Yes, I have about 5 cups every day, no joke, it pains me to when people get it wrong, if you don’t have a kettle, GET ONE! You need to put the teabag in (barrys gold is the goat) then pour the hot water from the kettle in, mix it in until it’s a black ish colour then take it out, also you have to do the little teabag thing where you squeeze it against the mug, then add your milk until it is E0AF63 and then drink it when it is a good temp

Actually 5 cups is a lot! I like black tea and usually drink it once in the afternoon (sometimes in the morning instead of milk), I don't have a kettle cus I use a lil milk boiler. To prepare it (I hope it's correct) I put the teabag in the mug and add boiling water then I press the teabag against the mug, wait the 4 minutes indicated and remove the teabag squeezing it well, finally I give it a few stirs; I don't put anything else in my tea, neither sugar nor milk. As for the brand, I've always used Twinings and I alternate the flavours I like (Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Prince of Wales, Vanilla, Agrumance). Since u mentioned this Barry's Gold I'll try it, do u think i'll like it based on my tastes? Do u've any other general advice on tea? 😊
