So, when I drink Yorkshire black tea, I feel the difference
On a serious note....I drink 6-7 cups of tea per day. When I had a cold last week it was 9-10 cups per day. I think, it is wrong to drink so much of strong black tea. So, I have decided to dilute my tea with some fruity stuff. I don't think I will be able to carry on. We will see. Although, who knows? It took me 8 months to stop drinking tea with sugar. Then another year to start enjoying the drink. Maybe I will get used to the fruity tea too?

Try loose leaf. It is sooooo much better.

Carnation instant breakfast. First cuppa will come at work

An interesting idea. I never thought about it. I think it is worth to investigate it further

That's what I do at home. However, it is inconvenient at work. Nevertheless, I have some ideas about it. I brought a special thingy for tea brewing. I might try it.

I find that loose leaf takes about as much time as a tea bag and tastes so much better. There is also the option of making your own loose leaf tea bags at home and bring it to work. Just saying

Drinking a pot of Rooibos Vanilla. Cup number 1.

Tea bags you just drop into your cup and that's it. Leaf tea you need another tool for brewing. You need a bit better rubbish bin or whatever to empty the aforementioned tool into. I think I will try one day.
I learned about self-loaders only a couple of days ago from Stitchawl, although I am not sure whether I can buy it in the UK.

Cuppa #4.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack (very later lunch)

Ahh that is why the make your own tea bag is a great option. The bags are large enough to allow the teas to fully open and you have the convience of a tea bag.

Personally, the infuser baskets are easy to use and don't take too long to clean. I have four on my desk because I am lazy. When I had only the one infuser, I would clean it on the way back from the bathroom. It took little to know time.

I have had a Dr. Pepper and am onto a pot of Earl Grey Imperior (TG). So Cuppa 5

Coffee, dark and hot.
