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 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.

In Soviet Russia ...[^]
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.

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:

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.

Two family size bags (Lipton, Tetley, or Luzianne) into the teapot, heat to boiling, remove from heat and let steep at least 15 minutes. Pour into a gallon pitcher onto just under 1 cup sugar, stir until sugar dissolves. Fill rest of pitcher with cold water. What? I'm a good Southern American. Love my sweet tea. (My mother-in-law used to put 2 cups per gallon, too sweet even for me.)

Woah, I follow NATO standard too but it's easy to figure out why: the mug is mine, the tea bags are in my drawers and the hot water dispenser is in the common space. I assemble all I can at my desk, get the hot water and then out of the common space to my desk... it's simply the most efficient way. I also do that at home since water takes time to get hot so I preassemble everything at the table while waiting for the hot water. Adding milk before the water seems just wrong, don't ask me why.

Leaf tea - pot - boiling hot water - brewing time - mug - none of that cow juice or sugar muck. Currently using a selection of Fortnum & Mason's leaf teas, as bought for me by my darling daughter. At the moment I'm being a rebel by drinking Afternoon Blend in the morning!
