Tea Making Tips-1941

Dang, this is tea-making taken seriously, almost to the point of a high art or science! You'd have to go to certain Asian cultures to find tea-making so almost ritualized. Most Americans are basically barbarians when it comes to tea-making; they'd scavenge to find a tea-bag of Lipton, and throw it into tepid water; none of the Six Golden Rules here, folks!

I love the 1941 vintage flavor of this footage! Done as seriously as it is, I almost expected to see members of the Monty Python group appear at some point to illustrate the dire consequences of not following the Six Golden Rules; imprisonment at the very least, or perhaps a summary execution right on the spot of the offense! šŸ˜øimage.jpeg

I loved the video. I treat myself to loose tea leaves which I think has a better flavor but more often than not I just grab a tea bag. I did notice that the tea has a better flavor when heated to just the right temperature. Really scalding hot tea has no flavor in my book.
 
The decline of western civilization may be traced to such things as storing tea in a container with a lid that does not fit properly, or storing tea around cheese. Do not spoil a good tea with bad preparation! Our survival as a society may depend on this. Listen to the very serious, lab-coated gentleman with the heavy eyebrows. The Six Golden Rules were created for our own good, and we ignore them at our peril!

A lady from Scotland taught me how to make tea so I do know these rules. Oh, for some tea and shortbread!

I was born and raised in Scotland, and that's exactly how we always made tea, and it had to be left to ''steep''.. ... ( nowadays I just use tea-bags but tea unlike Coffee, always has to be made with boiling water even if it's just a tea-bag in a cup)
