More Tea?

I just want a cup of tea.  Any brand, hot, not too strong, no sugar, a little milk – first or last what difference does it make?  In a mug or a cup but not a glass, loose leaf or bag. A quick stir, simple as that.  I think it’s called breakfast or builders tea.

Although sometimes, just for a change, maybe Earl or Lady Grey but that’s it.  Milk not lemon (as if!).  Come to think if it, iced tea can be quite refreshing over ice with a twist of lemon.  Oh and I love camomile if there’s no milk.  Sometimes I prefer it anyway, especially when I have heartburn or if I can’t sleep.  Or a fruit tea.  Twinnings do a nice cranberry, raspberry and elderflower infusion but infusions don’t count do they? If there’s no tea in it, then it can’t be tea can it?

I’m still not convinced about the whole oxidant/antioxidant thing so I steer completely clear of green tea and rooibos.  I’m stuck firmly on amber.  Mint tea is green and more specific so I only go for that if i’m feeling herbal.

Phew.  It’s important because I think you can tell a lot about someone from their choice of tea. Obviously I am a simple guy, with simple needs.

Just to be clear, what I definitely do not want is anything solid in my tea.  That’s not tea nor an infusion, that’s soup.
