Social correctness and tea, hmmm, this is a new one! Happy T-Day :-)
ReplyDeleteI think tea has always been socially correct 😸
DeleteAs the New Yorker used to put it: "There will always be an England."
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
And long may she reign
DeleteInteresting, some tea companies suggest different temperatures of the water for green, black or herbal teas Happy T
ReplyDeletethat is interesting. Half the time I just nuke my water 😸
DeleteHave a beautiful day. Regine

And you.
DeleteNothing worse than insipid tea. Thanks for this, I enjoyed listening to it and being socially correct at the same time with the Earl Grey tea I had this morning :) Happy T Day Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDelete😸
DeleteThis is funny. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing for T day. Happy Tuesday and hope you enjoy this T day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWorking on awards today. Looking forward to a cemetery outing tomorrow.
DeleteI started out drinking tea, it was only when I started working that I switched to coffee. Still do have tea on occasion.
ReplyDeleteI've been drinking tea since I was 10 years old. I tried coffee at a place where I worked. The coffee was horrible and I got sick from it. Never had coffee after that.
DeleteHow wonderful was that?!! Well i most certainly do not make proper tea as i use the microwave or my Keurig ... lol. I like tea... will often have it on cold winter nights.. BUT i LOVE coffee.. Thanks CJ! and Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI'm a Heathen, too, and brew my tea using the micro or the Keurig. 😸
DeleteI think for the true Englisherman (and here I refer to my English born and bred grandfather....) it has more to do with the ritual than the actual taste of the tea. I could be wrong..... :-/
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct
DeleteI thoroughly enjoyed listening to this- thanks! And happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at we Americans who have never had a proper pot of tea. I loved when he said sniff the tea. You might get dizzy, but it's perfectly legal.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was British born and bred. She was brought up in a very traditional British household in America. However, she never drank tea. She started giving me coffee when I was in the 9th grade and didn't like milk. Shame on me. I have never had much love of tea, either with milk or lemon. On the other hand, coffee is my drug of choice and I have been addicted since high school. Thanks for sharing this really fun and clever tea video with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video
DeleteI love the instruction on how to make tea. Love it.
ReplyDeleteToo fun!
DeleteThere's a purpose to the ritual. Yes, I agree the weird practice of bringing warm water and a teabag to the table yields an insipid cup. I prefer tea made right. At home ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy T Tuesday!
The best place to make tea. Right at home
DeleteI fell back in love with reading after I found that book! Love this clip - thanks for sharing, CJ. Bunches of hugz and happy T-day!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the movie, but haven't read the book! 😸
DeleteWell thanks to you I've had many great cups of tea;)
ReplyDeleteThat cinnamon tea is the best
DeleteI'm not a tea drinker but having watched two grandmothers, my mother and mother in law I think I might manage to make a proper cup of tea. Hubby uses mug and teabag at home but often orders a pot of tea when we're out.
