    Notice that Cigar is always complaining about rich people, even though he's rich (allegedly, anyway) and frequently posts pro-rich sayings?

    Sounds like an asian kettle. They are often clay, but not electric, or not that I've ever seen.

    Having an English mother, I was raised on tea. Had tea in my baby bottle. We've done all the fancy teas, and I still go back to my old favorite, Redrose tea bags. It does make a difference in what order you mix tea and milk. I just put the tea bag in a cup with boiling hot water to steep, then add a bit of milk. My English mom and ex MIL insisted the tea brew in a pot, and milk in the cup first, then pour the tea. GA is right it is an art form.
    It must be strong, weak tea is miserable. I drink 4 to 5 cups per day. Great with scones.

    Question: What's wrong with tea bags?
    Some people feel that it affects the ability of the leaves to steep properly and may also affect the flavor because of the paper products used.

    I have restaurant quality Tetley Green tea in bags.

    The box does not mention where it comes from. It tastes ok but I need advice.

    What do you know about Tetley Tea, based in New Jersey?

    Redrose tea originated in New Brunswick, Canada and was a always a very good tea. Alas it has now become another victim of the Unilever conspiracy. I haven't tried it in some time, is it still good?

    Logic would tell me the ground up tea ought to enhance flavor? Maybe not. I don't know.

    Tetley is a British tea company that has packaging plants throughout the world. I like Tetley. I think the tea is sourced by the mother ship and supplied to their various world wide subsidiaries.
