"Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world."
The good Lady Sarah, in her infinite wisdom, knows that ol' Gurn enjoys the finer things in life. I am becoming more and more likely to be taking tea on the bank these days, with either my trusty sidekick Steve or his reliable rival Kelly. With this in mind she has brought me some fine Miles' Ceylon loose tea.
Neatly packaged in its own mini tea chest caddy, well I just cant wait to brew up. I even have a tutorial from His Noble Yates-ness to aid me.....
Many have waxed lyrical about the magical ritual of 'taking' tea....I think my favourite quote is..
"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of effervescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things."
