Indian Tea
|
Out comes the the sugar tongs and the fine bone china. To hell will zen monks - I need a little cuppa of Earl Grey!!
Earl Grey was named for a British diplomat .... History Silver tray Just as you got into the whole bamboo tray and Yixing clay pots - now we get into English bone china cup and saucers and a silver pot! There is something special about being served on a silver tray, so do it yourself! Manners can make a moment. Just as you got past the bitter taste of green tea, so you must sip your way past the black. Just say no to milk and sugar. Its a protestant punishing thing!
