Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)
If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:

wouldn't be surprised if this was still part of the UK citizenship ceremony
Still. 😂😂😂
As long as lipton is last then you pass
@@astralhorizon1938 It should
be on there!
I know what you mean . You mean you wouldn’t be surprised if Evan was still doing his British citizen test and tea judging was part of it . I agree with you !
😂😂😂😂😂
The quality of this video makes it feel like a tv show. A tv show of an American drinking tea... I’d watch it... I mean I am. I dont know it gives me a lot of serotonin!
THANK
@@evan poor rye jones, he didn't get several thanks, he only got the one
Y@@pigeon_the_brit565 Yes; poor Rye Jone (sic).
The reply was in CAPS though. Maybe Evan's caffeine hit still hadn't settled down.
Evan is British thank you very much!
He’s actually a British citizen now. Soooo he’s technically an Englishman drinking tea.
This has got to be the most British thing I have ever watched, such a joy.
If you weren’t aware fella the advert for Typhoo was “you only get an oooh, with Typhoo” and you made as close to an “oooh” as I’ve ever heard when you took your first sip ...it was beautiful 😂
Canadian here, big Typhoo fan after a trip to the UK in 1978 (at that time the spokesman was a cartoon Gnu, lol). Have gone to great lengths over the years to get my hands on the stuff.... And now Woohoo! Typhoo found in my town too!
Love it, there's no bitter back taste, it's just damn good tea!
Accurate branding!
I really appreciate how Evan assembled the teacups (almost) symmetrically.
If only I had another pair of matching mugs!! I was so close
I think there might be a reason he has a « Mr Perfect » cup…
Yorkshire tea for life! Yorkshire Gold is alright but bog-standard Yorkshire is fantastic
This! Yorkshire Original > Yorkshire Gold every day xD
@@awatson16 Agreed...and I live in a hard water area...
@@cogidubnus1953 me too. There's a particular one for hard water though. I brought both teabags and loose tea and it is mwah!
I agree!! I enjoy regular Yorkshire. The gold is a bit much.
@@daftirishmarej1827 Ordinary (Red) Yorkshire is fine for me...
Measurements of milk: drip, drop, splash, splosh. Everyone knows how much you mean.
And a dash
I do like a double strength brew with a healthy glug of milk so I can neck it first thing in the morning.
me calming down once i see everyone in the comments saying he’s drinking the wrong yorkshire tea and yorkshire tea is the best because i will not take yorkshire tea slander it is the best
also shout out Lancashire tea!!
I live next door to the Yorkshire Tea factory in Harrogate but cannot stand it! 🙈 Typhoo is my fave 🙉
its up to taste. i prefer gold to standard
Yorkshire Tea is vastly overrated - it’s disgustingly metallic
@@timelord5920 u know ur not supposed to eat the spoon right?
Also original Yorkshire tea is the only tea anyone should ever drink EVER!!!
The most British video Evan has ever made. Should receive a golden stamp of Her Majesty. Even the commonwealth is featured. 😂
It was very wholesome.
Maybe there's a series here, broken down by county or general geographical area.
Cheeses. Sausages. Pies. Chips.
Cornish scones vs Devonshire scones vs everywhere else's scones.
Devon vs Somerset vs TheRest cider.
Testing ALL whiskies from the UK. (I wonder if he realises the danger in doing that one?)
Just imagine the carnage from any one of the above. [Evil laughter fades to echo]
@@MauriatOttolink You sound a bit lost. There's no "so called accent." He's just a guy from Jersey who has lived in Britain the last 9yrs and just became a citizen. He's not claimed to be anything he isn't 🤷
@@MauriatOttolink Are you talking about his being asked to do an impression of the Queen at the beginning? Watch it again, the comment at the bottom of the screen was the request-- which he fulfilled as a joke, not a genuine belief in that being a good accent. Having his intro come from a fan is his regular bit
@@MauriatOttolink wtf?
There is no such thing as a “British accent”. There is only YORKSHIRE!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how his voice slowly gets quicker as he gets more caffeinated.
Probably had a heart attack by the time he was done filming
Who drinks Yorkshire gold? That’s why Yorkshire isn’t his favourite because he’s drinking the wrong Yorkshire tea
Patrick Stewart drinks Yorkshire Gold.
@@dswcartoons Tea, Yorkshire Gold, Hot.
All Yorkshire Tea is the wrong tea, it’s vastly overrated. I say that as someone who’s actually from Yorkshire.
