Just returned from a wonderful buffet dinner at a large Kyoto Hotel... They even had two chefs working to cook servings of Kobe steak. To say I made of pig of myself doesn't do justice to all the steak, roast beef, pork, and chicken, lobster tails, sashimi, prepared shellfish of 6 different sorts, tempuras, and a host of other delicacies.
And then they had to go and blow the whole gig by serving Lipton Yellow Label tea... Bummer, dood.
Well, as soon as I walked into the house I dropped a load of East India Company's Royal Breakfast tea into some hot water, waited a few minutes, and satisfied my tea cravings. Completion!

That is exactly what was done at Raffles! They even left the tea bags in the pot when they served it!

Children don't steep well. No patience.
