I'm sure I've mentioned a few times that I love tea. I drink it almost every day, and I tend to go for that beverage even when I go to a "coffee" shop.While roaming the blogs today I came across a great list of tea tips over at the Accidental Hedonist. The list is fairly long, but not overly so. It is also pretty thorough. You get advice on several things, from switching to loose leaf tea to cleaning tea stains.
There are one or two tips I don't quite agree with, but over all these are some pretty good things for a tea drinker to know. Check out the whole list and see what you think. Do you have any good tea tips? I'd love to know about them.

Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)

I'm British and my biggest tea tip to Americans is PUT MILK IN IT. Seriously. You haven't had a decent cuppa until you've dumped some moo juice in there. :D

The tea in teabags is dust or fannings, which release the puckery tannins quickly, destroying the real taste and requiring sugar, at least. You will get plenty of anti-oxidants through a good black self tea such as Assam which won't require extra flavoring, milk, sugar, or other adulterants.
And yes, teabags are often stale, as the air oxidises the flavors; unbroken leaves last far longer. Not around me, of course.
