Can we talk about tea?

I learned to drink tea while I was living in Singapore. The coffee there was wretched, so I switched to tea.

I’m curious about the whole culture of tea.

What kind of kettle do you use? I use an electric one.

What do you do while waiting for the kettle to boil? I ponder my navel.

Do you use tea in bags or loose leaf? Loose leaf for me, please.

If you make just one cup, what kind of infuser do you use? I have several, but I favor the mesh ball.

Tell us about your tea pots. I have two. One is traditional, but the one I use more often is a modern one by Bodum.

Finally, is tea just a drink for you, or is it a way of life?
