I am a tea drinker, hardly surprising as I grew up mostly in England. There are many camps in the tea drinking world, I like mine strong whether it’s Chinese Tea or English breakfast. Come to think of it, I even like herbal teas well stewed. My neighbour, on the other hand, claims the amount of leaves I use for one pot would last her a week! Let’s just say we BYO whenever we get together to have tea.

Here is an interesting article from a food blog called Chez Pim I regularly tune in to, it is a very detailed write up comparing and contrasting different types of loose leaf tea and tea bags. Depending on which country you are from, some of the brands will not be familiar but the gist of the article is loose leaf is the way to go. My kids bought me a teapot for my birthday that has a removable middle, think beaker with lots of little holes, it takes care of the whole drama of getting the used tea leaves out of the pot.
