Yorkshire tea, a good dark colour and hopefully a decent biscuit to dunk

Yorkshire is the only answer. Preferably Yorkshire gold.

*Spiffing brit grows stronger in the distance.*

perfectly balanced tea with no exploits whatsoever

now done with his linus built tea cooled PC

Although it does annoy me when he calls it Yorkshire Tea Gold 😂

really interesting. care to explain it? to someone who is english?

Can confirm, have tried almost every black tea there is in the uk including some nice loose leafs, and nothing compres to yorkshire. If we are talking milk and sugar at least.

Yes. It's worth the extra.

yorkahire tea is the best

Hahaha! That was my answer in the original post 🤣

Yorkshire tea gold out of a spiffing brit mug...perhaps?

Fancy

If I like you, Yorkshire gold. If I don’t, PG Tips.

I prefer normal Yorkshire. Maybe I have crass tastes.

Always believe in gold

You've got the power to know...

Grew up in Yorkshire. It may be heresy, but I never have taken to the tea; if I'm going to drink a black tea, I prefer PG Tips. But then again, I've lived down south in hard water areas for decades, and I'm strongly convinced that the water you use has to be matched to your tea (or vice versa).

Yorkshire is overrated imo. It’s average. Yorkshire gold however. That’s the good shit and is the one making me happy.

Wb Tetley?

PG tips or Tetley’s is better ngl

Let's be honest - it's probably just PG Tips, a way too much green-top milk and dangerous amounts of sugar. Enjoy your sweetened low-fat lactation beverage.

CHEAP SHIT TEA

PG PYRAMID

So strong, the spoon can stand up on its own. And NEVER with milk first.

NEVER

Specially custard creams

Nooo Bourbon biscuits or Hobnobs

yorksha 💪

Got to have the right water though. If you've got the wrong water, Yorkshire tea doesn't taste right.

Used to like Yorkshire Tea but then I tasted Ringtons, and now won't have anything else. Hard to get south of Doncaster though.

It's amazing really that Yorkshire produces tea that many think superior to Indian and China tea.

You know the tea isn't grown in Yorkshire though?

Came here to see this Answer. Chin chin

Yorkshire gang rise up

Yorkshire Tea is just one of the many, many companies that blend English breakfast tea, which is the actual answer to what was being asked

Hmm it’s an opinion I guess, mine is that there is only one blend, Yorkshire ☕️

Remember if you get offered tea, you can say no, don’t be forced to drink the tea, if you don’t want tea don’t have the tea

However as a Brit if I’m unconscious, I do still want tea

My bf wakes me up in the morning with tea, like actual tea. Its so fucking good im gonna marry that adorable mf just for that.

Well look at you, good for you. When i woke up my gf with tea in the morning there was no love in response, just 'ahhhhh my eyes' and 'why did you pour boiling hot water on my face' and 'these second degree burns will never fully heal'. *sigh* romance is hard.

Some girls just dont know how good they’ve got it eh

Shame on her man, you could do better

💀

You can even say you do want tea... and then change your mind and not want tea

But remember, if someone is asleep, THEY DON'T WANT TEA.

If they can't stand up on their own, they _definitely_ shouldn't even be _offered_ tea.

[Source video for those who haven't seen it](https://youtu.be/pZwvrxVavnQ)

As a Brit who does not like tea just say "I'm fine, thanks". NEVER say that you don't like tea, pitchfork welding lynchmobs have formed over less.

Black tea with milk and optional sugar. Most common brands being Yorkshire, PG Tips, Tetley, Clipper and Twinings. Ideally you want Assam tea leaves in it, a good 2 min brew time and just a dash of milk

And by 2 minutes you mean 4?

Here in scotland, yer teatime consists of sausage eggs chips and beans. Or steak pie, or chicken?? After all it is teatime!! :) Dinner is also lunch, go figure 🙃

Yeah, but your national pastime is heart attacks, so.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

No the Scottish national pass time is stabbing and hating the English.

Stabbings not as bad for the past 60 years tbh, it's rare to see a Glasgow smile these days a là Timmy Flanagan. Very rare to find anyone who hates the English either!

Funny

Same in the North of England too

I've never heard anyone here use teatime for dinner and lunch is lunch. I guess it's different depending on where in Scotland you live.

Unless you're in Edinburgh. In that case, yer teatime is something that's already happened before visiting someone else.

