I’ve had both Yorkshire varieties and PG Tips and I like them all just fine.
But you commit sacrilege and put cream (half and half but its still cream) in your tea! You can't possibly taste the tea if you do that.

I know. But it continues to upset me.We’ve discussed this, and even earlier in this thread!
But the last time we talked about it, you agreed that half-and-half, which is what I use, doesn’t actually count as cream, since it’s weaker than single cream, being more like whole milk extra.I know. But it continues to upset me.
But your honour I appeal on the grounds it’s more than whole milk.But the last time we talked about it, you agreed that half-and-half, which is what I use, doesn’t actually count as cream, since it’s weaker than single cream, being more like whole milk extra.
I rest my case, Your Honor!
Hey, you have to file a separate case, you can’t just rush into the courtroom, powder wig askance, and start litigating for the prosecution!But your honour I appeal on the grounds it’s more than whole milk.
Whole milk is 3.5%
Half and half is 12%

Yep, good ole Yorkshire tea. It's strong. It's also about double the price of other teas on the market and, to be honest, unless you're a tea connoisseur, I don't think it's worthwhile. When we were in England last year, we bought Sainsbury's Gold Label, which cost about £1.80. Yorkshire cost double that.I believe it is from Yorkshire. It used to be sold in square tins with lids
When I was in the Indian Embassy yesterday, one of the expats was in the kitchen, with a saucepan full of milk, water and tea leaves. Since I was going to make "masala chai"...I asked him what was in the saucepan.And I’ll remind everyone it could be worse…my mom puts a big ol’ pat of butter in her coffee…

I must say, I’m glad we have Tea Court
There’s no Lipton‘s sold near me in Spain.
Oddly enough in-spite of being a very old British brand that revolutionised that sale of tea (it was an expensive product in the 1800’s and Mr Lipton decided to buy it wholesale and sell loose tea direct to the masses) once Unilever bought it in the 70’s they decided to make it for export only so you can’t buy it here either!
I have to say though I wouldn’t drink Liptons out of choice. I don’t know if they deliberately reduced the amount of tea in the bag for the Spanish market but you need at least two to get even close to a cup of tea at home.
As it’s easy to transport teabags and there are Brit supermarkets in Andalucia I don’t worry about it.
It’s the water quality in Spain that ruins a cup o tea. A ‘Zero’ water filter Is the only way around it and they don’t last long, which at £15 a pop and the filters going to landfill isn‘t great.
I tried distilled but that also produces odd tea, there’s obviously some necessary mineral level needed to make a familiar cup of tea.
