I use decaf tea bags. Was brought up with tea leaves, hated the 'dregs' at the bottom of the cup!!

tea bags pg tips only.
i find that leaves don't make a strong enough brew for me.
OH drinks herbal and fruit teas as they help with his IBS.

I'm sure I've seen decaf loose tea in Tesco. I really am certain because I remember thinking, so why can't they do organic?

I buy tea bags for OH, can't stand the stuff myself, he's more than happy with the shops cheapest which is co-op at the moment.

Mind you, it does look a funny colour even to me

I like fruit tea, green tea is okay as long as you drink it piping hot.

I do make a pot of coffee in our tea pot, is that really cheap and nasty?

All teabags: Morrisson's special blend; rooibos; Twinings Wellbeing Lemon & Ginger. I always use a mug and have the ordinary tea and the rooibos with milk and sugar; the Lemon & Ginger just with sugar. Cannot bear the herbal or green teas.

Ooooh can't answer that poll cos it depends on the type of tea.

Brown tea - tea bags (Tetley or Tesco's in the red box) I don't drink that much any more.

Green tea - tea leaves cos they taste sooo much better than the tea bags

Other herbal/fruity etc teas - tea bags, only because that's how they come

I did get a cup and saucer out the other evening and made a pot of tea. Put it all on a tray with milk in a jug and everything. Felt all sort of grown up and "proper" :rotfl:

I don't drink tea (or coffee) myself personally, but have a couple of tea bags in the house in case DS fancies a cuppa or if I get guests (which aint very often!!)
Only buy tescos own brand and no-ones complained so far!!

It depends for me too. However as a rule I prefer tea leaves. Sometimes I just open the tea bag and use the tea leaves. However, when laziness has the better of me I just shove a teabag in a mug.

That's why I use teabags now. My late Mother wouldn't entertain the idea of teabags. It had to be a proper teapot, extra hot water, milk jug, slop basin (for tipping the dregs into prior to a second cup), cup and saucer (preferably Denby "Green Wheat"). Nothing else would do, bless her!