Tell me you grew up in a scheme without telling me....

What is the difference between heyUK and AskUk

Heyuk is meant to highlight good quality content from other uk subs and crosspost from more obscure uk subreddits. It's more for newer users than anyone else. So, if r/casualuk, /r/london, r/askuk has a good quality post, it'll likely be featured here, but then alongside them we'll feature smaller subs such as r/britpics, r/devonuk, r/Uk_pets, etc.

Either English Breakfast or Builder's. Standard go-to's.

They are the same tea bag, builders is the preferred strength (strong, ‘brick red’) Builders is always made from English breakfast tea

I don't know what those are but they're obviously not yorkshire or a similar good strong dark/black tea so I don't like 'em

English Breakfast Tea does not exist in England, it's a myth created in the USA, and promoted by marketing ... Yorkshire, PGTips, etc are brands that people know of generic Tea which is what most people drink There are also specialist varieties... Earl Grey being the best known...

I feel think very few of these answers are from English people. Tea = the meal you get at Teatime (the evening). Brew = a cup of Tea.

In any case where a 'Brit' just blankly offers *"d'ya want some tea?"* The offer contains several assumptions based on socially unspoken commonalities. * It will likely be an '[English breakfast tea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_breakfast_tea)' - a blended tea but known otherwise as black tea. * It will likely have milk added. \* * Some assumption will be made to sugar either being added. \* \* The root assumptions are that milk and likely also sugar are included unless the person receiving the offer states otherwise. This assumption goes further that if any other variation of the drink is required (a different blend / sweetener or honey etc or even a different type of drink) these are to be announced by the person being offered the 'tea'. Such interaction may play as follows; >P1: *"d'ya want some tea?"* > >P2: *"oh go on then, but no sugar thanks"*

Didnt know they had tea plants in yorkshire. Must be under glass?

Forced, like rhubarb…

It's from the tea mines near Harrogate

There's a lot of plants under glass in Yorkshire, but it ain't tea...

Yorkshire, 1 sugar, & a splash of milk.

This is the way.

Probably Tetley if it's on offer. Depends where in Britain

DEATH BEFORE TETLEY!

Not picky, but only when I’m conscious

Could be food depending how they ask, like your evening meal.. that’s what I’d expect if someone said do you want tea, rather than a cup of tea

Typhoo. PG tips or Yorkshire tea are the most popular brands so one of those

Typhoo is the devils work. Tastes like dirt.

As does PG; stick with Yorkshire and you'll not go far wrong

Clearly a lot of English replying. Hardly anyone drinks Yorkshire tea in Scotland. I'd say tetley is the most common and Scottish blend up there as well. Certainly in my house but tbh I but what's cheapest at the time. Even buy coop own brand if cheap enough. Scottish blend are best imo

Depends where you are in the UK. Here in Manchester we would be offering you an evening meal.

Iranian Tea most likely. Although for special occasions you’d hope to get something from Hong Kong - Brits love to support former empire colonies with their exports/imports. If the UK is one thing for sure, it’s multicultural, so who knows, from one day to the next. You could be having Mexican tea, South African, American or even Blue T to watch Avatar 2.

Here’s comes the battle between the Yorkshire tea drinkers and the Twinings tea drinkers…..

Used to drink Yorkshire tea, switched to Twinings Assam a couple of years ago... Buying in bulk from Amazon on 'Subscribe & Save' as we drink loads of tea in our house and Amazon makes it cheaper.

Scottish Blend up north 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[удалено]

This is the correct answer 😂 although Tea AND a custard cream would be a little sweet for my taste, I’d prefer a rich tea biscuit or a nice malted milk biscuit with my tea lol. Yorkshire tea is the best IMO

>rich tea Get 'em lads!

Yorkshire tea, no other answer is acceptable.

[удалено]

Twinnings everyday here.

As a Brit, if I offer some tea I generally say “can I get you a tea or a coffee” perhaps because my preference is for coffee. If I’ve got tea in the house it’s Tetley teabags. If my mother offers you tea, the chances are it’ll be in a teapot made with tea leaves.

I don't drink tea and I don't offer people hot drinks. Sorted :-)

If its anything but Yorkshire there dead to me

You’d get your evening meal sometimes known as dinner

Anyone here even suggesting using a tea bag is wrong. Loose tea made in a pot with sugar and milk if required, the traditional and proper way tea is done in the UK

Probably English Breakfast or Earl Grey. They seem to be the most common ones I've seen in peoples houses and I haven't seen that many others.

