Tea anyone (Calgary peeps)?

We have just returned from the UK with a box of Yorkshire Tea for Hard Water and it has made the best cup of tea we have had since landing here!

Haha - no it is just cheap and drinkable. Starbucks for me or Cafe Nero if in UK.
I was never a big Yorkshire tea fan either but these are good. I was a Twinings Everyday fan.

Well seeing as I have to have a dairy free diet (stupidly allergic to milk in all it's forms), I can't drink latte's and the like...
Even if starbucks and the like do a soy latte they still froth the milk using the same nozzel that they froth the cows milk (just with a cursory wipe on the outside - but the dairy gets inside it too and that is enough for me to have a bad (seriously bad - as in a day or two in hospital, going blue and unable to breathe and epipen bad, bad reaction)....
I drink black coffee and black tea at starbucks... but the tea is better value at second cup... they charge the same for a large cup as a smalll (one teabag), whereas timmies and starbucks charge by the size of the cup....
my preference is earl grey for tea because it is a little less harsh when drunk black. I can drink most types of tea but some I need them to be weaker than others because of the amount of tannin (milk moderates the tannin effects but i cannot drink milk for obvious reasons)...

Enjoyed reading all the responses .... I actually love tea just can't drink it anymore.
Anyway the tea is here for the taking - BB December 2012 at which time it will grow legs and walk to the bin!
