I like the PG Tips tea, we are able to get it at World Market, a store here in the US that specializes in a lot of imported items and food stuff. I think our grocery stores are even starting to carry it now. Good stuff! :D

I know here in the Southeastern part of the US, Publix has started adding stuff to the International aisle. I do remember seeing Typhoo tea, but not sure about the PG. I'll look next time I'm in one.

Please do not think that we "Brits" drink a "breakfast tea" as different to the rest of the day, also we do not stop everything at 16.00 hrs for "Afternoon tea". A misconception from films etc.
C´mon... you can´t kill that cliche :mrgreen:

Even we have learned in school about that 5 o´clock tea in UK.
But we do in Germany. In the afternoon we do "Coffee & Cake" in company.

Which one do you have? I'm interested to get your (and others) opinion on IMPs.

It's one I haven't tried.
Hi Rattatto,

I believe that PG Tips is still available as "loose". To be honest I've not really noticed any loose tea in the stores, everything is now nearly "bagged", I do remember the day when tea bags were introduced,.......yes, I am that old :) .

This is what I have.... open to "interpretation".
One of youse guys sent it to me a year or so ago, and my [possibly flawed] recollection was that "somebody" said it was Canadianijian.

rattattoo maybe it's time to do a review for that Component.

As for the tea I have been a coffee drinker nearly all of my life including when I was a kid. So when I thought about having the tea for breakfast and No coffee, I was worried that I would not be able to get in gear. I found I was woke up and warmed right away. with no cream and just a little sugar it was a bit faster to prepare. And a minor thing, but still something. I think tea is easier on the stomach than instant coffee

Yes, that's Canadian IMP. I think I have a review of that menu item even, not sure if I ever did post it or just took pics. Damn work firewall blocking Photobucket, makes it hard to post on company time.

Oh, that's an easy workaround...just email yourself a copy of the links from photobucket, from say your phone, then just compose and copy over as you complete the post..

...and not saying where this info is from.... ;)

I'm gonna be by myself for the Holidays this year. The kids are in TX now and have duty with the other family components. It's hard to compete with a home in the Keys for a Christmas vacation, as opposed to dank, chill Maine.
So...don't know, guys.... whadaya think?
....X-mas breakfast?
.... save for New Year's Day b-fast?
Just get 'er done with?
