        It is all very well to say use soft water but around here you get what the water company pumps down the pipe. Sometimes it is soft, sometimes hard (resist the temptation - we've all heard all those jokes before ).

        Personally, I'm going to carry on making tea the way I like it and I don't care for being told by a scientist that there is a "proper" way. I wonder who funded this excercise in pointlessness anyway?

          Fair enough Urban. They did recommend loose leaf.

            Given today's practice of slapping a teabag into the mug and then pouring over the boiling water to let it brew, the milk is gonna be shoved in last anyway.

            Loose tea and teapots ? Ah the quaint old ways often had a lot going for 'em

              You almost could not find loose leaf tea (i.e. English red tea) anymore.

                In a shop, maybe.

                On the Web, I doubt it.

                  Most shops here don't have that anymore. Just bland old tea bags.

                    I tried something along what they reportedly suggested, and it was nice, though I think I overdid it with the milk.

                      So...how does one limit the brewing time to three minutes, in a teapot, with loose leaf tea?
                      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                        How about doing it like civilised people and not bothering with milk...


                        I also agree with looseleaf tea, I had the privilege of sampling some for the first time just the other day. Heavenly!

                          looseleaf tea is great. those paper bags leech the paper flavor into the tea.

                          any chance that this type of tea will be used in the infinite improbability drives?
