Cyrill!!!
Agree, but also not rapidly boiling water, or even water that has come to a rolling boil. Just after a simmer and before the big bubbles start erupting.
Actually, Hibiscus is used as an abortion drug. You missed his attempt at humour after he was caught out with a Nigerian hooker.
I got typhoo and tetleys vanilla roobibosh. And twinings 'butter smooth' peppermint & vanilla.
Brought them with me. Fuck getting ripped off at Villa for the twinings brand
^^ Irish breakfast tea is like the tea they served in government departments years ago. It tastes stewed no matter how careful you are and also tastes like the tea leaves the more discerning vendors discarded.
^Crikey...officianados of tea will be cringing.
The Brits re-use tea bags, but only on comedies. George Roper and Mr Bean.

Earl grey for me, although the misses currently has a box of raspberry and pomegranate tea which I tried the other day and much to my surprise it was actually quite nice, I might be converted.
Right, but I was asking if it tasted like orange pekoe as it is hard to tell by the box.
I've kind of stayed more away from black teas these days. I find that there is too much caffeine. I prefer herbal teas or green tea.
Nice one.. you can keep the herbal tea for in the evening to relax before bed.
This is this month's selection for me, apologies for picture quality - just a quick snap from the mobile;
Phoenix Jasmine Pearls - From Tai Lao Mountain in Fujian, white tea mixed with jasmine blossoms and rolled into little spheres - light jasminey flavour and a lovely straw-coloured brew
Jing Shuan Oolong - this comes from the Doi Mae Salong area in Chiang Rai - mild and smooth with a sweet taste
Yunnan Dragon - This is a white tea from, er, Yunnan. Leaves are picked young and not rolled. Again, a mild sweetish taste.

Bob do you get these Teas sent to you.? or are they readily available where you are.
They're readily available. We have a very good teashop close by, some I get from a wholefoods stall at the local market (a surprisingly good selection of teas there, that's where I got the Chiang Rai oolong), and I'm often in London so can pick some interesting varieties up there.
Pseudo you do realise your going to get the history of Cha dao now.
