3. A Few Popular Blends Of Tea... ASSAM: A tea from Assam, North-East India. Assam tea is full bodied with a rich and malty flavour. An invigorating drink that is ideal for the early morning occasions. It takes milk and sugar nicely, if you so wish. DARJEELING: Known as the champagne of teas, Darjeeling is grown many thousands of feet above sea-level in the foot hills of the Himalayan mountains. Darjeeling is a very light and delicate tea characterised by a muscatel flavour. It is an ideal tea to drink with a large meal and best served without milk. CEYLON ORANGE: Ceylon Orange tea is delicate, light, and bright with a distinct flavour and a golden colour. It is perfect without milk or sugar and ideal for those who prefer light tea. A slice of lemon enhances the tea and is a very refreshing addition. ENGLISH BREAKFAST: English Breakfast tea is a blend of Indian and Ceylon tea, and is a balanced and stronger full-bodied tea with an elegant flavour. Avoid any blends with China tea included as the tea will be bitter and not a genuine English breakfast blend. ENGLISH AFTERNOON: The traditional English Afternoon tea is a blend of Darjeeling, Assam, and Ceylon teas. Although recommended mainly for afternoon or evenings, this is an excellent tea with a subtle fragrant flavour, appropriate at any time of the day. It is best taken without milk but is mostly drank with milk in Ireland and England. EARL GREY: Earl Grey is a blend of Indian and Ceylon teas, flavoured with the citrus oil of bergamot. It is the oil that gives the blend its characteristic 'scented' aroma and flavour. This is one of the most popular speciality teas and is usually an afternoon drink. Those that prefer a milder tea with less scent often drink ' Lady Grey ' tea instead. Milk should never be added to either blend.

4. The Famous Teapot This is the teapot used to make tea in our home. This teapot has been serving tea in our house for a long time. Apparently 7 or 8 years. This teapot is still in great condition after 8 years service. Subsequently it can probably be said that there is some sort of an emotional attachment between the teapot and the user.

5. In regards to what my family and I take along with our tea, everyone likes semi-skimmed milk with their tea. Surprisingly nobody in my household takes sugar with their tea.

11. Oddly enough nobody in my home drinks coffee. This is grand until my mother has visitors and somebody asks for coffee instead of tea which is usually a rare occurrence. As you’d expect there would be a bit of a panic on. Due to the fact that nobody at home makes coffee on a daily basis this makes this process much more complicated and time consuming.

12. Tea At Work… Tea at work is quite a simple quick process. There are five tools involved. The flask, the teabag, the cup and the spoon and last but not least the milk. In order for me to make my tea I simply pour the boiling water from the flask into the cup with the teabag already in it I then remove the teabag with the spoon and lastly add a small amount of milk making my perfect cup of tea.
