I've not been online much recently, in fact most evenings when I get home from work I don't even turn my laptop on, but I recently came across a couple of websites which may be interesting.
The first one is a bit of fun: The Tea Appreciation Society - there is an interesting tea 'infographic' thingy on their front page at the moment which caught my eye. Since I can sometimes be a bit obsessive with my tea drinking, it's good to see that other people take it as seriously
While I was browsing the tea site, they had a link to an online magazine called The Foodie Bugle, which I'd never heard of before. It looks interesting but I've not had chance for a proper read yet.

I used to drink tea all day, every day but now I have just one first thing in the morning, Yorkshire tea. I try to have a different kind of drink each time since this seems to be the only way to remember to have a drink. I know I should drink frequently to stay hydrated but I hardly ever feel thirsty. I've gone off white tea and green tea too.
I'll try that again!
I didn't know they grew tea in Yorkshire!
I usually try different teas whenever they're on offer and to be honest, I have never actually bought yorkshire tea. I do usually drink tea without milk though. For some reason, I find semi-skimmed milk usually tastes best - skimmed milk seems to manage to make the tea taste worse while full fat milk is just a bit too creamy.

We've always had Assam tea, as we like a good strong tea with plenty of flavour. However, since having all my various health issues, I've been drinking caffeine-free tea and coffee for the past couple of months. Initially, I thought they were both pretty tasteless at best, and disgusting at worst. Now, however, after trying a few different ones, I've found Clipper Organic Decaffeinated Tea with skimmed milk is quite palatable, although nowhere near as strong or flavoursome as Assam.

We have Yorkshire tea as well- if you cut out the tokens on the back of the packs and save them on a downloadable sheet of't internet, you can help save the rainforest too. Win Win.
