A ...I'm impressed by your high standards Jason! A combination of not being organised enough and also being endlessly optimistic about the quality of tea I might get stops me bringing my own. The only exception is at work when, as I've mentioned before, I can basically guarantee that the only option will be disgusting machine tea. I'm still keeping my eyes peeled for a great vegan tea recipe btw.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878795083881920595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364838868284788371.post-17565800944439004502009-09-18T22:48:37.068+01:002009-09-18T22:48:37.068+01:00Ack!

It strikes me when I read this how much easier it is for a little cafe to produce a decent cup of coffee than a comparable cup of tea. The tea just demands a lot more attention than the coffee could ever benefit from. I've gotten to where I don't even want tea offered by a cafe anymore but instead bring a Pu-erh Tuo Cha with me when I go out. I order just hot water and brew my own tea as long as it's allowed. Let them bring out the cake; I'll provide my own tea. <a href="http://www.jasonwitt.org/spirituality-of-tea.html" rel="nofollow">--Spirituality of Tea</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364838868284788371.post-70409989024250956512009-09-05T16:50:25.838+01:002009-09-05T16:50:25.838+01:00It certainly had all the makings of one of our mer...It certainly had all the makings of one of our merry jaunts.
