WHY DO BRITS LOVE TEA? | AMANDA RAE

[robinfryer]

Hi Amanda, you might like to try Jackson’s of Piccadilly, Earl Grey. Or Lady Grey. Black tea is also tea without milk. I prefer milk but no sugar. Black is nicer a bit weaker. Lemon is nice with green tea. China tea is served without milk or sugar. Twinning is not a tea. Twinings are suppliers of teas. Twine is thin string, used for whipping ropes. Twinning is pairing, particularly towns.

I think you hit the nail on the head when saying it’s comforting. Someone’s upset, put the kettle on. Can’t solve a problem, put the kettle on.
I remember as a kid, stuck in hospital recovering from an op, my mum said I perked up after the matron made me a cup of tea 😂
PG Tips or Yorkshire tea are my favourites.

I lived the first half of my life in the UK, but moved to the States in 1993. I enjoy coffee, but don’t find that it refreshes me the same way tea does - especially that 3pm pot that really picks me up. At home we have an electric kettle, proper teapot, and a cosy.

When Amazon started selling Yorkshire Gold at an affordable price was a very good day 😁

My wife is a Tea junkie. 7-10 mugs a day minimum. The kettle seems to be on a permanent boil! For her it's English breakfast tea. For me it's a strong "builders" tea first thing in the morning followed by lighter more fragrant Earl Grey during the day both with sweetener & a little milk. When I was working in an office I was on black filter coffee all day long (6-10 mugs a day). Now it's mainly tea with the odd instant or bean to cup coffee now & again.

Hi, Amanda. Good idea to do a tea-tasting video. There's such a wide variety of interesting flavours to choose from!

As a proud tea-drinking Brit, I have to correct you: ''A cup of tea can solve all problems'' - isn't a saying - it's simply a statement of fact, a nation-wide all-encompassing law backed up by hard, empirical data and a proven scientific fact!!
PG or Yorkshire Tea are my go-to brews, although made just right - very few brands will make a bad cuppa! A nice strong tea with just a splash of milk - perfect!, I had a workmate many years ago who loved (and made others) the milkiest tea imaginable ... I don't believe they ever found out what happened to him ....

If you enjoy a full strength tea, it's got be Yorkshire tea. Loving the videos x

Having been born in London 70yrs ago next month, I was christened with tea, bathed in tea and when I cut myself I bleed tea 🤣🤣.
I normally drink 10-12 cups a day.

If you are doing a tea tasting then you should also do a video on the tea adverts especially the chimps drinking tea. The immortal words of “you hum it I’ll play it” by the chimps removal men taking the piano down stairs is the best .

Hi Amanda, PG Tips has been my favourite tea for many years.

[anthonystreeter]

When I moved from England to the US forty years ago, before the internet, it was difficult to get my PG Tips. I had to find specialty stores (often Indian - Asian). US teas too weak. Never order tea in a US restaurant. They will bring you a cup of luke warm water and a tea bag. You have to add boiling water to get any flavour

[RVPartsGerald]

Hi Amanda, yes please do a tea taste test. Yorkshire is my favourite and it goes well with the hard water here in Idaho. Nothing beats the tea brewed
In the UK

[iancomputerscomputerrepair]

Hello Lady Amanda. I think that you should do a reaction video of you trying different teas, especially as you have only tried Tetleys. While you are doing Tea tasting, you should try biscuit dunking!

[Will-nnux]

I liked the way tea was described in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. "Dried leaves in boiling water.", with milk 'squirted from a cow'.

[ericgraham-gfqy]

You should try Ringtons tea, it is a business based in Newcastle upon Tyne and can be ordered on line they have a variety of different teas.
If you are a true tea lover it's a brand well worth trying you won't be disappointed.

I've recently gone back to tea from coffee. I drink Yorkshire tea with two sugars and black. Delicious. Tea and a pint (or two) are a British staple

[johnspencer]

I believe it is pronounced Twine-ings. As a point of interest when I was in school very long time ago, I was informed that High Tea was when the tea pot was held quite high from the cup when being poured. The reason for this was to replace the oxygen back into the water which of course had been boiled out in the process, (who knows the truth?)

Our passion for tea has caused all sorts of problems. Carl Marx got it badly wrong; he misheard someone saying, "proper tea is best", and wrote down "property is theft". That's caused no end of trouble.

Tea got me through university. A pot of tea was my “go to” study drink. These days I will have 1 cup of coffee in the morning and then if I have anything else “hot” throughout the day, it is tea.

[bobwhitenstall]

When I moved over to Ireland in 2006 I was introduced to Barry's Tea. It's a great brew, I prefer it to most UK brands.
