[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was younger I pretended to like to tea - not because I’m pretentious but because my gram and my great gram drank tea and had tea cup collections and I wanted to be like them. But most of the time I didn’t like it very much.

During the pandemic when everyone got into something, I got into tea. I bought a bunch of varieties from Harney & Sons (very good quality teas at decent prices) and I also bought an electric kettle with preprogrammed temperature settings. And Harney sent me a nice little guide to tea with my first big order.

I learned that I hadn’t liked tea in the past because I’d always brewed it incorrectly, I’d ruined it by squeezing tea bags and thus getting all the bitter tannins into the cup instead of leaving them in the spent teabags, I’d burnt green and white teas by boiling them at black tea temperature, etc.

Now I really love tea! Not all varieties, but many of them - I especially love green tea which is great because it’s so healthy for me.

But sure, some people don’t like tea. Some people do. Pretentiousness has nothing to do with it.[/quote]

I'm a tea lover...and my favorite is Harney's Paris. Did you know you can subscribe to their tea--I get a lb of Paris delivered monthly:)  [/quote]
