mommysue · 25th November, 2007

whoops · 25th November, 2007

LOl the peace and quiet doesn't seem to have happened yet and not sure it will now! Dh has decided that he would prefer to watch the cricket

whoops · 25th November, 2007

Just finished a mug and to be honest I didn't think it tasted of much! It wsn't unpleasant though! Maybe I'll leave the teabag in a bit longer next time!

Hedgemag · 25th November, 2007

Glad you have tried the GT Whoops.......It might take a couple until you get it to your taste...

missymoo · 25th November, 2007

Ive been to Asda this afternoon and also picked up a box ..... if I dont like them I'll pass them onto my gran to try .. lol ... I'll try a cup later this evening.

I love green tea - and no longer like black (builders') tea! I like Twinings Green Earl Grey and Green Jasmine (yes, I know we're not allowed it) best. Some green tea just tastes sort of damp though (don't really like Starbucks for instance) and it gets really bitter if you leave the bag in for too long. Top tip for London green tea loving CDers - try Crussh's, it's absolutely gorgeous, sort of peachy. Tastes so good I have an anxious sneaky feeling that we're probably not allowed it!

Hedgemag · 26th November, 2007

I have also found that Clipper do a Decaffe Green tea....................for anyone that would rather have no caffine!

Mug no. 3 down already today!!.....must get some more water down as well!! (norty HM x)

Mrs V · 26th November, 2007

I'm drinking a Tetley's decaf Green Tea as I type and it's great with 2 sweetners!

I would like to join the gang too!!!

Earl Grey is rank!...so are fruity teas...remind me of trifle and then such a disappointment!

KerrieW · 26th November, 2007

Just started on Green tea with mint (assumed this would be ok as we're allowed mint tea?) I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was having never been much of a tea drinker!

Hedgemag · 26th November, 2007

Glad to see our GT club growing lol

sazzy34 · 26th November, 2007

I have never tried GT, I don`t like "normal" tea or coffee or hot chocolate ,,,,,,

but on the advice of fellow miniminers I wil give it a try, will get some tomorrow and let you know ??

crazyjane · 26th November, 2007

lovin it lovin it lovin it!

I'm a coffee addict but partial to a cup of earl grey (black) with lemon occasionally.

I'm not overly keen on green tea, but experimented with a weak cup and the smallest amount of Cambridge water flavouring (the summer fruits one) last night and it was really quite nice - it tasted a bit like the smell of herbal fruit tea - if that makes sense.

I'm going to make a bottle of it tonight, with flavouring, and chill it in the fridge to take on the road with me tomorrow - I've always liked flavoured iced tea, and I think this could be a good substitute.

Whilst on tea - has anyone tried Pu-erh tea? I fell for this 'miracle weight cure' and forced myself to drink the vile stuff for weeks. And the weight? Suffice to say I'm on Cambridge now........
