thinking about our neighbors across the pond while sipping my
cup of Twinings Black Currant, after the trouble of making it
properly that is ..

water just to boil (200 F),
pre-heat cup with a hot water rinse,
pour hot water,
*then* immerse the tea leaves,
3-4 minutes depending on desired strength,
slowly remove tea leaves, no squeeze, no shake (avoid the
bitter run off)

ahh

I don't know if twinings is considered great or good or ok but my
taste buds like it.
usually it is English Breakfast but i felt adventurous this
morning :)

considering the medicinal (ie. laxative) effect Black Currant tea
seems to have ???

Robb, have you tried Earl Grey yet. Very nice tea. If you can get Harney's
loose tea you should give them a try. Very nice brand.