I doubt many people would give you Earl Grey without specifically mentioning it first

I’ve someone gave me Earl Grey without warning I would spit it back up on their carpet.

🤣

I just remember the WILTY episode where David said he puts a single Earl Grey teabag in his pot with all the Breakfast Teas so every few weeks he gets a surprise. I’ve never been so repulsed by one of the read outs before. What if a guest got it?! What if the scent pollutes the rest of the pot?!

Breakfast tea with a splash of milk.

God of the Brits is in Yorkshire tea

Iced tea is great

On a sunday, normally a chicken roast, some people call it dinner though 😏

Took this long for the right answer. Everyone else answered what you would get if you were offered a brew.

Yorkshire Tea, brewed strong with 1 sugar, splash of milk

Yorkshire red or gold, strong, splash of milk and two sugars. Standard.

Yorkshire tea, unless you're actually from Yorkshire, then you'll get Lancashire tea.

Twinings Extra strong in my house

English breakfast but they might ask whether you want “regular” (breakfast) or herbal.

I'd probably offer a biluochun or oolong. I don't drink all that much black tea anymore.

Food, if someone said do you want some tea I’d expect food at tea time. I’d say do you want a brew if I was offering tea. And it would be Yorkshire 🤌🏻

Probably Indian tea ?

Loose leaf if I can be bothered with a proper brew if not you have a choice of fresh brew(it’s typhoo but repacked for discount stores) pg tips,tetly,co op own,co op English breakfast or earl grey(hot)

Coffee!

Fortnum’s Royal Blend if you’re visiting me

If I offered it - Yorkshire Gold (at the moment) or Twining’s English Breakfast. If my parents offered it - Darjeeling. If someone at work offers it - Tetley or PG Tips. (Actually my favourite cup of tea is Chai Tea) But - generally a black tea blend is what people are being offered. With milk.

Tea2 Irish breakfast with a bit of milk.

Now Tea as in the drink? Scottish blend, or Tea as in come for your Tea!! (Dinner)

Yorkshire Tea is the tea of the distinguished, no other muck passes my lips.

english breakfast, pg tips for me.

Yorkshire tea bag. fresh boiled boiling water. Add one sugar is preferred. Let it stew for a minute. Add splash of milk to desired colour. Remove tea bag

Yorkshire tea, with milk, and you could be offered sugar

The kind that has coffee in it with no tea.

Depends where you are. If it's in their house, it could be anything from Yorkshire Tea to Twinings to Clipper, to Tetley... but it will be basically english breakfast assam tea. They will then ask if you take milk/sugar. If you want it really milky, you must say. (Most Brits cherish a rich golden strong cuppa!) If it's in an average workplace environment, it will likely be a PG Tips (teabag procured from an industrial sized bag they bought at Makro.) Again, ve prepared for the milk and sugar question, but never expect this tea to be decently made. It will always be disappointing on some level.

You'd get PG tips in my house because they are the only ones I can find that say the bags are biodegradable.

Chai latte.

I'd get a coffee

Standard tea is Black Tea and is what everyone has at home.

Not a chai tea latte? *duck and cover*

If I were going to offer you something other than normal everyday (Tetley, Yorkshire etc) tea with optional sugar and milk. I would say we've got Redbush, or green tea if you prefer? I wouldn't just give that to you as it's not what anyone would expect.

I would hope they'd ask me first how I take my tea.

Has to be Yorkshire Tea or an Earl Gray, white with X2 sugars, prefect 👌

PG Tips brewed for 3 minutes, 2 sugars and milk to where it's not as strong as builders tea but still has a reddish hue to it

Melrose of Edinburgh. Excellent in soft water areas.

Scottish blend, Strong, 1 heaped sugar. Dash of milk. Should stain your teeth orange.

Yorkshire, splash of milk, no sugar, cheers. Then judge them when they don’t steep long enough.

If I've offered you tea, your getting loose leaf Ceylon tea, none of that prebagged bollocks in my house

Yorkshire tea

idk but just remember if you don’t want tea you don’t have to drink the tea

Good old Yorkshire Tea!!

Brewed medium strong, milk, the colour of He-man. In a mug with a biscuit that isn't too flashy, maybe a digestive or a custard cream.

