Teach me about tea

[FamoFunk]

Tea bag (one cup will do) 2 sugars, lots of milk, hot water, stir, remove tea bag, stir and enjoy.

I'm like the scum of tea making by tea experts, but seriously, there's no other better way.

Happy now?

Sounds a tad pussy-fied to me.

The way MEN go about drinking tea is thus:
1.Get some fresh tea leaves, by raiding the ships of the british empire and plundering their cargo.
2. Make a fire hot enough to melt bones. MELT THEM. Not just burn them, no, they have to liquify.
3. Boil water in a kettle made from your enemies swords.
4. Place tea-leaves in your mouth
5. Pour the hot water on the tea leaves.
6. Pour some milk in afterwards.
7. Wait 7 minutes.
8. Swallow.
9. Repeat each step as often as necessary.
There.
That's how you drink tea.

Haha, maybe I should just man up and do it this way.

PG Tips, a kettle, some water and a mug. Pretty much all you need for a great cup of tea. Put the bag in, pour the water in, leave it for about five minutes, take out the bag then add milk. Sugar's up to you, naturally.

I am a teabag person. I generally drink about a liter or so tea a day (I have a half liter/17 oz mug) and I don't have time for fancy tricks; just boil the water, pop in a bag of Earl Grey or Garzon, wait until my gut instinct tells me its good and then add lemon and lots of sugar. The latter is quite important since I pretty much use my tea as an energy drink, since it keeps me in shape for a longer time, has no backlash once it wears off and, unlike coffee, it doesn't pump my blood pressure up into the skies.

Also, I am arguably disabled when it comes to tea to begin with, since thanks to a childhood accident I lost my sense of smell, so I probably wouldn't be able to properly appreciate the fancier brews even if I tried...

Yes, I am not a tea-expert. So what? Sod off, captcha! -.-
