House of Steel - Tea

Here is a selection of teas which I drink frequently. I have assigned each one a Badgic Score (out of 5 badgers) for taste with milk, without milk, and with dunking biscuits, with 0 being unpalatable and 5 being exquisite.

Twinings Aromatics Lady Grey (Item A in picture)
This is a cross between Earl Grey and Lemsip. It doesn't contain paracetamol but does have a nice citrus flavour. Only to be consumed without milk. With milk it would probably be horrible, so I haven't tried it (citrus + milk = something awful). Not really a wake-you-up brew, this is more relaxing and should be consumed in the afternoon after completing your daily business, or perhaps for elevenses on the lawn. Dunking is inadvisable. Enjoy this infusion on its own.

Asda Tea Bags (Item B in picture)
The standard tea bag, sold by Asda, very similar to the standard PG and Tetley teas. This is the classic English breakfast tea, to be enjoyed with a full English breakfast (FEB), with lunch, in the morning or the evening, with biscuits or crackers and cheese, black or white, with sugar or without. It is ultimately versatile, a Jack of all trades but master of just one (dunking). I favour dunking rich tea, chocolate and standard digestives and the king of all biscuits, the Hob-Nob.

Twinings Rose Pouchong (Item C in picture)
Without milk, this is incredible. Like drinking pure liquid Turkish delight. Exquisite. Use 2 sugars and medium infusion time. With milk it is also nice but is not as nice as without. Use a longer brewing time with milk. Dunking is not exactly great but it doesn't matter - who needs biscuits when the tea tastes like this? Transcendental nirvana in a cup. Amazing. Good luck finding it though - I had to look in the Twinings shop on Fleet Street / Strand, opposite the Courts of Justice, before I found it.
