I’m usually a C2 sort of guy, but through bad luck and (my own) poor performance, I’ve begun my Sunday morning with a B1. Whilst a bad start to the day, I’m determined not to let it ruin what could be a good Sunday.
Where do you come in on the tea debate?
That really depends in my opinion. For my taste a strong Assam needs a nice dash of fresh cream and a good amount of sugar, so I would say C2. A fine Darjeeling on the other hand should have no milk/D4, while a cheaper Darjeeling should have a small amount of milk as in D1-2. Earl Grey should always be pure, just with or without sugar, to not drown out the Bergamot aroma, so a clear D4. However, when not using loose tea but tea bags it all doesn’t matter, since the main flavor component will be the paper bag anyway.
Cheap tea bags have a weird scent, but anything decent quality isn’t going to taste like paper.
Sorry for being snobbish there. I just prefer loose leaf personally, each to their own!
