      I love a very hot cup of black tea steeped for at least 5 minutes in a warm mug with a saucer on top to keep it hot. I agree with Orwell, I pour some whole milk in afterwards, just to barely lighten. No sugar, it does ruin the taste of the tea. So relaxing, yet rejuvenating. I can use both a tea bag or loose, but the loose tea is in some type of container. Could not imagine drinking the leaves. Perhaps I could buy a small strainer and see if it makes a difference. I also need to try Indian tea. I’m excited for this adventure into tea drinking.

        I just got into tea in the last few years. It has been a very enjoyable experience. Happy Sipping!

      Anyone who has used that comforting phrase ‘a nice cup of tea’ invariably means Indian tea.

      Some people would answer that they don’t like tea in itself, that they only drink it in order to be warmed and stimulated, and they need sugar to take the taste away. To those misguided people I would say: Try drinking tea without sugar for, say, a fortnight and it is very unlikely that you will ever want to ruin your tea by sweetening it again.
