Tea drinkers enjoy possible health benefits, study suggests

people, people people we've been drinking tea wrong this entire time. If you really wanted to know the difference between us and the Royals forget about the bank account. It starts with the way we've been drinking tea. Apparently you're not supposed to use boiling water martin. Is arc *** professional food and drinks taster. Okay. I want that job told the Daily mail, having the water too hot will kill the decide terrible nuances of T. And all you're left with is *** strong flavor of dry astringent tenants. For those who don't know what that means, basically means your T tastes like cabbage water, ice, sharks. Words, not mine the perfect cuppa is that that uses water at around 170 F. We adopted the custom of using boiling water from the days when water wasn't safe to drink and needed to be boiled to kill the bacteria. And regarding what goes first the milk or the water. Well, the Guardian says science has spoken and the verdict is that milk goes first. Otherwise, milk heats unevenly and causes the proteins in it to lose their structure and clump, affecting the taste and contributing to that skin you get on the top. Now is tea better than coffee. That's *** much more heated argument will tackle another day
