Even though I drink tea, Is it still OK to be here??... Maybe I will just have to have coffee today instead? For a change...

I always drink tea in the morning. English tea with milk and sugar.

I am going to throw a change up for tax season. I am going to have tea at my house every Thursday at 3:30 pm. Rotating guest list of interesting people I have always meant to get to know a little better. Now that I've said it, I suppose I better get organized for this Thursday. You can advise me on this tea thing,if you would be so kind, as we are coffee drinkers, by and large. So...I should get Enlgish breakfast tea and maybe an herb tea and serve the former with heavy cream and brown sugar?

Not heavy cream, just milk. Cream overpowers the tea taste, and if you're going to do something special with the sugar, I'd go with turbinado. I'll do a tea post this afternoon. (The morning I spend teaching and tutoring.)

Good morning, all y'all.
Nothing wrong with serving tea with lemon, too. But lemon and milk, not a good combo.

I have been drinking a tea that supposedly has super dooper anti-oxidents in it! It is called Silver Secret White Tea. It is hand picked and harvested from young unopened leaf buds. It is called Silver Needle due to the silver-white downy cover that signals the perfect time to harvest the rarest and most costly of all varieties of tea. They use only the very tips of the bud to preserve the elegant subtlety of unprocessed silver needle white tea. (Can you tell I copied that?)

squirt the lemon in your eye first then use the milk to neutralize it.

I am a purist with my tea... BUT I did have a cup of coffee this morning and I used coffee mate to make it easier for me to take! In honor of the Scribal Terror people!...

Cheers, Zsa Zsa. That coffee mate stuff isn't quite right, y'know...

Yummmmmmm... Survival spice sounds good! Maybe not in my tea???
