Pie, use cold water to cool it down. I do that with Earl Grey, which should not ever have milk added to it.

pssst..... tea is a way of life, not a religion. It's to be made, drunk and made again, not fannied around with and given silly names....

did you find it?
and under no circumstances buy or eat Green Tea ice cream by Hagan Daz. I've had green tea ice cream I liked, but this--tasted like old socks, ick.

I feel this way about tea/tisanes in general. Makes them undrinkable for me, I love a nice latte...

Of course it works as a statement of your opinion, but in fact the aromatic teas should never, ever be served with lemon, a little milk is acceptable if that is your preference. Of the Earl Grey drinkers here, only one drinks it black, the others all have a splash of milk. But I do agree that apart from Japanese tea (which is understand is virtually unpalatable to Western tastes) there should be no ceremony whatsoever attached to the making, serving or drinking of tea. Cream tea or afternoon tea have their own guidelines, but no more so than a roast dinner, or morning coffee. I dunno, perhaps we have enough pomp and circumstance over here that applying it to the nation's most popular drink seems frivolous...

So, does loose tea hang around in bars and chat up coffee beans?

Then it settles down, gets married, and turns into an old bag.

yes, it was of course just opinion, posted in that way because I know many people put milk in Earl Grey which is SACRILEGE! Actually, I use teabags for earl grey now, because i drink it so infrequently the loose stuff gets nasty. :p

of course it gets nasty because it's been hanging around in bars waiting to hook up and all the while it's beeen drinking alone....
once it's got over the nasty stage it becomes your best friend, which really puts a strainer on the relationship...

So here's what I bought, all still from Adagio:
I've also started a wishlist of all the really expensive teas I won't be buying for myself.
