Dear English Breakfast Tea,

Have you been wondering how I feel about you?  Well, I won’t leave you dangling any longer - I love you!  Yes, it’s your warmth and the comfort of you, and your subtle flavour. I prefer you sans bag, tea leaves fluttering to the bottom of the pot, swollen under hot-poured water.


With milk, with lemon, soothing, winter-warming. Some say you are full of anti-oxidants but I don’t care so much about that, it’s the taste of you and the way you warm my hands and then warm me from the inside out. And I love your music as you are poured from pot into china.

Thank you
