Tea drinkers... chime in
I used to drink a lot of tea while working on the farm when I was younger (1970s-80s). It was probably a lower quality tea since we were out in the middle of nowhere and you get what you get.
I recently asked for tea as my beverage at a decent restaurant. Wow! It was really good! I asked about it and the waitress said it was a black/green tea mix steeped in boiling water. My question is: Is it the tea or the preparation... or both? Are there any brands that are better than others? Lipton seems to dominate the market, but as in all things "food related" the biggest seller isn't always the best thing. Chime in please. |

No offense, but that's like predicting that I'll show up in a crude oil thread.

I always like how the settlers in the 13 original colonies trolled the Brits army by dressing up as Indians and dumping a bunch of tea in the Boston harbor. I bet they had fun doing it.

Also all tea pots are not created equal. Get a good tea pot designed for brewing tea. |

I presume that he's talking about hot tea, not cold, which is an abomination.
And I hate hot tea.