Yorkshire Gold is the best! Both generally and within the the Yorkshire lot!! Get your head checked lol!!!
Yorkshire Gold 👌
The sweetness in the Melbourne Breakfast is a dash of vanilla, that's why they called it a flavoured black tea. T2 has a whole range of breakfast teas based on Australian cities as well as classic English and Irish Breakfast teas. The Melbourne is my favourite though.
Yes, love this comment, it annoyed me slightly that he selected T2 Melbourne Breakfast and not just T2 Breakfast tea.
My fav too ☕
T2 Christmas Breakfast is fantastically good
Glad the fairtrade tea won seen as You're not only enjoying a good cuppa but You're also helping farmers get a fair wage and fair living/working conditions!
Clippers is my tea of choice
I think the whole of britain breathed a collective sigh of relief when you finally mentioned the digestives you'd prepared to have with your teas.
as someone who found this morning they had just run out of black tea, this video feels like a mockery
how can you run out of tea that’s literally illegal
@@jejepalmer i know i'm so ashamed of myself. tbf, the next day i bought one of every earl grey i could find and did my own taste test. evan was right. the caffeine rush is real.
Clipper is our go to, they've got a good history too, one of the first fair trade tea companies as well as being the first plastic-free tea bag
Done Yorkshire Tea dirty here mate! At least it did better than Lipton haha. And I can't deny, T2 know their stuff, their jasmine tea is divine
I love T2 New York Breakfast, that sweet tea is sooo good. But if in doubt, Yorkshire tea.
I need to up my tea game. Jasmine tea!
Some people are complaining that he used milk, but it makes sense for him to compare them how he would usually drink them 🤷♀️ though this did leave the loose leaf one at a bit of a disadvantage.
Regardless! I also drink tea with milk because I don't like the bitterness of black tea ':))
Right? and if you don't know how to brew looseleaf properly it's never going to shine whether its good or "gimmicky tourist" stuff.
I don’t get why people would complain about milk in black tea being wrong. Have you ever drunk tea in India? You can practically chew it
When I was little I was invited to a tea party with adults. I'd never been anything like it, and so I was doing what they were doing adding milk and sugar to the different teas. I'd tasted 3 or so different teas that way. And I couldn't figure out why I wasn't enjoying it. Then the host's husband walks through and asked: Have you drank the Picard tea yet?
🤔 Picard Tea? Oh! Tea Earl Grey Hot! I loved Earl Grey Tea, but I don't drink it with milk and sugar. I drank it and the rest of the teas black from then on out and enjoyed them so much better then the first teas.
@@DoctorsSong I can relate. The first time I had tea, it had sugar in it and I didn't like it. I wasn't accustomed to bitter tastes back then anyway, so I might not have enjoyed it regardless, but I added more sugar trying to kill the bitterness and it just became worse.
I only started to enjoy tea when I decided to have it black, no sugar added. The same goes for coffee, by the way. I occasionally add milk to tea or coffee, but I can't stand having them sweetened.
I would be complaining if he hadn't used milk. It is the standard way to drink breakfast tea in the UK. If someone served you breakfast tea without milk in the UK you'd complain.
as a Melbournian who drinks tea ( everyone drinks coffee here) this makes me happy :)
I'm with you! Get funny looks working in healthcare in Melbourne and not drinking coffee 😊
Aussies do love their coffee! ☕
Also he said melbourne correctly, I was waiting to cringe and then I was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t lol
I love both tea and coffee but does it count if I'm not originally from Melbourne lol
I love a Melbourne breakfast, I’m from Melbourne also
As an Irishman, the lack of Barry's and Lyons tea sickens me. This was fun though
Barry's is the crack cocaine of the tea world. You can only get it through Amazon in the UK, though, and it's very expensive. (£6 for 80 bags). Years and years ago, the absolute best tea out of Ireland was Bewley's
@@darriendastar3941 they sell Barry’s tea in Morrison’s! They have a (very small) Irish section
Frostyblade 88 I know that these are the two major brands you either drink one or the other . Not sure which my Irish family drink
@@krasivayakoshka Cool! Many, many, many thanks for passing that on. I don't have a Morrisons near me - but next time I go past one, I'll stock up. Many thanks for that information - it's much appreciated! :-)
@@michelleflood7225 It varies from house to house but they're both good. I must confess I prefer Barry's though. I didn't know they were so hard to get in the UK, that's interesting but a shame
Seriously Lipton tea is vile. I was at a conference in the Netherlands and the only tea they had was liptons. I had to go a week without drinking any tea which for a brit is sort of sacrelidge
@Jennifer Blackledge I dnt drink tea prefer coffee
@@Danno1983 same
@@Danno1983 HEATHEN. (I'm not being serious)
@@jenblack98 lol 😅😅😅
My first time living in Spain the local cafe would brew a Lipton tea bag in a warm glass of milk when I asked for a tea 🤢 had to talk them through step by step for a few days to get it right
If it comes in a tiny tin, it's going to be expensive!
