I am convinced that serving tea is quite ceremonial, at least in some cultures. Here in Glasgow we have what are termed tea rooms, some designed by world famous designers such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, with high backed chairs and breathtaking interior design, anyway, tea comes in many manifestations, Turkish tea, thick, black and very sweet served in small cups the size of whiskey shot glasses, Indian tea, served with cinnamon and cardamom, generally made with milk instead of water, sweet and fragrant, Chinese green tea, the ultimate minimalist choice or the refined afternoon high tea of Devon, served with scones, clotted cream and some berried jam,
how do you take your tea,

Do you mean 'black tea' or tea without milk - I don't know how to order tea 🙂
their package unopened. Do so yourself, when you're ready, then leisurely steep
to your own liking of strength. Return the water if it's the least bit tepid.

ahhh yes, fragrant and tasteful! There is Lady Grey too I believe. I love tea after a particularly hot curry, the tea brings to the fore the spices once again.
'Red Bush' is a nice naturally decaf option.
