The perfect cup of tea

ADDING MILK TO TEA??
Yeurck, that is sick!

I HATE those restaurant cups o' tea, where you get a glass  and have a choice of zillions of artificial tea. The glass is hot and the tea cold. And if you choose coffee as an alternative, the coffee is almost water, and it's far too less. No, I always choose beer when I'm at a restaurant, or water, or wine (only if it's good wine)

Aluminium? No! It loses too much heat! Ceramic is the word! For a good cup of tea, always use a ceramic teapot.

For the rest, tea mustn't be watery, but in between strong and watery <- and that's the tric! And of course, you do not use teabags. Tea in a special tea thingy (a metal celestial sieve, how is it called?)

And a REAL tea connaisseur NEVER uses milk in his tea, only freaky English do such. What do you want to drink: tea or hot watery milk?

You all know where tea comes from? No?
Well, it comes from China, where it is drinked by zillions of people over thousands of years. They know how to make tea.


Not the crappy putrid Englisssh! ()



The Chinese NEVER use milk in their tea.

Tea pots should not be made from metal, as the 'metallic chi' affects the flavour of the tea.
The best teapots are made from China (that makes a 'ching!' sound when you flick it or sand pottery, particularly Jixing (purple sand pots) from the Jixing region of China. These pots are actually porous and so good care must be taken with cleaning and storing them - they improve markedly with age as they absorb the tea, but can also absorb strong odours and chemical cleaners if care is not taken!

Could not agree more

Forgive me forgetting that the Dutch invented everything

Such things only despicable Englisssh say about themselves, and about never existing of Leonardo Da Vinci, Christiaan Huygens (who actually designed the first car, fueled by gunpowder, back in 1680), aand all those countless other inventors.

I know the ideal cuppa tea!
You know, from a tea/coffee dispenser, in such a crappy plastic mug. And for the touch of it, it begins with such a 'tiny' drop of fake coffee in it!

Aah, the flavour, so distinct, so unique!
