I'm a coffee drinker myself, but Mrs Humana prefers tea. A month or two back she was very taken with a friend's glass teapot so for Christmas I bought her a large one from the Teamakers of London along with a warmer (basically a night light under a stand) and a box of flowering tea bulbs. It was a bit of a punt since neither of us had ever encountered flowering tea before. I can't say I'm convinced - it seems like an expensive way of drinking hot water - but Mrs H likes her tea weak anyway and has quite taken to this type of green tea.
A former work colleague of mine gave up drinking wine recently because the only wines he likes cost upwards of £60 a bottle and he felt he couldn't justify the extravagance. So he has moved onto tea instead and, yes, he's spending inordinate sums on the substance. I'm tempted to ask him exactly what it is he's buying and where, but it's probably safer not to.
