Top 5 Tea Stories

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

In 2014 I wrote The Perfect Cup of Tea and I learned that Brits really don’t like it when you get tea making wrong. Note: I have since corrected my mistake and promise to never, ever do anything so heinous to tea, even if only in a story, again.

1. Gill O’s Tea Parties Suck, was written as a response to my story. I like to think my error, in that it produced such a delightfully humorous response, was almost worth making.
2. Feels Like Home by Noelia G - Buffy’s visit to Giles doesn’t start out as well as she’d hoped.
3. The Art of Teas by ljs. This is so cute! Giles and Anya have a tea ritual for watching Friends.
4. Genuine Old British Guy Tea by Snickfic - Giles is ill. Buffy makes tea.
5. Pennyroyal Tea by a2zmom - what you can and can’t drink, in public at least, when you appear to be twelve.

Thanks. I read a lot of tea stories to find these!

LOL, what a wonderful theme. I'm sure Brits would be scandalized by the fact that I stick a teabag in a mug of cold water and heat it up in the microwave (and then reheat the same bag at leasdt twice) ;)

*laughs* I usually microwave the water first but sometimes I do it your way. Although I don't tend to reuse the bag. There's also use the coffee machine but don't put coffee in it and do put teabags into the pot. That's for herbal tea though and I'm not sure if herbal actually counts as tea. ;-)

And we avoid caffeine so virtually everything we drink is herbal. We are utter and complete heathens!

Oh, no, I must have caffeine!

This Brit is totally aghast! Are you a heathen?

[yourlibrarian]
