Price of TEA to increase drastically

[nickdutch]

The cost of many things has gone up. The cost of a fry up at the local cafe has gone up by about a £1 which is a pain for me as that fry-up is a good post workout meal for me for when I have been using the outdoor gym.... which I wont do when its freezing.....

Hahaha, this was really funny. When I read the title, I was thinking "Those brits and their tea" .
Will this effect me? No. I can't drink regular tea due to a heart problem, it has to be decaffeinated. Decaffeinated tea is horribly expensive so I mostly drink herbal teas instead and herbal tea is something I can produce myself.

And to make matters worse Toblerone have swapped their chocolate/notch ratio so I'm getting less product and more air for my money

MissA: I've tried many herbal "teas" and found them lacking something.... Flavour for a start

You laugh, but during WWII the German High Command put serious thought into disrupting supplies of tea to the British Army in North Africa - thought the slump in morale would be worth a couple of Panzer Divisions.

Tasteless? There are several herbal teas that taste more than regular. Like Hibiscus tea (taste just like cranberry juice), Yarrow and Norway spruce-sprouts. Another oof my favorites is Linden flower tea. And if you ferment the leavs of rosebay willowherb it tastes just like regular tea.

Hahahaha. So instead of bombing you, the terrorists should just stop all of the tea imports to the UK.

There would be gallows erected before 8:00am if that happened round here and I've got a saw and screwdriver .. I need my morning tea fix to function rationally and normally

has any one else noticed , they have done the same with oxo cubes , instead of being a cube they have made them more like an x shape . it might not seem much but the bits they have shaved out all add up to a new cube . imagine how much they are making off the bits they cut out .

So, these are recipes ? I'll admit I've only had dealings with the stuff in bags my SIL drinks (insert "Shudder" emoticon here)

Could you please post a "Non-tea Teas for dummies" thread?
