bliss in a teacup

[deird1]

The problem with drinking really nice tea is that it ruins all less-nice tea for you forevermore.


I have long ago lost my taste for teabags; tea leaves are where it's at.

Infusers? Nice - but not as good as plunger tea.

And plungers? Well...


I discovered yet more "secrets to the perfect cup of tea", and decided to try them out - sceptical that there could be any way to make tea better than it already was.

WELL. I WAS WRONG ABOUT THAT.

I
1) warmed the teapot beforehand
2) after a couple of minutes, turned the teapot three times clockwise and three times anti-clockwise

And voila: the most perfect cup of tea known to man.


I... really don't think I can go back to plunger tea. Not after this.



Dammit, perfect tea! You're ruining the rest of the good tea for me! *shakes fists*

I don't know jack about tea, but I have definitely had that experience with beer.

Have you been sucked into the hell of addiction that is T2 yet?

SO MUCH.

I see that no one has mentioned George Orwell's essay on making a decent cup, so I will. I'm a coffee drinking englishman so this goes some way to making amends.
