Hi Guys, As an Englishman who has just found this group I am horrified to
hear of the practice of using "Hot Water" to make tea.
Average tea bags covered with boiling water straight from the kettle is a better drink
than the best leaf tea covered by water that is off the boil.
Still it is nice to see how many are drinking tea & realise that civilisation has finaly
reached the new world. 8^)
