Here's the spread I put out for Sunday's tea.

Having some colleagues (all female) over for an afternoon tea tomorrow (a reciprocation tea) but trying to balance it so it's not a girlie tea. The tea will be strong, full-bodied (I wanted to brew up lapsing souchong but I don't think they'd go for it - I'll probably go with ceylon), I'll have smoked salmon, some cake with rum, homemade bread, red pepper hummus, banana bread, a salad with grilled haloumi cheese, and some stuff from Ikea's pantry. Looking forward to it - I was a bread baker a few years ago so I like getting in the kitchen and making stuff like this.

Hey all, glad to find a tea group on here. I reside in SW China so we have lots of tea here. I am partial to red pu'er tea and Oolong Tea. Not big on the milk and sugar unless its black tea. But hey, to each his/her own!

I've been living in Turkey for the last two years and when I first arrived, I was so happy to see that tea drinking is alive and well here. I always thought, "Turkey = Turkish Coffee" and they do drink it, but on average consume far more tea. When I go to any shop in the bazaar I'm offered a glass of tea - I love it. They do look at me strange tho' when I have tea with milk. :)

What a fine group of gentlemen y'all are.  I thought I was alone in being a tea-totaller (play on words, i.e. not coffee). 

I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only one that likes supermarket brands.

BTW, did y'all know that Starbucks tea is packaged in silk bags and not paper tea bags. Don't care for much of it though, but I do especially enjoy a Chia Tea Latte - no water, from there when I can splurge and the serving line is not too long.

Any thoughts?

Any guys, thanks for the many suggestions.  I'll have to try some of them out.

The Russian Smoky does taste like an English pipe tobacco blend. I'm enjoying my first cup at this moment.

If you haven't tried Rishi Tea you're missing out. They consistently win the most 1st place awards at all the major tea competitions.