Twinings is my favourite as well. I prefer their Ceylon tea though. I really recommend buying their loose leaf tea and getting some sort of metal in-cup infuser. Loose leaf is thought to be better as they use the larger leaves, with the smaller pieces being used for the bags. Plus, there’s less waste. Okay, you have to clean it, but it makes Greta happy.
I really enjoyed the Twining Lady Grey. Lits like Earl Grey but less "punch you in the face"
I do love when I go somewhere and they have Lady Grey. It's Lady Grey every time!
I loved it too, but I can never find it on its own. I've only tried it out of the four-variety box.
Love both of them. Have you tried white tea? It’s very delicate
Lady grey also has a hint of vanilla in it. Essentially a Melbourne breakfast with bergamot.
@@dahyimi2185if you are in the us look for twinning lady grey at world market. That's where I found mine.
I get my favorite loose leaf tetly at a store called Spices of India.
Many Indian (India) stores around here carry British teas
It's not a question anyone British needs answering. Yorkshire is the undisputed champion. Nothing else compares.
I went to the states 2 years ago and for gifts I printed individual 'pockets' for 150 Yorkshire bags. They were much appreciated by all!
Nononono PG tips is the absolute God of tea
@@guyellis6819 Get out of here with your blasphemy!
@@gimmick1018 can we at least agree that Tetley's is shit?
It really isn’t!
Evan just starts talking faster as he gets more caffeinated.
It was probably also a little bit edited
I find it really surprising that the two teas that made it to the final were the one where the first reactions weren't really good, he said that Clippers was a bit watery, then when he tried Yorkshire's he said that was better and can taste the tea more, but then ruled out Yorkshire's first between the two. Same with Twinings, he first said "I don't enjoy this one as much as the others". And then those two were the two best English Breakfast teas... what happened? xD
I just posted a reply to the video saying something similar, albeit two years later.
This is one of the highest quality videos I think I've seen on CZcams. The lighting, camera quality, sound, gentle background music, multiple camera angles: all of it, magnificent. And now I know which tea to get if/when I ever find myself in England (just moved to Germany and hope to vacation in England eventually!!)
This should be required to become a British citizen. You must have a preferred Official tea and be able brew a proper cuppa.
Or at least pick a house tea and be able to create one to a series of common standards
I doubt it. Tea may be the most popular drink of brits but still they aren’t going to put a drink as a mandatory citizen ship test. There are plenty of brits who don’t drink tea ever.
@@EmilyCheetham That’s me! I can’t stand the stuff! 🤮
@@DrWhoFanJ I don’t like tea either. Iv had the odd glass of fruit tea but so far Iv yet to discover anything Id want to drink regularly let alone daily. Well no hot teas. I don’t mind the twinings cold infusion fruit teas once in a while.
@@EmilyCheetham I mean, for me it’s more that I’m so sensitive to heat that it’s only comfortable for a few seconds between being painfully hot, and uselessly cold.
But, yes, the few times I’ve tried it, the flavour was also horrible.
Same with coffee as well; even a coffee cake is something I’d never eat no matter how hungry I was!
Hell, I can’t even do hot chocolate! 😭
This was thrilling. Would always rank PG tips above Tetley, and normal Yorkshire is lovely.
I always find PG tips to be among the most disappointing teas out there. It’s too weak to drink with milk and it’s got an odd sourness that makes it unpalatable back.
@@WhichDoctor1 Wholly disagree. PG Tips is my hands down fave. I'm Canadian and discovered it later in life. It's head and shoulders above the rest.
I prefer Taylor Scottish Breakfast but Twinnings Irish Breakfast is delightful.
Jersey accents always say "tourist" like the astrological sign "Taurus". I thought you called the fancy tea in the can a Taurus tea.
