Aaaaargh!

Milk goes in the tea! If you do it the other way round then the hot tea straight from the pot can curdle the milk. Professional tea drinkers drink tea neat without milk anyway. I did work for 3 years for the Lipton tea company so I ought to know.....

Is that the company which sells something which supposed to be tea in those little TEA BAGS, or even as an instant powder? Oh no! These ignorants!
Tea must be loose, and there is a real ceremony in tea making.
The only convenience I accept is a tea strainer - but no tea egg or even tea bags.

Pardon me, but tea in powder form, which includes milk, is very nice. We always take TyPhoo QT with us when we're camping, and I always have a jar at work for when the milk runs out but the person whose turn it is to fetch the milk, doesn't.

A lot of the folklore surrounding teamaking is just that, folklore, ingrained with custom and traditon. This is of course fully supported by the tea companies. As a tea drinker you basically have two choices, looseleaf tea or teabags.

Looseleaf tea properly brewed and prepared will always give the best possible taste and flavour. Some of the more aristocratic of teas like Assam, Orange Pekoe, Darjeeling, Lapsang Souchong, etc can only usually be bought in looseleaf form.

For convenience, most of the general public prefer to use teabags due to savings in time and disposal. And to be honest the average palate wouldn't be able to tell much difference betwen the blends anyway. Yes some of the cheaper teabags do contain some dust which is evident on the surface of the tea, but if you buy medium to good quality tea you dont get that.

Tea is produced all over the world, but mainly from China, India, and Ceylon, and in recent years there have been certain UK speciality teas that have become popular.

English Breakfast - Traditionally a blend of Assam and Ceylon teas to create a pungent and flavoursome tea to help digest a full english breakfast and give a good brisk start to the day.

Afternoon Tea - A blend of delicate Darjeeling tea and high-grown Ceylon tea to produce a refreshing and light tea, Afternoon Tea also makes an ideal companion to cucumber sandwiches, cream pastries and fruit cake. The essence of Afternoon Tea blends is not their strength but their flavour.

House Blend - Some tea places offer a 'pot of tea', others have a 'pot of house blend tea'. This tea is equivalent to - if not better than - the type of tea most people buy to use at home. In tea trade language, it is known as a 'popular brand leading blend' . In catering terms it will be a Quality Award tea. It may be a loose leaf or tea bag, either way it's a work of art and can contain 15-35 different teas. These are blended to achieve a consistent quality flavour.

Interesting to note that the London Tea Auctions only finished in 1998 after over 300 years of being at the centre of the wrlds tea trade. Loads more interesting stuff here.

In 95 I had a phase of getting rid of all things I bought during my ex relationship, to not be reminded to that woman anymore... Among rather (financially) worthless stuff there were 20 metal boxes with tea - all different, "aristocratic" teas, the cheapest was worth about 30DM/250g. I sold all 20 of them for 250DM just to get rid of them.
When thinking back I call myself idiot: nowadays I can't afford them anymore -- I just was crazy and mad...

Going out in a tenting holiday without tea, milk or coffee ... just a bottle of Camp Coffee!

Just like I used in the Scouts after the turn of the century, during 1910!

But I did prefer this one!
