TID and TEA bits...

Some bits of information from "THE TEA TEMPTRESS" that will entertain and help you as a tea connoisseur. If you have helpful hints, please feel free to share!

~~~~~~
Did you know that "teas" that are made from herbs, flowers, fruits or roots are not actually TEA, but INFUSIONS?? In order to be classified as "TEA" your leaves must be harvested from the Camellia sinensis plant - the evergreen TEA plant!

~~~~~~

Did you know the best way to brew a STRONG cup of tea is to increase the amount of tea that you use in the brewing process? DON'T increase the brew time, because that will make a bitter, cloudy tea!

~~~~~~

Using the natural light of the sun in SUN TEA will make a wonderful, clear glass of ICED TEA. BUT...sometimes you just can't wait all day. So, if you are in a hurry, you can brew your tea as usual, and then allow the tea to come to room temperature before pouring over ice and you will avoid any bitter taste!

~~~~~~

Tea drinkers are very particular about their tea cups. WHY? Because the type of china that you drink from can accentuate and improve the color and taste of your tea. Choose what you like and enjoy each sip!

~~~~~~

While having tea it is customary to only fill a tea cup 70% full. This allows room in the cup for "FRIENDSHIP."

~~~~~~

Your fine china and porcelain tea cups and pots should not be washed in the dishwasher. ESPECIALLY if they are hand painted. ALSO, take care to avoid drinking coffee our of your tea cups as porcelain and china will absorb the coffee flavor and change the gentle taste of your tea.