Omg same
As an Aussie I’m so happy to see Melbourne Breakfast by T2 here, I literally have it in my cupboard right now
I'm a hard core PG tips person (pyramid bags all the way, brewed in a teapot, beautiful!) but Tetley or Yorkshire tea brands are acceptable - though I think you got ripped off with the Yorkshire gold, standard Yorkshire tea is pretty solid
For a long time I resisted bags and used Co-op 99 loose tea. A few weeks ago I found the old tea caddy and was amazed to find it still had some loose tea in it. While it lasted it was the best tea I've drunk in years!
Pg is wank
Noooooo. YORKSHIRE TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can confirm biccy is correct. I also need a couple after watching all this tea drinking!
Not pronounced bitchy.
I would say biccie!
@@crystaledwards8854 oooo you’ve got me rethinking the spelling now 🤔
@@StopImAlreadyDan I’m wondering if it’s a northern/southern thing! I’m from the south/south west, how about you?
@@crystaledwards8854 I think you may be right, I’m a northerner.
I loved everything about this video! The video- and audio-quality, the puns and the reviews were awesome!
the Melbourne T2 should be disqualified because it has added flavourings.
Honestly, I came here for the comment section and the final verdict of the video. I was not planning on watching a 20 min tea drinking vid or expecting to, yet I watched it entirely.
Just before I watch I want it to be known that if matey here puts the milk first I'm taking that brand new passport of him.
He didn't. He's not a plod 😂
It's ok. Thankfully he can be allowed to stay here.
Also, I feel like the "milk first" thing is completely misunderstood. Obviously you can not put milk in before you steep the tea!
The "milk first" is speculated to have originated back when people served brewed tea from pots. Poor people had low quality china and added milk before the hot tea, to avoid damaging the cups. Upper class people had high quality porcelain that could handel swift temperature changes and therefor added tea first and then milk second (if at all. The had more expensive teas and sometimes added lemon or nothing). Science however shows benefitd to adding the milk first IF the tea is already brewed:
The milk will be warmed more evenly and are less likely to result change struktur (that can lead to the skin on top of the tea).
But NEVER milk before water is your brewing with a teabag in a mug. I think they still use the capital punishment in those instances.
@@melleme89 I never brew tea in the mug. If there's no teapot, no tea for me. I always put the milk in the cup first. Mostly because if you do, you don't need a spoon. But I'm not fanatical about it. Of course I'm Canadian so what do I know. My go to is standard Tetley orange pekoe.
To be fair, I don't think he has his passport yet.
Watching you get quicker and quicker as you drank genuinely was so so funny
As an American that loves tea and British people in general, I learned more in the past 20 minutes than in a week of school. Thank you for educating me, and helping me continue to wish I didn’t live here in the lands of Lipton 🤦♂️
Kudos to Amazon for having great tea on sale
Come to r/tea, see how deep the rabbit hole goes...
My mom always drank tea growing up in the US (she's also from here, just really likes tea). She figured out how to order her breakfast tea of choice, PG Tips, in bulk. International shipping greatly improves the options. 🙂
Is Evan cancelled in Yorkshire yet with his comments about the County & it's tea? 🤣
*drinks tea*
*shakes head in disappointment*
*continues to drink more of the tea*
I know this was English tea, but oh my you NEED to try Glengettie tea IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE (it is Welsh)
Random fact about yorkshire tea, they change the blend depending on where you live so it matches how hard or soft the water is ❤️
thats why it tastes good
See something I learnt today!!
It’d be interesting to see you try German black teas as well sometime! Ostfriesen tea is something they enjoy and I’d be curious as to how you consider non-British teas compared with British (e.g. Russian as well).
Perhaps that could be a future video idea: comparing foreign black teas to the number one English breakfast from this (and Twinings of course)
BATTLE OF THE SUPERMARKET BRANDS NEXT! Sainsbury's is surprisingly good
Co-op Indian Prince is pretty good for a supermarket tea
Literally Sainsburys tea is the fuckin bomb
The fact my childhood brew, Tetley tea made it up there in the top 4 really speaks volumes. Both Tetley and Yorkshire Tea (Red box) are my main go-to teas.
Tetley is used to make iced tea where I grew up.
But I love it hot in the afternoon too.
I'm 60years old and it's been around for a long time.
The other one my grandparents drank was Bigalow teas. The orange spice constant comment and Earl grey. But my grandparents were both immigrants. Gran was from Germany and papa was from Ireland. I spent a lot of time with them as a child
I like how your opinion on each tea changed dramatically throughout the video
Yep i picked up on that
I feel like the tea receptacle can also make a difference to your tea experience, especially the glass mug. Big Yorkshire tea (classic version) drinker here! Great video as always!
