Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any tea drinkers on the fire?

No, not that pizz-weak cold stuff sold in bottles- - - - -real brewed tea made with loose leaf and boiling water. I just got a kilogram of black tea shipped from Sri Lanka, and brewed up a pot that makes a strong cup of coffee look like a 90 pound weakling on muscle beach! Two tablespoons of loose tea in a strainer ball and four cups of boiling water makes a really tasty drink. Heavy cream and a couple of teaspoons of sugar in a big mug- - - - -good stuff! Back in engineering school, it was the drink of choice around final exam study time.

Oh fugg off and hit yourself in the head with a 45.


2.2 pounds you dumb bastard.

Worked in Northern Russia in 95, my Russian crew didn't drink coffee and got me into their homemade tea. Local plants and berries and some stuff that I wasn't sure what was but it was pretty good. I haven't found any store bought tea that I care for. I can't drink black tea as it makes me sick and most herbal stuff is like drinking hot water.

Papa said son yer gonna' drive me ta drink'in... If ya don't stop Tea'in like Hotrod_Lincoln... [yeah i drink plenty of tea... The loose stuff is the best!.. But i just buy the cheap bagged schit at the grocery store...]

Tetly, Bold and Yorkshire Gold, Taylors of Harrogate, in bags though. Cant be bothered first thing in the day.

I get this herbal crap shipped in from Israel thats loose in the bag for when Ive had enough caffeine.

I am going to try to cut out soft drinks, but I hate just drinking water.

Going to take a shot at brewing strong tea but growing up southern, I'm not sure I can drink it unsweetened.

A kilo of.............tea, from..............strained balls..............



What's gonna succumb to pussified snobbery next?

Live in the Bassackward Sticks, but can't go anywhere else without having
a simple beverage order turn into a mix of virtue signaling and rocket science.

"Do you sell normal coffee? One large cup of that, nothing in it please?"

"No Ma'am. Just a glass of milk. As close to how God and the Cow made it please"
"Except cold. I do like it cold"

I like a nice cup of tea. Our Nerada, or Assam, or English Breakfast, or a nice Pu'erh. I quite like green tea too.

It is quite popular here. I grew up in a household where several cups a day would usually be had, and there's a lot who still do that.

I've never heard of anyone putting heavy cream in it. Frankly it sounds horrible, but each to their own. I like the taste of tea, so I don't put anything in it but the leaves and the water.

Only iced tea. Hot tea is for Yankees.

I lived in the Nilgiri Mountains of Southern India for a few years next to the Dundsandle Tea Estate. Needless to say I grew extremely fond of drinking tea and a lot of it. It’s amazing how good “high quality” tea really is. Personally coffee doesn’t compare anymore.

Iced tea for me.

Not really a sweet tea fan. Some people are serious about their sweet tea.

English breakfast tea for me.

We drink Yorkshire Gold in our family.

I source my yearly tea supply every fall before the snow comes & the ground freezes

Chaga from birch trees & Alaskan ginseng root from the cold earth ...

^^^ Gayer'n two dicks rubbing together

Haven't had Sassafras tea in a long time, come spring maybe I can find one to
pull over.

about the only tea I drink is a good cup of Lapsang souchong. That is a smoky flavored chinese black tea.

Hotrod_Lincoln knew the guy that invented tea. He and Shen Nung used to squirrel hunt together and then chase the honeys afterward.

Green tea when school’s on (I can’t call teaching “work”), coffee when it ain’t.

Coffee caffeine makes me GET mad rather than ACT mad, not a good thing in class.

There’s a world of difference between black tea and green tea. IME black tea has flavor but aggravates an empty stomach.

Green tea tastes insipid but the caffeine lift is gentle and lasts for hours. I drink it with milk as we used to do in England. 32oz in the morning.

Supplement with Coke Zero during the day as necessary.

Even the dullest observer would note that the habitual drinking of tea inclines otherwise normal people...to feel the need to suck up to royalty and the upper class.
