Tea

How many teas can one person have? And what do they all say about us?

Here we have good old PG (sadly no longer my cup of choice);
> York loose tea (for when mum visits and only a teapot will do);
> Moroccan mint tea (the best mint tea EVER, nothing wishy washy about this);
> Rooibos Chai (spicy, warming and caffeine free);
> Fortnum and Mason's orange scented loose tea (via a F&M hamper last Christmas from my stepmother, and, it has to be said, barely touched);
> Gunpowder tea (a heavier-than-it-looks box of gnarled up bullets, bought from a rather dirty market at the central station in Brussels, and part of a sad attempt at creating my own verson of Moroccan mint when it went out of stock for three weeks);
> Lady Earl, which is rather tasty when mixed with real mint leaves;
> Rooibos Tick Tock for those of us who don't get on with caffeine. An acquired taste, a bit like Guinness (I mean, the acquired taste part, not that it tastes like Guinness .... now there's an idea) but once you break through the taste part it refreshes like no other.