I agree. The kind of mug or cup you have is everything
I wish he had used glass mugs, that way we see the color of the teas.
This surprised me you’d think English people would be the top tea 🫖 drinkers worldwide but no it’s the Irish ! But then this didn’t surprise me because my Irish family drink more tea than any other people in my life here in oz ! In Ireland there’s only two major brands you either drink Barry’s or Lyons tea .
Loving the different angles this hole video feels quality Evan good job
havent watched your videos in a long time but this one just stuck out and i had to watch. man, your quality in video and content has gone up and i'm very happy for you! keep it up
:)
Please, please try Barry's gold original tea. It's the Irish godsend for teas. Although some people will argue lyons is better.. It's controversial to say the least XD
My best friends in Dublin drink Barry's every day.
Im Lyons born n bread.
Barry’s original for me. Irish tea is delicious…thankful for Amazon.
I'm Norwegian, and that's the only tea I drink lol. I have to buy it on the net directly from Barry's, the shops here only have Lipton, maybe Twining's if you're lucky but it's really expensive. I drink a lot of tea, so I need a good tea that doesn't cost €5,50 for 25 tiny single cup tea bags that wouldn't last me a day
It would be an unfair competition Barrys blows everything else out of the water
Damn.. I'm really digging the side shots of when Evan is drinking the tea.. love it :)
My grandma used to call Digestives ‘suggestive’ biscuits. Makes me chuckle every time someone says Digestives 😂
I really enjoyed that! Thanks, Evan!
This is the content I signed up for👏🏻👏🏻
I absolutely love how you just speak faster and faster as the video goes on 🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE the camera angles used in this video. Just *chef kiss* really stunning-ly shot
This was lovely to watch.❤ He’s so sweet and lovable. He’s getting so caffinated I could barely hear what he said in the end of the video. 😅 I’m now a subscriber.
I appreciate the extra effort that went into making the placement of the mugs symmetrical.
The Spiffing Britt be like, Yorkshire Gold better win this!
Isnt he drinking Yorkshire Red?
This, just by the title, is the best thing ever
i appreciate the symmetrical arrangement of the mugs!
Interesting how the tase test goes with adding milk to all of your teas. T-Phoo is a very harsh tea, but you liked it because of the added milk. I think a taste test without added milk would be more enlightening.
What British person doesn't add milk to their tea?
The nostalgia of the Mr Perfect mug. I loved reading the Mr Men books!
Fantastic tribute to the place Evan. The amazing thing about moving on is that you can go back there anytime you like and you will find you love it a bit more each time. All the best.
Welcome back to a man that has never seen a tea aisle in a US store.
Lol true
To be fair I no longer drink breakfast tea so this is interesting, I tend to drink twinning the individual regional teas, of assam, ceylon and darjeeling, which each have a unique flavour going from a more malty deeper flavour of assam, to the more delicate darjeeling. My favourite is a ceylon, with my go to being an assam
I agree abut the Assam. the Ceylon seems a bit insipid.
Yes couldn’t agree more.
I appreciate the matching mugs from outside in, with the white ceramic, clear, green, black & white, and the white & blue inside. A small detail that made me happy :)
It's 2am and I'm watching someone drink tea. I don't know how I got here but I love it
Hello and welcome back to a British man playing an American, playing a Brit
Soooo Evan has switched his allegiance and buys Clipper now?
Im sticking to clippers and twinings for all my future tea!
With a sprinkle of T2 in between
@@evan You DISHONOUR Yorkshire Sir, DISHONOUR it!
Considering the amount of tea he had to buy for this video, I don't think Evan will have to buy any tea for a loooong time XD
@@TwlightDutch maybe... 3 months?
dude, your so funny I just had to subscribe. cheered me up this for some reason
One of the best videos I’ve seen ever.
WOOP! Time for the tea on tea!
it seemed like every time you picked up the Typhoo you actually went oooh, just like in the adverts
Loved this! Of the Yorkshire-based teas, I really recommend Bettys Tea Room blend (available online) but thanks for the reminder that Clipper makes great tea!
I love how he progressively starts talking faster through the video.
You’ve clearly not been in an american grocery store in the past 30 years. Lipton is basically only for iced tea in the U.S. at this point. In addition to having a lot of british (namely Twinings) and at least one irish brand in my local Safeway, i order Harney & Sons online from Massachusetts.
