Favourite brands of tea or coffee

[Rose65]

At home I like Yorkshire teabags, no sugar , just milk. I gave up sugar in tea years ago i find I can taste the tea far better. I also buy Yorkshire decaffs and alternate my drinks, to keep caffeine levels down.

I don't drink coffee as it is too strong a taste for me and too much caffeine.

So what do you like?

My assortment of teas include: Twinings, Stash, Bigelow, Tipson, Tetley, and Lipton. Sometimes I have Red Rose. Lipton is my least likeable.
Also Yorkshire, PG Tips when I can find them.

I have a few other imported brands I picked up in Home Goods because I liked the pretty tins.

When Pure Leaf Tea (loose leaf) was sold in Target I tried it and thought it was very good. It has disappeared from the stores near me and only sold as a bottled tea, which I don't want.

Same as you, I don't use sugar in my tea, never have done. When I have a bit of a sore throat I put a little honey in the Lemon Ginger tea.

The only tea I add milk to is the plain black/orange pekoe teas. I enjoy the flavors of my teas. I;m currently near the end of a box of Stash's Christmas Eve Tea, it has no sugar added, yet it tastes sweet due to the spices.

Long Live Tea and Its Drinkers! Put the kettle on, please.

I drink both. Do not use sugar in either coffee or tea. I think it ruins the true flavor.

I keep two 2-quart canning jars of ice tea in the refrigerator at all times. I used to only use Red Rose tea bags until about two years ago. Now I use the Lipton big tea bags. Not really particular about it. I also have a variety of herbal teas which I drink hot.

Coffee is what I drink when I first get up in the morning. About 3 cups. I do not normally have more unless I have gone out to eat. The brand I am buying presently is Mayorga coffee beans. I tried Amazon's brand of coffee beans and have to say it is very good and I plan on ordering it again also.

I drink Tim Horton's or McDonald's ground coffee. O/H grinds Starbuck's coffee beans. Tea, I like Earl Grey and Green Teas .. different brands. One coffee at breakfast. Tea, usually when I feel under the weather. Otherwise, it's water.

PG Tips tea bags, usually a cup at a time but occasionally I’ll brew a pot. I started off drinking tea with my mother made with milk and lots of sugar. Quite a long time ago I gradually phased out the sugar at a time until I finally none at all. I was content until I was having tea over the holidays with relatives who were using sugar in theirs. That inspired me to put in a very small amount. I like it better that way now but it has to be so small an amount that I have to really taste for it. If it is obvious I don’t like it. Of hot drinks, I mostly drink only tea at home but coffee if we’re out.

 

[Wren]

I only ever use Tetley teabags and Kenco Decaf coffee, enjoying both nice and strong with milk and one sugar

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Fave tea: classic Barry’s Irish Tea

also Marsala chai (from scratch)

 

[Ruthanne]

I like Bigalow Earl Gray tea. Love that flavor. Right now I am putting soy milk in it but use other things at times. Sometimes with a bit of honey.

 

[shopaholic]

We are coffee drinkers here, but only in the morning. I drink Maxwell House from a coffee maker (& use flavored creamer) & husband uses Folger Black Silk k-cup pods. I will occasionally use flavored coffee k-cups (no particular brand).

 

[Right Now]

"The best part of waking up is Folger's in my cup!" Sometimes Maxwell House wants to jump in my coffeemaker, too!
No K cups for me, as I feel the coffee beans need more time to release their flavor when the water drips through. I prefer to make it myself.

 

[moviequeen1]

I never like the taste of coffee but like the smell of freshly brewed
I like to drink non caffeine tea e.g Celestial Chamomile,Salada,

 

[Marian]

I drink a cup of coffee in the morning. In the evening, I like a cup of tea. My favorites are Bigelow Cinnamon Stick, Twinings Lady Grey, Twinings Chai, Twinings Lemon Ginger, Twinings Heart Tea or Rooibos

 

[Ruthanne]

I also drink coffee . I like French Roast a lot and most brands of it, too. I bought some Espresso coffee beans and ground them. It's pretty good -its Bent Tree brand. I have some Lucky's store brand French Roast and Jamaican too. Then I have some Erie Island Coffee Company Morning Launch. I don't pay much attention to coffee brands but named those since you asked.

 

[Muskrat]

We drink coffee…buy and grind the beans and do french drip. But when I travel alone I get those little taster’s choice instant packets. I always use milk in mine….

 

[Lee]

Folgers, two cups to start the day. Like Chai and Earl Grey, no milk, no sugar.

 

[hollydolly]

I hate PG tips and Tetley with a Passion... Probably because I'm not a connoisseur of tea.. and they are way too strong and bitter for me.

I don't like Earl grey because it tastes of perfume...

However, I'm a tea-aholic. I drink tea all day long but it as to be just coloured boiled water tbh.. very very, weak... and therefore I buy only the supermarket cheapest own brand

I drink about 2 litres a day with sweeteners and skimmed milk..

Tetley British Blend before noon. PG Tips decaf after noon. I've been looking for a good sencha loose tea but have yet to find "the one". Tea is always hot with nothing added to it.

I drink mostly coffee, but only in the morning. I buy green beans and roast them myself. If you are interested, here is my source:

Sweet Maria's Home Coffee Roasting

It is quite easy to do and you can't beat the price. I recommend the SR540 as a roaster.

 

[Bella]

I buy organic coffee beans online from coffee roasters, 10 to 12 pounds at a time. Right now I'm switching between Mexican Chiapas and Peruvian. I like organic English breakfast tea, which I buy loose in 2-pound bags. I mostly drink organic herbal teas in the evening from Pukka, Equal Exchange, Organic India, and Traditional Medicinals, which include nettle, roasted dandelion root, ginger, and tulsi.

 

[Jackie23]

I have different flavors and brands of tea and coffee in my cabinets but right now I'm drinking mostly Folgers House Blend coffee and Crystal Light Peach or Lemon tea.

 

[IKE]

Nothing fancy, exotic or expensive when it comes to tea and coffee here......Lipton instant and Folgers Classic suits us just fine.

 

[debodun]

I only drink tea as opposed to coffee - I like Bigelow, Stash and Celestial Seasonings.

 

[StarSong]

I drink 3-4 cups of coffee each morning. First one is half-caff then I switch to decaf. Use a Keurig, but fill my reusable pods with Costco coffee. DH drinks strong, fully caffeinated coffee that he grinds from beans (usually Starbucks or Peets, depending on what Costco has on sale) and likewise fills reusable pods. Since we drink different coffees, we don't make it by the pot.

I froth a precise combo of oatmilk, almond milk and vanilla pudding mix that I devised (don't ask) to create a slightly sweet version of the luxurious fluffy flat white topping I fell in love with during vacations in Spain and Italy.

Cold afternoons and evenings I switch to decaf green tea or one of about 8 different herbal teas in my tea caddy. Sometimes add a squeeze of lemon or half teaspoon of honey, but usually don't.

 

[Lewkat]

I drink Peet's Brazilian blend coffee. Either ground or I'll grind the beans myself. If I cannot get it, I'll settle for Community, a Louisiana based company. Both are delicious and satisfying.

For tea, I prefer either Twinings or Bigelow.

 

[Wayne]

1 large cup usually of black coffee in am, not a tea drinker at all, prefer ice water with lime, coffee brand would be Community Dark or Costco Dark roast, always black.
