What's the ultimate tea biscuit combo for a long day out in the mountains?

I've grown a little bored of PG Tips and Milk Chocolate Hob Nobs and am looking for some inspiration!

PG Tips!? Tha's not heard of Taylor's Yorkshire Tea then?  Try that for a change. You won't be changing back. 

Second Yorkshire Tea, I suspect it is probably drunk by the majority of users on here.

Personally my favourite biscuits are Fox's Crunch Creams, they are also very good dunked but you need to be quick or they loose integrity and fall into your tea. (Fox's also do a Chocolate fudge version which is possibly even better)

There is no good tea

It's Yorkshire Tea or nothing!

The best biscuit I've had with a tea so far would be Fox's Viennese.

All About Tea- Assam, and Rich Tea biscuits.

None of that Yorkshire rubbish!

Heresy. For true dunkability you need good coffee and Mcvities caramel chocolate digestives. Exhaustive studies by myself have shown that timed dunkability is improved by an average of 42% with a sodden crumble index of only 4%. 

Pah, amateurs.

Try sucking the air out of a KitKat finger, then allowing the tea to fill the vacuum.

I guess this is how a fly eats but it's yummy for sure.

Green tea and gingernuts , enlightenment will then be yours

Cadbury's Chocolate fingers also work well for this if you bite off both ends, quite enjoyable with Peppermint tea too (I'll clarify that I don't do this often, mostly because if I were to buy a box of fingers to do this it would last about an hour)!

Only a person with ginger nuts would admit to liking green tea...

Then you've grown bored of life, I'd say.

My ultimate combo is one flask for the tea and another for the milk so I can pour the milk first. I'm still looking for the perfect dunking biscuit, I like something tough like a ships biscuit that actually needs to be dunked to make it edible, not to sweet and with a touch of spice,like an Aberbnethy. The ones from WFM Brown in Westray are good.

Tim Tams and bog standard tea

For the mountains I like ginger tea.  I haven't yet found a good biscuit to match it though.

At home, I like Tetley's with a garibaldi

Early Grey with the merest dash of milk, dark chocolate digestives.

P.s. I agree with the Yorkshire Tea > PG sentiment.

Clipper Organic English Breakfast + homemade ginger biscuits

+1 for Yorkshire Tea, and complimented by the humble Custard Cream..... no danger of the biscuit falling in your tea as the cream part holds it all together nicely!

Russian caravan and a taxi

Or

Lady Grey and a Viennese finger

Strong Assam and a bourbon. Goth teabreak.

-1 for Yorkshire tea. Over-rated stuff.

Tetley's for me, please. And no more than a teaspoon of skimmed milk.

And a plain chocolate Hobnob or two. Ok then, three.

McVities caramel digestives are engineered for dunking, the caramel means the biscuit retains it's integrity when any normal biscuit would go soggy; droop and drop into your mug. I have not had one snap on me yet.

It's not just me then

Lapsang und Lebkuchen

Jaffa cake and hot ribenna.

Yorkshire/PG - it matters  little - and Ginger Nuts...or milk/plain chocolate digestives..no sicky caramel thank you

One has tried green tea in company.

indeed,one is open to trying anything to improve ones chances.

indeed ,one tried green tea just before Christmas .

one struggled like Fuch ,and had to politely admit defeat.

Inuit urine went down easier.

Another Yorkshire tea aficionado here, two bags in a pint mug, with a digestive or twelve for dunking.

Fair enough, although where did you find the inuit urine? I've been looking for that for ages

When my sister came back from New Zealand she introduced a similar concept with one of the native biscuits - TimTams, I think, off which you bite diagonally opposing corners then suck tea through. Seemed to work okay, from what I remember, but I'd have thought something like the above-mentioned KitKats or Cadbury's Fingers would be better shaped for best performance

What is all this about dunking chocolate biscuits into tea. BLASPHEMY sorry folks

Solution - 1. Rich Tea biscuits 2. Nice cup of Yorkshire tea job done thread closed good night all

PG or Tetley with milk chocolate digestives (hob nobs slightly too sweet)

Tetley’s is Yorkshire tea - Uddersfield, innit!

No, it's tea from Yorkshire.  The difference is the thing.

T.

I’m pretty sure the tea isn’t from Yorkshire!
