Passionate Tea Movement - Jane Pettigrew -


HELLO! Getting ready for our TEA PARTY this coming week.
This is part of me sharing my British culture ... 
It's also part of learning the language!
It's called IDIOSYNCRACY, which in easy English 
means all things considered, remember!

There's much more to tea than what you find in a tea bag!!
I remember my grandmother's face every time we were 
at a restaurant  and she'd get a little metal tea pot 
with hot water in it... and the tea bag on the side.
WELL ... Oh! My God! How could you?!

Here is Jane Pettigrew who is a passionate tea expert.
She of course compares it to wine and mentions 'le terroir' ..
