Good evening all, some 15 hours since last read of the thread!
Tea (so much controversial discussion!)
Surely, what one consumes is a personal taste. How the desired beverage is produced for your consumption may not meet your desired requirements. However, instead of asking for a pot of tea, why not request the ingredients to your specification to be assembled by you?
For me, if I am producing my own cup of tea, I will leave the teabag in and drink until it slaps me on the nose. Then, I will mash a second cup. My ingredients: tea bag and hot water. Milk, sugar, any other additives, no show!
