too sweet.</p> <p>and yeah, what juan said. if you're making tea with a bag, never squeeze the bag or let it brew for too long. they're both a sure fire way to a bitter cup of rubbish. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tea/page/2#post-3601092 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 17:38:36 +0000 john_drummer 3601092@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Morrisons red label by preference here. made in a mug (we do have a teapot but can't be bothered with all that nonsense).</p> <p>milk &amp; two candarel clone sweeteners - been drinking it like this for so long that sugar just tastes wrong.

If you make a tea in a pot, pouring it in a cup increases the amount of oxygen in the liquid (a bit like stirring a cocktail) doing so, the quantity of flavouring molecules in the tea reaching the back of the nasal cavity is greater, hence making the tea more "flavoured". So yes making tea in a tea-pot make some better tasting tea.</p> <p><blockquote>Squeezing the bag against the cup makes the tea bitter.</blockquote></p> <p>Well that's easy, polyphenols (or tannin) are the molecules responsible for the bitterness of tea (phenomenon of astringency). Basically, the more you leave tea in a cup of hot water, the more polyphenols you diffuse in the tea. Therefore pressing the bag of tea, will increase the concentration of polyphenols in the tea cup hence making it more bitter.</p> <p>Any other questions? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tea/page/2#post-3600996 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:43:08 +0000 chewkw 3600996@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Assam for me but then any other good strong dark tea is with me too.</p> <p>I drink with sugar but no milk. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tea/page/2#post-3600993 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:41:10 +0000 sc-xc 3600993@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Coffee would kick tea's head in in a fight. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tea/page/2#post-3600986 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:37:11 +0000 Houns 3600986@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Depends on the tea.
