Hiya,
You Limeys and other foreigners are funny as hell when the subject of tea comes up. Each with your own schtick, why a certain method's the best to make it and also what's the best tasting one.
I can easily imagine me judging the different teas y'all have mentioned here. Having a bunch of cups to sample.....yeah I can see that. Going to the first cup, taking a good sized sip, and then spitting into something. Like a judge. After a short deliberation my thought was it tasted like weak, insipid, mildly scented hot water. Crap, in other words.
Same result all down the line, no matter the method or variety. All crap in mostly the same way. Still tasted like tea, which is just not good. Ok wait, some Chai can be tasty if it's doctored up properly with ingredients that taste like something plus sugar. Oh, that includes whipped cream of course.
So it's amusing to see all the tea butterflies flittering around in this thread...always is. Like there's anything worthwhile at all in the stuff. Nothing that I can see.
I might be in the TSR minority on this subject,
Martin
