Ahhh tea. Is there a more perfect drink known to mankind. I never knew how much of a love affair I had with tea until I couldn't get any. I was in Romania a couple of years ago, doing a wee bit of business at a place called Roman up near the Ukraine border. Asked for tea, they didn't have any at the hotel. Tried to get some at a couple of little shop things, no luck. I was gutted. Had to settle for blackberry tea or some other herb tea, coffee, NEVER.
I have tea no milk no sugar, however it comes hot or not so hot as long as it's tea. Favourite, however has to be Assam, a bit hard to get, but a real treat. My father used to have his tea no milk, two sugars, never coffee. He reckoned coffe to be the devils brew. His neighbour was diagnosed with cancer, and went the alternative way for reatment. One of the things was coffee enemas. Dad reckoned they found a use for the bloody stuff at last.
Is there a tea site where we can give the stuff it's due reverence?

Great thread, great topic, and I agree with everyone so far.
Cheers, mcpiper.
