Time for tea

There is something special about a cup of tea. After years of being a coffee fiend, I am a recent tea convert with a secret penchant for being fussy about how I drink it. Thankfully I'm in good company, with high standards when it comes to tea drinking set down by Japanese Geisha tea ceremonies and the resurgence of the English High Tea.

Everyone has their own rules about how to make the perfect cup of tea, but whether you put the milk in before or after you pour your tea (or prefer yours au naturel) there is bound to be something to catch your eye. And I promise not to tell anyone if you prefer yours from a teabag in a big mug...
