Round or tall?"<br />Anyone else care to comment?Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05653320003833272233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428454997348919713.post-84677955419317700002009-08-11T21:52:08.611+02:002009-08-11T21:52:08.611+02:00Hi, Maggie:

My favorite teas: Mariage Fréres' Marco Polo and Hediard's Au Carmel. I love the ritual of afternoon tea!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428454997348919713.post-4039975769633767672009-08-06T19:27:49.961+02:002009-08-06T19:27:49.961+02:00Interesting Maggie.

I drink tea at breakfast, mid morning, lunchtime, early afternoon and around 4 - 5pm. My own favorite is Earl Grey, but Martin prefers English Breakfast. Recently we have started buying tea by a company called 'Taylors of Harrogate' excellent !<br />I'm also what the Queen calls a 'mif', milk in first, it's supposed to be a derogatory expression directed at the lower clases...<br /> It used to be frowned upon to have tea after a meal in restaurants but with the increase in variety of tea's available now its become acceptable (luckily for me as I'm not that keen on coffee ) <br /><br />Did you know that one of Nigel la Lawson's (a well known British TV cook) ancestors was Joe Lyons of Lyons corner house fame ? <br /><br />I'd like to say that I always drink my tea from Quimper pottery,sometimes I do, but nothing beats tea from a good bone china tea cupGay Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617413734533269414noreply@blogger.com
