I miss that! I really should make it so...


Very much my normal tea and it MUST be made in a teapot, none of this
dunking a tea bag in the cup nonsense. Totally uncivilised.

My XYL drinks Yorkshire Tea and knows it will be divorce if she brews it
in my EG teapot ;-) It is dreadful stuff, I can't abide the smell. I've
a friend in the USA who loves it and I feel guilty when I take him some.

The Harrods 'smokey' EG is very good, although I don't drink it all the
time. A friend bought me some as a gift. Normally it is Twinnings EG,
sometimes with honey and lemon. There is an excellent Tea Rooms in
Canterbury which does their own mix, Bentley something, which is similar
to EG. I've been tempted to adopt that as a reserve tea.
