heathfield, I'm buying online, so that's not really an option. But it is a good suggestion.
sandy, I have to admit that I'm not overly particular when making tea. Always has to be in a pot, never a cup. Never bother warming the pot, but I never clean the pot either. 2 teabags (can't be doing with loose tea, I forget there will be leaves at the bottom of my cup and end up with them between my teeth), leave to stew for a good few minutes. Tea first, then milk into a mug.
