Rington's tea is really nice.

I love the rington's instant coffee! Haven't had the tea but I don't really drink tea.

But the instant coffee is the best I've had. I have it at home for if I run out of the real stuff.

I'm sad because the US distributor for Rington's is kaput... I'm going to Newcastle in April so I can stock up then but what will I do next year?!?

My Dad loved Rington's coffee. There's a near half empty jar there and with him just passing away (funeral was yesterday) I dunno if it will get used as my mum doesn't really drink coffee and I don't like it at all. He loved the smell of it especially.

Wait I had no idea ^ was who you are until you just said that. I'm very sorry about your dad, K.

I'm drinking a big mux of Twinings Strong Breakfast Tea (pyramid loose leaf teabags) right now.
My Dad loved Rooibos tea. Because there was no caffeine in it the cardiac doctors said he could drink as much of it as he wanted over the last 20 years despite having heart failure. He did. His heart stayed strong til the end too. It was sepsis (which he had beaten before) that got him.
Next time you guys have a tea or a coffee, you can toast him. He loved his tea and coffee.

my go-to black tea is just Trader Joe's irish breakfast - round bags, no stringGod only knows who makes it but it's pretty solid everyday tea

I'm also a fan of rooibos anytime after noon but despite it's non-stimulant claims, I sometimes get wired on it -- anyone else get revved up on rooibos?
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 26 January 2024 21:24 (three months ago) link
yes me because it is so effin good
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Friday, 26 January 2024 23:27 (three months ago) link
I'm gonna start salting my tea because I'm annoyed by how much attention this story is receving

Josefa apparently you can do the Cubano either way. I find it easier to tamp down the sugar on the coffee, and I think it improves the extraction that way ...

To comply with thread etiquette I will agree that rooibos is the shit, very pleasant tea.
― assert (matttkkkk), Saturday, 27 January 2024 00:59 (three months ago) link
xp I'll keep that under advisement. I only have a Moka pot so I can't do it that way.
