    It's the same with wine - a thin-lipped glass makes the flavour of the wine stand out more than a thicker one. There is science behind it, but I can't remember why.

      FWIW, the "Correct way to make a cup of tea" does not involve tea bags. Peasants.

      HTH.

        Tea leaves? That brings back memories of trips to see Grandparents. Weak tea with bits in and UHT milk. Yuck.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          I'm going to try to get ISO 3103 certification to add to my CV and see what reaction it gets in interviews.
          For the Army instant contract, for the Coffee drinking lifestyle plebs in any metropolis it will be 'does that run on an iPhone'.

              Chortle! I bet nobody wiould bother looking it up. Might do the same on my CV

              Worse case scenario though, at an old fashioned site, is that being the resident expert you'll be on permanent tea making duty for the entire office!

                This thread will probably run and run

                While I think of it, aren't we about due for another fox hunting thread?

                  Those aren't leaves they are scrapings of the floor.

                  Leaves are leaves.

                      Tea bags go in a tea pot or a mug, never a cup. Only pretentious two-hats would put a bag straight in a cup.
