Tea, huh?

Hi All, I have noticed that most of the Tea drinkers in the office follow the NATO standard Tea Bag->Mug->Hot Water->Milk and retire as an Office with several nationality's ranging from Chinese to Hungarian, I would have thought there would be some variety (in either Tea, style or something) only my Boss drinks Tea from Tea Pot which I believe is loose leaf Lady Grey...

I sometimes have nightmares about a visit to a cheap hotel in London where they served "English breakfast" with teabags that were left for hours in the tea pot. When drinking it was so bitter that it cracked the glazing of my teeth :wtf:

Normally I drink coffee (cafetiere, string dark) - the only times I drink tea is from a fine china pot, in a proper bone china tea cup and saucer, with a scone, butter, strawberry jam, and cream (in that order, and no other) while watching Countdown with Richard Whiteley. It has been a while since my last cup... :laugh:

I use the Starfleet standard: (To my shelf) "Tea, Earl Grey, hot!"
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

The thing is do you get "Tea, Earl Grey, hot!", or just strange looks...

It's not yet perfect. I have had IBM voice recognition software for the last 20 years, so the voice command should be the smallest problem. At the moment I could only activate the 3D printer to print a mug, but would have to make the tea myself when it's finished. :-)

At work, I mostly drink coffee (even though we have one of those dreadful machines with the pods). I'm trying to switch to rooibos tea. I've also challenged the office tea drinker as they all say they can tell the difference between Tea Bag->Mug->Hot Water->Milk Tea Bag->Mug->Milk->Hot Water Mug->Hot Water->Tea Bag->Milk However, none have taken up the challenge :-D

I used to drink tea at work until one fateful day in Budapest. We went to the buffet in the office and I ordered tea from the Soviet era haridian. She took a Styrofoam cup... Added milk... Dropped in a tea bag... Poured in some hot water... Removed tea bag... Gave me the cup. It was the single most disgusting tea of my life and I switched to coffee.

That brings back memories of teatime at my grandma's, over 30 years ago.
Ad astra - both ways!

I think I see the problem. :-\ The Hungarians might know about the Russian-style tea (black, with a sugar cube held in the mouth between the gums and the cheek), but why should they know about the British style?

In the morning it goes like this Grind beans -> Boil water -> pour coffee powder -> stir -> drink. In the evening (4:30 ish). Go out -> feel your eyeballs heating up X| (I live in NOIDA India) -> Get a cup of hot ginger tea -> drink.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock. In fact, I hate knocking.
