Fascinating! I learned a lot Uve. I'm excited to try that scalding the milk thing. I've always put the milk in on top so it cools the tea down ya know. I'm kinda tempted to ditch the convenience of the tea bags. I know you're right that it tastes different when loose leaved and in a pot. I love the tea cozy condom stuff. Really, really great, instructive and delightful read. Well done lad! Did you know the Beatniks used tea as a euphemism for weed. I think that's insulting, don't you? Tea is NOT a weed is it? It's surely a plant.
