One thing you should always remember, allow your Tea to brew for at least five minutes, this will result in a richer taste.

Also, as I recently found out. If a book happens to unexpectedly fall, strike your cup, that is full of HOT Tea, which then falls to the floor, spilling your Tea everywhere. If like me, you happen to be wearing just a pair of socks, you'll soon appreciate their absorbing qualities as they soak up the HOT TEA!!!

But as you've left the Tea to brew for at least five minutes, the Tea had time to cool, & you are not permanently scarred.
