The only way to go for tea!

Remember, teabag first, then pour boiled water over...let it brew for 5 minutes, squidge the teabag with a spoon against the side of the cup, and add a splash of milk (and maybe sugar...but not for me :). Voila!

TalkBass has now become TalkBrew. The place to go for all your tea related affairs. Peppermint Tea Club anyone?
 
Not for us brits, milk is essential. But only a bit. The thought of tea without milk for most of us brits is unheard of.

If you give a cup of tea to the average Brit without any milk in, they will reply "you forgot to put the milk in".

I have been educated :)

Had a few green teas in my time, Peppermint, Camomile, the classics. Once tried a PG Tips strawberry cupcake flavour, weird, but cool. Also had a berry fusion. Quite nice, hinted towards raspberry and black current.
 
To tone control or not tone control, that is the question
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous orange drops,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of capacitors,
And by opposing end them
Out, damned FSO! Out, I say!—One, two. Why, then, ’tis time to do ’t. Hell is murky!—Fie, my Queen, fie! Tort, and flats? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so many dirt pedals in him.

I REALLY hated Shakespere in school. When I hear it now, I find the language painful. Decent stories ruined by opaque language.

I also do not read latin.

Dead language should just stay dead and save students from zombie literature.

Ya see, this guy knows how to make a cup of tea.
 
All that time in a warm backyard, we are becoming suspicious that Seattle is not as rainy as everyone says. And that raises the suspicion that you are just trying to keep the rest of us out.
:laugh:

Summer here is the best! It's rained exactly twice at my house since late June - less than 1/8". It's dry, sunny and beautiful like very few places can be. :)

Strawberry cupcake. I'd like to try that. I've got cinnamon and some tropical green tea lurking downstairs at the moment. I've tried all weird ones too.
