I must confess that old age laziness has finally driven me to use 
tea-bags in a mug, albeit it is difficult to find any where the major 
flavour is not that of the paper bag itself. Yorkshire Gold is the 
current just-about acceptable brand. My choice of loose tea would be 
something like half Darjeeling and half Assam. It has to be quite strong 
to suit me. My ex-wife used to re-use tea bags at least once. <Shudder> 
<on several grounds>. I'm told she still does.

Naturally, it is drunk without milk - adding milk to tea is of the same 
order of desirability as rancid castor oil in beer - British or Belgian 
beer that is - rancid castor oil (or anything else) would add at least 
some flavour to American Beer. Sorry, Left-Pondians - but the local 
gnats can pee about five times stronger than Budweiser.

TTFN,
