Tea of preference here comprises a blend of one teaspoonful each of assam, darjeeling, and ceylon. Waitrose coz it's convenient; twinings is perfectly good too.
Occasionally we go to the Algerian Coffee Stores in Old Compton Street for 'speciality' teas - well worth it for the experience of the shop as much as anything.

Yesterday, I changed my tea making preference. Essentially, I have changed the amount of milk I add.
For years I have always soaked one PG Tips tea bag in recently drawn and boiled water for four minutes. Then added one level teaspoon of sugar and then quite a lot of milk, so it is strong but milky and slightly sweet.
At the barber's, my barber made me a cup of tea and only added a splash of milk. He said that he likes his tea strong and if I wanted, I could add more milk to my taste. I couldn't be bothered.
To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed the cup of tea prepared in this fashion.
So now I prepare my tea as per my second paragraph, except I only add a splash of milk.
Isn't it fascinating?

I think the role of habit is fascinating... and that perhaps we can usefully challenge ourselves over any habit.
I used to find that, on the whole, I could manage without tea in countries on the European continent, where the quality of what is offered doesn't appeal, and the social habit is for coffee. I have to admit to nowadays taking enough teabags with me to ensure at least one decent cup in the morning in my room....

I find that in a lot of countries, the milk is 'long-life' style. I think it's a bonus. I remember back in the day in England, people would order a bottle of sterilised milk with the crimped metal top for their tea. My mum and dad didn't, it was always red top. But whenever I had tea in other people's house who used sterraz, I really enjoyed it.
