I couldn't be farther on the tea grid from @Greylag if I tried.
I'm a solid 1A with no milk or sugar. Anytime I did add them, I was still a 2B or 3B. I believe @Greylag said he was a 4C.


I prefer to put my loose tea in the pot, boil the water with my electric kettle, then pour the water into the pot. I place a strainer over my cup and pour the tea into my cup. If cleanup or tea strength is an issue then I use a tea strainer that goes into the pot so it can be removed once the tea is the desired strength and so clean up is easier, too.
But on-the-go, I use bags. A mix of commercial tea bags and tea bags that I hand fill with loose tea.

Yes our tastes in tea are at either end of the spectrum. It does though sound like your preparation routine is very civilised! I commend you!

Bedtime for me at 10.45 having been up since 05.00. I had a couple of hours on the river tonight in the most amazing light. You would think these pictures were taken in sepia! No filters or manipulation needed!

Good night folks!

Good morning. I don’t wish to be ungrateful but my tea was 4c and I don’t see it. Don’t worry I will make my own to save the pain!

Forgive me I did say, though, that you don't want me tending bar! First example of why!

After 3 weeks of no adult beverages, I can now sit down and enjoy a double of bourbon - neat

Have a safe weekend, and I’ll see you on the other side.

Thank you I'm sure we will be well prepared. Our problem is we've had 8 in of rain earlier in the week and now this on top of it. So the ground is soaked. But I'm sure it'll be fine it's moving faster and going to be out of here sooner.

I have been a few places where you get a pot. I have a ceramic tea pot I made in high school. It is perfect for 3 or 4 cups from 2 bags. I know people are particular about how they brew there tea. My sister wants the bag dipped in the water and my wife wants it in the cup and pour the hot water on it.

There was a restaurant when I was a teenager in a neighboring village run by 2 English ladies that served a traditional tea..... it was delicious

For @Greylag it's basically a mug of milk where someone whispered, "Tea" very quietly over the rim.

That feels a bit ...extreme

Maybe while the pot is boiling on the stove running by the house outside may make it pissy enough.

That's pretty far to run. How many miles are you up to these days?? Maybe put the tea leaves in your hair? Streaking by while the water boils???

Well I don't mind streaking by. As long as nobody's out I don't want to feel like Lady Godiva. There is no horse involved is there?

Are you allergic to latex....banana and latex go together usually

I know this! Amazingly, I've not developed that allergy yet. Avocados are in the same family also! I would be SO upset if I could no longer eat them!
