My solution to this is bottled water for tea.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hmmm...I wonder if filtered is good enough.

Even with all of that, a cup of tea at home is never good as a cup of tea in England. I think it may have to do with the way the milk is processed in the UK.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just try and get the water warm enough. For as much as I love tea, I drink it weak.
My personal favorite are the handrolled balls of jasmine green tea. They unfurl like like alien tentacles. Also it smells heavenly.

Deleted! Hee! Poor Emily. I'm taunting her.
Dammit! Just so you all know, I'm back now. So no hints.
I thought I was going to do some homework once I got home, but... well, there was CSI. And then there was more CSI, and Back to the 80's. And now there's Criminal Intent.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Best to use water fresh from the cold tap, as well-oxygenated water makes the best tea.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
