Oh and have any of you tried Lady Grey tea? Drunk black its like happiness in a mug.

I'd recommend branching out into Chai. Lady Gray is good, but a bit of a fruity tea (hah, puns). Chai is slowly becoming one of my favourites to drink sans milk, with just a bit of sugar to compliment the cinnamon and ginger in it. Lady Gray, I find, needs a fair bit of sugar to bring out the sweetness of the oranges and lemons; same with Earl Gray, but that one works well with a drop of milk too (heinous crime in my eyes, but, desperate times called for desperate measures).

Back to the topic at hand: I'm obviously not a high-calibre tea brewer, as I boil the kettle, place the bag in the cup, pour on water, stir, remove bag, add sugar if needed, stir. Always end up with a very dark tea. I'm worse when it comes to coffee, but that's granulated and not real cafetiere material so it's fine, no?

Today I made the best cup of tea! perfect amount of milk so it wasn't too strong or too milky, was perfect temperate too but then I tried to make another cup after it and it was no-where near as good, and it burnt my mouth

Tis the mystery of the perfect fluke tea. I look forward to one sometime soon.

Yorkshire tea bag and skimmed milk has always made a decent enough cup of tea for me IMO though nothing beats Starbucks tea....
