Earl Grey is an afternoon tea! I spent several years in the UK and my British neighbors and myself enjoyed coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon... served in the traditonal way with on eor two lumps of sugar and a dollup of real heavy cream..... dntn
a good earl grey cant be beat,in paticular on a chilly morning squirrel hunt.
yep! earl grey , or a nice hot cup of green tea ! depending on what kinda mood I`m in at the moment !
Earl Grey is a good one, but I really like Lapsang Suchong.

Is that the one that tastes like smokey tarred rope??
two bags in a pot. earl grey and green tea...makes nice smooth blend.
That would be the one!
sassafrass tea is real good!!!!!!!
I like a Chines [sp]Green tea. I use the leaves, not the bag, with lemon.
Really liked sassafras tea when I was young. Step-father used to dig the roots, hang them in the shed to dry & debark & brew as needed. Can't buy the roots & I haven't found any on private land that I can dig up.
Can't find exact recipe but was called spiced tea, very simple-good on cold morning or sore throat! Instant tea, tang orange powder, wylers lemonade mix and little cinnamon just add a few tablespoon or to taste to hot water. be something simple to carry bag on huntin mornings or camp
sassafras tea is good , luckily for me it grows danged near everywhere around here !
Russian Black Tea. A good green loose leaf tea also. I will hold my nose and drink Red rose, but I do not really care for Orange Pekoe/Pekoe blends. There are a lot of herbal teas on the market that are outstanding and don't taste like a hay bale.
I like nearly any tea, Wild or imported. Sassafras is quite good, penny royal, spearmint, wintergreen,
As for the imported type stuff., I like Orange Pekoe, Chammomile, Oolong, African red tea, But my favorite is quite hard to find locally, I am not even sure I can spell it right, Viet Namese Saipan tea, it is got quite some bite like ginger tea.
[hmm] I can just see all you mt men sittin round the fire in your buckskins with your little pinkies in the air, sippin your tea from your little porcelain tea cups :mini-devil-28492: personally coffee or pass the brew chrrs
ROFL We be tawny,awfully tawny.

Got up this morrning had set up the pot so all I would have to do is turn it on....... Its not worrking 'shok' 'shok' pnic gess Ill just eat the grounds with my oatmeal. :blech:

I used to drink a lot of Ginsing tea, an acquired taste. Lived on Comfery tea for several years, an acquired taste. Green tea... if I have to. A good licorice tea is not bad. Never could acquire a taste for Blackberry tea.
I have pretty much settled on Earl Grey, I am just careful of the brand. Some are almost enough to make me leave coffee, other brands require coffee to remove the taste.
Even though I am a coffee drinker I always have tea available in camp and on treks. Its great for a quick brew while on the trail... hi:
I cannot drink coffee without bad results so....I drink tea.
lipton, green tea, arizona maderin green,Herbbal, just about anything. I made my fair share of sassafras years ago, need to do that again.
Nothing smells so good as coffee, when you can't drink it.
skrt Not tea but great when you come in cold and wet. hntr In a large mug drop a 1/4" slice of lemon. Bring a Dr. Pepper dang near to boil. Pour over lemon. Add a shot of Jim or Jack. (susp) Enjoy the warm up!! chrrs chrrs
sweed
;D Why we could call it Sweede tea..........You'll be famous......... ;D
I'm sorry this is the TEEtotallers corner please take your alcoholic banter to another area :mini-devil-28492: :applause:
and pass the jug marked XXX on your way out!
Good dark strong Irish Breakfast tea. hard to beat with "two lumps and a dollop"
If you can find it, try some Twinning Lapsang Souchong tea (try it while reading James Michener's "Centennial"). It is a manly brew, worthy of the effort it takes to find it.
I have some , I can send a sample if you like...
Ah, tarred rope in the brew...
Doug
;D Think i will stick to earl gray........Oh by the way its good on sunburn too....

No shortage of earl grey here (link below).

And I'll stick with my stainless steel tea ball. My tea tastes better out of a stainless ball.
Every repro smoker out there is using better steel than back in the day. The specs are tighter and safer. The powder is better. And most of those wearing wool are actually wearing a wool blend.
Even the guy that replies to my post saying he would never own anything that was not 100% wool, if we went through his kit one piece at a time there would be non PC materials.
I work in a world of "close enough". Wool blend is fine with me. Any tea ball over tea bags. Any cap and ball over cartage. Any leather over vinyl. If taking one step back from 100% PC greatly improves cost, comfort, or safety I'm fine with that. I'll enjoy the experience just as much as the guy in 100% wool hand woven on a hand built wood loom.
More power to the guys that strive for 100% PC. They will keep our hobby alive long after I am gone. But forgive those of us that take the easier path. Some of us could not play otherwise.

could`nt agree more ! feller on another site is always praising original pennsylvania rifles , and high dollar customs . recently called spanish ,indian , and italian guns junk and suggested that those who could`nt afford custom get a second or third job so they could ! I kinda put him in his place ,was as gentle about it as possible but set him straight on the reality of life for many of us ! we`d love to have the absolute finest , but the next best thing at a greatly reduced price serves the same purpose !I`ve owned them all at one time or another , from a cheap belgian gun to a few older customs , and one or two originals ! liked them all , and all did what they were built to do ! what the heck more can you ask for ? nothing is perfect , nothing needs to be perfect !
I wuz only joshin ya ..... pnic I don't wanna be 100 % authentic.... I'd miss my pizza and propane stove hidden in the tent! cuch
(susp) they did`nt pizza back then ? that`s inhumane pnic , gotta have something to go with the homebrew ROFL
They did have the pretzel. In 610 AD "...an Italian monk invents pretzels as a reward to children who learn their prayers.
