Why would I want my tea to taste like toast and jam?

I actually really like the toast and jam one haha, Yorkshire Gold will still be my go-to though

Some people just want to watch the world burn, like the toast.

Goes well with tea flavoured jam:

It actually exists! I thought @SnowWomble was joking!

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, ha ha, I didn't even see that comment

The toast & jam package design made me laugh, because it looks like the tea is being poured directly into the toaster. Do not try that at home!

A very British way to go

Just in case you have tea flavoured toast & jam?

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! The fight back begins. Tea flavoured jam and jam flavoured tea. What a world that would be.

For some reason I'm thinking about Moss from the IT Crowd shaking his head about this one.

Ok ngl I have tried the biscuit one. It smells amazing, so realistically biscuitty, but the taste is...questionable.

So if you're more into sniffing your drinks these could actually be a good shout.

It was right in front of me!

[–] sbowesuk@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw the biscuit one at my local supermarket, and was *very *close to a purchase. Now I'm even more curious what these will smell and taste like! ☕

[–] thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Smell = good. Taste = uncomfortable and confusing.

My partner says the biscuit one isn’t too bad, he compared it loosely to Assam.

@TIN the craft tea movement is upon us. Can't wait for the sours.

[–] disillusionedrealist@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't mind the biscuit one but the sweetness got to me in the end. The jam one I had one try of and then left the rest in the work canteen wijth a note on saying "please help yourselves".

Back to drinking Barrys constantly again.

Plus, why can't I remember to take pictures landscape for Lemmy?

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just had this same issue - I found that if I opened the image in Photoshop (or similar, eg Photopea) and saved again without changes, a portrait photo works fine. Not sure why that would be though!

[–] TIN@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Ooh, good tip thanks

Next thing they'll be putting coffee in teabags and calling it a cappuccino.

[–] azura@fedia.io 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No matter what it is, if it can be put in a tea bag, it will be.

[–] bwok_bwok@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not going to lie, I might try an egg and cress cuppa just for a lark.

This has to be one of the strangest rabbit holes I've ever gone down.
