We got a saying here which I told my Russian friend as well when he was praising Russian black bread ........Here in the states it's better living through chemicals lol. Nuff said.

You could always bake your own?
I was in Turkey last year, they love their tea there, little glasses of it like a shot glass. Really strong and really sweet.
I was in America years ago and couldn't get tea for love nor money. Not what we would call tea anyway. But I hear it's becoming quite trendy

Right then.......I got some Yorkie Gold on the shelf and just enough milk n sug for a pot. Just put the kettle on the hob and I got some cheese,apples,bread butter and cold chicken in the fridge. Tea is on it's way............now...see what ya done.

Yep...I got those glasses and dishes and the Turkish tea as well. You really need to get on the tea thread now.

Pot of course ......no,I've never see that before ???

Only time I make it in the cup is almost ...never lol.

Pot or tin cup either way suits me. I've been on the Rooibos of late. Not 'real' tea I know, but I like it. Going to have black tea for brekky though.

Rooibos? Tea made from kangaroos?

As there is no smiley I will give the serious answer:
Rooibos or red bush tea originated in Africa (south Africa I believe) it is a naturally caffine free tea. And a.reasonable alternative to black tea, it doesn't taste quite the same, but it's ok.
