I'm
keen on the science of tea, and recently helped design a tea machine
for Lyons' new flag ship tea house. I was also "Champion Tea Maker" in
the scouts (no mean feet seeing as Yorkshire is the highest consumer
of tea per capita anywhere in the world). Does this qualify me to ask
questions about tea drinking in the R.F.D.T user group? I don't know.

Qualification doesn,t matter, actually your mail already excited me a
lot. What is that "Tea machine for Lyons"

To answer my own question: "Have I had any tea related thrilling
experiences in my life?" Well, we used to live on a particularly bad
stretch of road in the countryside where accidents were common. Police
and survivors used to congregate inside our kitchen. I remember making
cups of strong hot sweet tea for the victims as they shook and
recounted stories of how they'd escaped with their lives: a post
thrill soothing effect. I also often make tea for my partner in bed ?
this too is a shared post thrill soothing ritual.

Man, isn,t it scary to hear all those stories-how those victims
escaped with their lives?

Have YOU had any experiences where tea played an important role in
thrill ? either during or afterwards?

Ya, I have one from college life. I used to scare people with ghost
stories. One night I saw a ghost riding on a old
tree(Hallucination,Maybe i had too much). Anyway I was fainted. When I
got back my sence i found out this one of the most preetiest girl from
college(who i used to like a lot)giving me some herbal infusion. I
felt so thrilled. Because I always wanted to be a friend of her. well,
do you consider this as your answer. That cup of herbal tea really
played an important role(because we became friend after that day) and
thrilled me.
