I once put 4 bags in a cup and I still could not get a strong brew.Lucky my Mum is coming in a couple of weeks with a new supply!<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-88588906145647233682013-05-17T15:51:18.676-04:002013-05-17T15:51:18.676-04:00I use Wissotsky fromIsrael and buy the 2g bags (th...I use Wissotsky fromIsrael and buy the 2g bags (they come in 1g or 1.5g aswell). For a really strong cuppa just use two or in a teapot with an extra bag. The tea isn't inferior, the bags are just smaller. <br />Rachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-42388511299674962112013-05-16T22:39:02.923-04:002013-05-16T22:39:02.923-04:00I remember that ad.

Do you still get tea from the UK or can you buy it in Israel now??<br />GIllyxGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-37678229485800918982013-05-16T22:34:59.813-04:002013-05-16T22:34:59.813-04:00Does anyone drink tea in Texas? i guess it's n...Does anyone drink tea in Texas? i guess it's not quite the same as drinking tea in central heating while watching the rain drizzle! When we do get to have tea together, it has to be a cream tea!

It said: Nothing is as good as the first cup of tea (meaning the one drunk after a long day's work or shopping and finally sitting down). I've tried it and that second cup just isn't the same.

I have to say I would rather drink a hot cup of English tea even when the temperatures outside are soaring!

We had a wonderful time just chitchatting & taking a deep breath before plunging into our busy days. I miss those days - it was the friendship that made them so special! Ok, the breads were good, too! There is something wonderful about having tea with friends or family. To me, it's a celebration - appreciation - of the nice things in life. A moment to take it what we often overlook in our daily rush. Today, our family still loves tea for any occasion, at any time. Make mine a cream tea, please! xoxo LynnLynn Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809903893172593375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-62101394354895716472013-05-14T09:28:37.508-04:002013-05-14T09:28:37.508-04:00I'm from Long Island where the popular beverag...I'm from Long Island where the popular beverage was a Long Island Iced Tea, a very different kind of comfort.

We can get it it here, but it is double the price and 80 tea bags don't last very long! I keep English teabags with me at all times and my friends have got used to me producing them at their homes! I hope to have a cup of tea WITH you one day.<br />GillyxGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-66260352346896182442013-05-14T08:10:53.308-04:002013-05-14T08:10:53.308-04:00Nothing beats that cuppa and a piece of cake after...Nothing beats that cuppa and a piece of cake after a fast!

Our dear friend, Vivienne, always invited us to her home to break the Yom Kippur fast. Each year we would break the fast with a strong cuppa tea and a slice of honey cake. Indeed that tea was a hug in a cup! Even now, when we are back in the States and breaking the fast with friends and family, we offer tea and honey cake and it brings back sweet memories of our Yom Kippur break-fasts from Down Under. xo ShariAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524183719513336568noreply@blogger.com
