tea


Over the past year David and I have begun to drink far more tea that what we used to.  And far less coffee.  I love a HOT cup of English breakfast tea.  Last week I read an essay on tea by George Orwell, called A Nice Cup of Tea.  I like his eleven rules, which he regards as golden.  One in particular: always pour your tea first and then add milk.  If you add the milk first, invariably you will add too much.  I know my tea is rught by colour.  Although he doesn't believe you should use bags or strainers.  I can't agree with that one!
Anyway, all that to say at the moment we are enjoying the Madame Flavour range of tea.  Not only are they gorgeously packaged, but she has a great philosophy and approach to tea.  Her tea makes me happy.  :)
