We don't use loose tea only teabags but always use a teapot and bone china mugs. It a standing joke that Hubby loves tea so much he always "drinks the pot dry!".
CEVA Freight (UK) Ltd in Belfast religiously uses loose leaf Yorkshire Tea. It is not on the corporate approved list so we all club together to buy it ourselves from Tesco. Tea is important. Best drink of the day.
We certain use loose leaf tea, much better taste than teabags and we use a Chatsford teapot which contains it's on integral strainer, no tea leaves get out and you take the strainer out and empty it straight into the bin. Bliss.
I always thought tea is a revolting drink and a visit to a tea plantation in Sri Lanka was the last straw. I don't want to put anybody off but they don't have Safety and Health or Hygene.
Always loose tea in a teapot, plus strainer of course and served in a bone china mug. Tea bags are sooo wrong - must be something to do with putting the milk in last.
it depends which teabags diddly.... if i use say tetley or pg i put a bit of milk in but it tastes weird... if i use nice ones i dont use milk and they are lovely
