I drink coffee all day but I love stopping for tea at afternoon teatime. Must be out bone china though - I was searching for years for this vintage willow pattern - and usually have a blend of 2 parts English Breakfast tea to one part Lapsang Souchong, with a dash of milk. Yes, I'm a bit of a Prima Donna! 馃ぃ
You are so right. Once upon a time, I was kayaking through these mangroves in Thailand. We had to paddle like buggery to beat the tide on the way back - when we got there, one of the fellow tourists pulled out a plastic bag of teabags, and we had a cup of tea in the middle of the jungle. Absolutely the best cup of my life. Now I鈥檓 putting the kettle on!
I know! and when, once in a while, you make that a absolute perfect cup, the one you sip slowly to savor and stretch it for as long as possible, there is no comparison to how wonderful that is.
