Mmmmm tea.....

If you want a proper cuppa, it has to be made with loose tea in a tea pot!

The only tea i will drink made in a bag has to be yorkshire tea!

I know this lovely Edwardian bloke who I met in a pub, he offered me snuff, then we went back to his and drank tea out of his fine china and tripped our tits off whilst looking at my Burning Man photos.

Happy days

No, I mean he was a study in Edwardian style - the whole caboodle - clocked me clocking him and offered me snuff from a silver snuffbox.

How impressed was I?!

"right you're all getting too fussy now. am leaving the tea making to mrs doyle."

It's not fussy to want tea to be made properly. Truly has it been written, "Do not accept badly made cups of tea. Do not surround yourself with people who make them. They don’t care about you." George Orwell and Douglas Adams both wrote essays on how to do it properly; Christopher Hitchens distilled Orwell's rules to the essentials:

"If you use a pot at all, make sure it is pre-warmed. (I would add that you should do the same thing even if you are only using a cup or a mug.) Stir the tea before letting it steep. But this above all: "[O]ne should take the teapot to the kettle, and not the other way about. The water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours." This isn't hard to do, even if you are using electricity rather than gas, once you have brought all the makings to the same scene of operations right next to the kettle."

"It's not quite over yet. If you use milk, use the least creamy type or the tea will acquire a sickly taste. And do not put the milk in the cup first—family feuds have lasted generations over this—because you will almost certainly put in too much. Add it later, and be very careful when you pour. Finally, a decent cylindrical mug will preserve the needful heat and flavor for longer than will a shallow and wide-mouthed—how often those attributes seem to go together—teacup. Orwell thought that sugar overwhelmed the taste, but brown sugar or honey are, I believe, permissible and sometimes necessary."
