Usually teabags, but loose tea now and again. If I get a cuppa loose tea somewhere it always tastes lovely. I've always got loose tea in the cupboard.

Re: Cuppa Tea ......

I would use tea leaves in my teapot if I could get a really thick tea cosy, they all seem very thin and so the tea gets cold too quickly so we go back to tea bags.

I prefer tea leaves and always use them if I have guests - the tea tastes so much better. Use the occasional Yorkshire teabag if there is just me and I'm in a hurry!

Try one of the craft fairs cranberry, there's usually someone there with the old fashioned knitted tea cosies.

Its usually tea bags for me these days.

Re: Cuppa Tea ......

I am not really a tea drinker. Just one cup a day and it has to be very weak so tea bags for me

I always do, don't have teabags in the house. Even when I am travelling I have one of those little gas stoves, a kettle and a teapot. If I haven't got a pot I have coffee, so one can stuff that up too much.

Tea is much better from a pot and much better loose.

One thing I have promised myself; next time I am in the UK I will have to visit these tea plantations in Yorkshire.
