No....I would guess there are many other unfortunates who have never had the opportunity to sample a fine cup of tea served with freshly baked scones which are covered in fresh cream and strawberry jam.
Don't try to impress me with your manner of dress cos a monkey himself is a monkey no less - cold fact
One of the reasons why tea seems to taste better in UK is that it's made with boiling water. Whenever I am travelling in Europe or further afield, the tea is rubbish 'cos the water is never hot enough.
Tea also tastes so much better if served in a fine china mug or cup rather than a big stoneware mug.
On the weekend, I like to make tea in a pot with loose tea, either from Kenya or Sri Lanka, it seems like a lot of fuss but for me it's worth the effort. Otherwise it has to be Tetley's tea bags which I also try to buy in catering size packs from UK, as I hate Lipton's!

Can I suggest you try ''Yorkshire'' tea bags or if you would like a slightly stronger taste ( Kenya and Assam mix) then ''Yorkshire Gold'' - I hope you will be pleasantly surprised.
Courage is grace under pressure and when circumstances change you change your mind.
I'm addicted to the stuff; apart from a couple of beers and a stiff glass of Scotch it's all I've drank today.
There is an excellent Thai black tea that I buy in a shop in NangRong which is made by one of those OTOP co-operatives but I've never found it anywhere else.

Thank you, I'll give them a try next time I'm in UK - especially if they have a Kenya taste.
Don't suppose you can find them in HH.

I do not think there is a supplier in Thailand.
Ham & Bacon had it a few years ago and wanted to takeover the importation but nothing happened, in so far as it is not about - sorry

And I'm from England, we frekking cure things with tea.
"Had a bad day at work love? here have a cup of tea"
"broken up with your girlfriend? I'll pop the kettle on"
"Your entire family have been killed in a horrific accident, you've lost your job and your house is about to be repossessed? I know just the thing to fix you up!"
I really don't see the appeal. Tastes like licking a tree.
On my first trip to America, we stopped at a motorway service station. I picked up what I thought was a glass of coke, with ice and lemon. Imagine my reaction when it turned out to be tea ...................... cold tea is even worse

You lick trees?!
Like Steve, I drink tea by the bucket full!
And I'm the reverse of you tea haters - I hate coffee! Never, ever touch the stuff.
Difference in tastes in tea and coffee can also be attributed to differences in water. On the coffee thing I always bring back a large bag of Nescafe from Thailand, better taste and no glass to recycle.
