    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...

    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.)

      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:

        Reading all the replies so far...I remind myself that I won't drink anything that requires some sort of ceremony to prepare.

          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!
