"Massive tea belly here. I’ve bought so many teapots over the years and then don’t use them out of pure laziness. I have fond memories of my grandparents having a loose tea (push button) dispenser on the wall. (I’d love one now!) Day to day it was made straight in to the cup and with the old green top milk. You could only drink to the last couple of centimetres or you’d get a nasty mouthful of leaves. But it was the best tea I’ve ever tasted. Their teaspoons had flat ends from the years of stirring the tea. They now sit proudly in my cutlery drawer. It’s the small things..

"Clearly this is aimed at those who actually drink tea, and for those who do in earnest - do you use tea bags or freshly milled tea leaves or the dreadfully lowbrow instant tea-and-milk granules? Do you brew in a mug for convenience or ceremoniously prepare in a teapot? [This is my follow up to "The Preparation of Coffee" last month]" Everyday tea for me is tetleys tea bags (or Barry’s if in Ireland), with a tiny splash of milk. If I’m actually going to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea then I have something like Darjeeling or weak Earl Grey, particularly in hot weather. Then there’s a load of stiff that is described as tea, but isnt actually tea. If a tea leaf isn’t involved in some way then it isn’t tea. | |||

"I’m very particular about my tea at home. I’m lucky enough to have an Aga in the kitchen, so there’s a bit of ritual to making tea. The kettle goes on the stovetop. It takes time, and it whistles when it’s ready. Two teabags in the pot, Tetley usually. Fill it with boiling water, then place it on the hot top surface of the Aga. Let it steep. Then let it steep some more. Give it 10 or 15 minutes. Take the teabags out (pop them in the compost bin) and put the teapot back on the Aga to keep warm. A pot can last all day there if need be. Grab a mug. I like small mugs, topped up often, rather than a big mug that can go cold. Splash of milk in first. Proper milk, straight from the dairy farm up the road. Remember to shake the bottle first to incorporate the cream. Then top up with tea. It’s perfect, every time." My dear man, while this all sounds lovely, what would concern me is that leaving the pot in the stove all day would result in stewed tea. Far too many tannins resulting in an unpleasant tea experience. Does that not sully your enjoyment?  | |||

"Bish bash bosh. Stick that kettle on. But first, pick her up and give her a shake to make sure there is enough water for at least one cup of tea. Now, flick that switch. Grab my sugar pot and bang in half a teaspoon of sugar. Now next, grab my Yorkshire tea bag and slam dunk it deep into the bottom of my cup. Next up, I put my hand on the kettle handle impatiently waiting for the water to finally reach boiling point. I pour in the boiled water, give it a mix with a teaspoon whilst squeezing and bashing that poor teabag around with all the strength I have. And then I leave that teabag in the cup for two or so minutes, strain it, remove it and add in a splash of low fat milk because who the fuck wants creamy full fat tea? And then add in half a packet of shortcake biscuits." • You had me, and most of the other red-blooded males, standing to attention immediately after the word "Bish".  | |||
