Tea
I am a massive tea advocate. Don’t add sugar as this ruins the purity.
Tea bags
Lipton
If you want black tea in America this will suffice.
Clipper
Nettle
Mango Green Tea
Dandelion & Burdock
Twinings
Green Tea
Jasmine Green Tea
Cranberry & Blood Orange
English Breakfast
Strong English Breakfast
Earl Grey
Not that good. Your better going for loose Lapsang for a real flavour.
Camomile
Camomile & Honey
Assam
Tastes good although you need to combine it with a second English black tea bag or it’s far too weak.

Pretty much all their teas I have tried have licorice in them. If you like licorice then happy days.

Tea equipment
The traditional English tea pot. Decent insulation and can be coupled with a tea cosy if required. Very fragile however.
Best all around option.
Looks impressive however not very practical. Also requires cleaning to keep it’s appearance. More for herbal or green tea use.
Rusted so therefore poor design. Also tea coolers quicker. Very heavy. Lid gets extremely hot and therefore is tricky to remove.
Another option is to poor the tea slowly out the pot. Racking off the tea.
I suggest blue top milk aka whole milk. Semi-skimmed will suffice.
Tea spoon
Used to measure out loose tea. One tea spoon per a person and one for the pot.
Iced tea
Tetley
Tetley Cold Infusions - Mint, Lemon & Cucumber
Probably one of the best iced tea bags I have found. Sometimes it can even be too strong an infusion.
Very odd strong smell, taste isn’t quite as odd. Okay with a little milk for a night time drink.
Lipton
Lipton Real Iced Black Tea, Peach & Apricot
I don’t like it at all. Sweet and doesn’t infuse too well.
Sweet sugary stuff. Fine if that’s what you’re after. American style iced tea.