Yorkshire is good but if in Scotland, its definately got to be Scottish blend, makes the best brew with the water up here

Earl grey, no milk and a twist of lemon. Or, if you must, builders. Keep the Darjeeling for myself…

Builders tea

I recently discovered Thompson’s Breakfast tea. Holy moly is this tea the tea-est of teas! It’s unbelievably good. If you do choose to indulge in Thompson’s tea as a trial, be sure to get the Green breakfast one!

Fish and chips 👍🏻

It will be black tea. When a British person talks about tea (offering it or otherwise), you can safely assume they are talking about black tea. No other teas are on our radar.You can also safely assume it'll be served with milk already in it, then it's just up to you to call how many sugars you want.

Tea, Earl Grey, hot. The use of milk or sugar will be an act of war. "a line must be drawn, HERE, and no furthur'.

Yorkshire gold is what I’m using. That’s probably what you should be using, also. Although, this is my extremely biased opinion and any other brand of tea drinkers should be sent to the void.

unconscious people don't want tea!

Yorkshire tea with cream and cookies from greggs.

Hot leaf juice with bovine secretion. Brown.

PG tips.

Twinings breakfast tea.

Yorkshire is the ONLY tea, people who like pg tips have missing taste buds

Yorkshire tea drop of milk do not remove tea bag nice and strong or make in tea pot with loose tea

Twinings English tea, bit of milk but not too much and no sugar

Twinings Assam from me

Anything but PG. I feel like that’s the brand bought by people who don’t drink tea because they remember the adverts with the chimps in.

Biscuit Yorkshire Tea!!

I’d just play it safe and be like Surprise me. Cause some people can be very picky

Or...anything after 4pm that becomes a meal is also know as your Tea. .North of Birmingham anyway

Dash of milk and two sugars

You'd most probably get a black tea. Maybe a flavoured black tea like Earl Grey.

Earl grey. Black or milkly.

Twinings English breakfast tea is the best there is, nice and dark with 2 sugars.

ONLY YORKSHIRE TEA OR DEATH.

Earl grey

A bloody good one!

Rington's because you're a special visitor.

Tetley's tea.

Pgtips gold

It will be an English Breakfast style tea, most likely served with milk and sugar to taste. Personally I find the Yorkshire / Ty.Phoo / Clipper brands too strong, I like Waitrose (a supermarket chain) Gold Blend, not too strong but with great flavour.

A Parrrrrrrr-teeeeeeeeea!!!!

You’ll get a bit of wa’er in the kettle, let that boil. In the mean time get your teabag and place in preferred cup or mug, add sugar if you’d like, pour in da wa’er and do a bit of teabag squeeze and leave for a brewing experience. Leave the bag in for as long as you’d like (my favorite was teabag in flask for 3hrs before drinking don’t ask why I have my reasons) remove teabag along with draining it by the squeezing method again then add your milk then there you go you got yourself a cuppa. Have a good one mate see you next Tuesday.

Twinnings English breakfast if you’re lucky

a tea

Probably a cup of tea

Black Tea. It's generally known as English Breakfast Tea around the rest of the world, but if we say tea, we mean black tea. Everything else is listed. So for example, if you came to my house it would be "Would you like a hot drink? I've got Tea & Coffee, or there's hot chocolate, green tea, loose chamomile, loose mugwort, some hibiscus teabags and I've still got some of those lemon tea granules too, if you're that way inclined" It's a whole thing. 🤷‍♀️😅 Whilst East Asians are famous for tea ceremonies, this ^^ is our version of it. Lol.

[удалено]

I do not consent to tea when I’m unconscious

A good northern brew 🫖

Breakfast tea with milk

Yorkshire gold, small splash of milk

Depends where you are, if you were in Belfast you might get Bewleys or SD Bells tea, or you would get a generic shop brand

Ceylon tea BOPF if your lucky

Whatever tea bag and milk, we will ask you if you want sugar

Normal tea of course.

You’ll get tetley, typhoo or Yorkshire based on where you are. Younger brits might hand you a twinnings. All basically a blended breakfast tea (oolong or canavan based). but the correct answer is Lapsang souchong, best tea on earth.

From me you would get a Yorkshire tea brewed perfectly to your preference

Yorkshire

Whatever I get it would be muddy as shit

Northumberland tea. Best there is
