# I haven't tried that tea,
but I really like Twinings Darjeeling. It's awfully nice. 'Yum.' I think to myself when drinking it. 'This is nice.'

# try it
if you don't like it send the tea bags to me in the post and I will like it.

# I'm suspicious about fruity herbal tea
I think it's pot puri with fruit syrup added to it (either as dust or as a soak)... if you take bits of fruit and leaves and stuff and add boiling water to they you don't ever get the vibrant colour and tase you get with the tea bags...

# OK these are the FACTS
Coffee in the morning please, fresh, black, bitter, strong and ideally with a nip of Woods.

Tea is delicious. Twinings is the best. Earl Grey is refreshing and zingy. Milk no sugar for me please.

Chamomile tea is excellent for panic attacks. All other herbal teas are WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Thank you for listening.

Apparently it is half a Stella, a bottle of Smirnoff Ice and, optionally, a double vodka.

Tastes of fuck all and is quite strong. This seems to be a fashion in drinks that i just don't understand. I may be a raging drunk but I at least like my liver-necrosing poison to have some kind of flavour.

www.aberlour.com/abunadh/ ... the important bit being:

Today most malt whiskies are chill-filtered to prevent the whisky becoming cloudy when adding water or ice. This process, which did not exist in the 19th century, removes some richness and mouth feel as well as some fruit and sherry character.
