The Great British Tea Debate!

[davidcrossfan06]

Why has nobody mentioned beer? WHY?!!

Yes, I know this is a thread about tea, not beer. mad

I drink tea, but not all the time.

Now beer, I wouldn't last a week without.

I'm American as well but I do prefer tea over coffee anyday. I love PG tips. whee

The following is a conversation that makes me very proud indeed, I walked Sir Paul Diggles, ED Emperor, through making his first cup od Earl Grey. Gah, I'm happier than I should be..

Quote:

He: Be right back, I'm going to go butcher some more tea.
I: lol, keep me posted with the results!
He: Perhaps you could walk me through it?
I: What are you doing, exactly?
I: Cup or mug?
He: Putting water in the tea pot.
He: Mug
I: Kettle to teapot?
I: ..then pot to mug?
He: No...
He: I can try to find a teapot
I: How can you put water in the pot without a teapot?
I: *may have misunderstood*
He: It's a metal pot thing. And it goes on the stove.
I: Ah, kettle.
He: redface
I: biggrin
I: S'fine.
He: Ok. So, I put water in kettle.
I: Yup, then wait for it to boil.
He: Ok
I: Is your tea loose or teabag?
He: Teabag. It seems America hates loose tea. Can't find the bloody stuff anywhere.
I: Is this your English Breakfast or the Earl Grey?
He: Earl Grey.
I: *wry grin*
I: This will be like no tea you have ever tried before..
I: ..blame the Bergamot, courtesy of the 1st Earl Grey.
He: Ok, kettle is on stove.
I: Boiling?
He: Not yet. My family just loves to pile crap on top of the stove. Had to un-pile.
I: Ah, ok.


Dinner is called. I'll finish afterwards.

Indeed!

Does the East India Company still produce Tea? If so, I must do my best to avoid them, out of Patriotic Duty. wink
