I admit it is somewhat more involved (only at the beginning when your not used to the proceedure yet, though) than throwing a tea bag in a cup of hot water. But it creates a completely different drink!<BR/>I also don't understand why you would bother with loose leaf tea if you destroy its flavour by using milk & honey. I do like honey but it has a VERY strong flavour of its own and overpowers any tea.<BR/>But then, I'm very particular about tea and seek unique (non-aromathised) flavours from unblended teas.<BR/>If you like strong teas like Irish breakfast, try a Yunnan Golden Tips or - better still, but more expensive - Yunnan Pure Gold (exclusively furry golden buds) WITHOUT MILK AND HONEY! <BR/>From my experience: most people only use milk & sweetener in black tea because they use a low quality tea and the tea therefore turns bitter quite easily.<BR/>Jo (<A HREF="http://www.yayateahouse.co.nz" REL="nofollow">Ya-Ya House of Excellent Teas</A>)KiwiTrackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937956261442420198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940841.post-1168802828930564472007-01-14T14:33:00.000-05:002007-01-14T14:33:00.000-05:00I'll assume you're joking around.

You can make a brilliant cup of loose leaf tea in 5-8 minutes (depending on whether you're steeping black, green or white tea). <BR/><BR/>If you prefer to use bagged tea, there are a number of newer bags coming out that contain "whole leaf" tea. Numi Teas are bagged whole leaf and awesome. They take no time all all.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.<BR/><BR/>/MouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940841.post-1168802539442390212007-01-14T14:28:00.000-05:002007-01-14T14:28:00.000-05:00I'll assume you're joking around.