I think we have similar preferences in tea - I usually drink the Twinings English Breakfast or Everyday as just everyday tea, T2 have amazing teas for a treat, PG Tips is almost there but just a bit fruity - not bad but a bit unexpected. Clipper are very solid and a good moral choice. I do wish Twinings would go plastic-free, there's like a fine cobweb of plastic in the teabag that hangs about if you compost at home. Weird. The best American tea I've found is "Harney and Sons" - which I found on holiday in New Zealand! They have a Decaf "Paris" which is very like T2's French Earl Grey, only, decaf so good late at night. I know, I know, Decaf, but, given the choice between evening Decaf tea and sleeping, evening regular tea and no sleep, or no tea, the sleep wins!
The old advert for Typhoo used to say that it put the ‘oo’ into Typhoo. I was slightly disappointed when you said ‘mmm’.
The fun thing about liptop is that it started as english, then was bought by the Dutch brand Unilever. This brand recently moved to the UK for tax reasons which makes Lipton british again. It has never been american
I can’t believe I just watched someone make loose leaf the same way as bagged 🤦♀️
Hey he's a new born ... at least it wasnt made in a Microwave!
Co-op 99 is a pretty good tea, too. Never gets love in these vids.
But otherwise, Clipper or PG.
Never put milk in a loose leaf tea.
Why is it that you can't add milk to loose leaf?
@@dahyimi2185 you can. It’s probably a matter of taste or some old snobbery . If you like the taste go for it
@@littlemy1773 😁 Yep, I do and will continue to regardless. But I'm curious about why there are many coments saying you shouldn't.
love the calm British tea vibesss
This was very enjoyable to watch with my morning cup of tea
This was actually really interesting. Clippers, Twinings and PG are my top 3 out of that lineup and they all made it to almost the top. (I have never tried TZ so can't speak on that one)
If you want to into the realm of fancy good not touristy teas 'Whittard' is a good shout.
We only drink Lipton ice tea from the bottle
i didn’t know i needed this video until now.. i bloody love tea!!!
Nice video quality, as always!
Also, as an American who loves tea, now I'm going to have to try the Melbourne breakfast
I do love a good T2 tea, I've got about 10 different flavours. The scot's breakfast is really different but really nice
Their flavours are so full!
Lipton do tea tea? I thought they just did lemon tea!
Depends on your definition of tea because it’s really stretching it
@@jmurray1110 They literally just took the teabags they sell in America, which are intended to be used for Iced Tea, and tried to sell them as English Tea. Of course its terrible.
Also, digging the alternative camera angles, gave this video really high quality production value - BBC High quality level. Nicely done mate, Nicely done.
Really loved this show 👍👍👍👍
Melbourne breakfast is the best thing I've ever tasted (it's just vanilla flavoured but i love it), it's so good. but normally (because T2 is bloody expensive) I get nature's cuppa
I would be tempted to see Evan drink the TWG tea again after leaving it to steep awhile. Loose leave tea takes ages to release their flavour.
And see him actually brew it correctly as well XD
I FOLLOWED THE TIN’S INSTRUCTIONS ITS JUST SHIT
@@evan lol I would like to see you actually have some proper looseleaf from a nice place though and brewed in a teapot.
I think he needs to do a second tea video where he compares a load of loose tea leaf teas. And to be extra British and fancy about it he should wear a top hat and monocle during the video.
@@evan The small cans TWG sells are outright garbage. But some of the stuff they keep behind the counter and weigh out every time is pretty good. But those are on average at least £15 every 50 grams and the good ones go quickly cos the London stores don't have much stock.
This might be my fave Evan video so far 😁 nice to see another Twinings fan. I tend to go for their Strong Breakfast, though. I find the standard English Breakfast a little weak.
I actually used to have my tea with two sugars, and was a Tetley drinker. When my partner introduced me to Twinings she convinced me to try it without sugar and I found it was lovely! I then tried to apply this to Tetley and discovered why I'd been having it with sugar all these years. It's bloody awful!
Fun fact about Yorkshire Gold. It's actually Sir Patrick Stewart's tea of choice, and not, contrary to popular belief, "tea, Earl Grey, hot"!
This is definitely one of my favorite videos.
I’m not really a tea person, but I highly recommend the Instant Tea from Whittard of Chelsea (Dreamtime is the best!)
