Tea party

[icepixie]

I think I hate change most when it comes to food. Twinnings just changed their teabag packaging over here. Not only do you get five fewer teabags for the same price (argh), but the individual bags don't come in a paper wrapper that you can leave attached to the string anymore. Now it's a plasticy tear-off pouch and a little card tag at the end of the string. I liked the paper wrappers because they let me squeeze the teabag at the end without burning my fingers.

(Yes, I know, sacrilege. But since I also steep my tea for twenty minutes and use no less than three sugars in a cup, I figure it's the least of my sins.)

That's some funky packaging. Although...when you squeeze the tea bag, it's to get the last bit of tea, yes? Does putting the bag on a spoon and wrapping the string around the bag to squeeze it help? I guess I'm just confused about the squeezing at the end thing.

Twenty minutes?! That's some really strong tea!

Oh, maybe you'd know: I'm looking for a new tea mug. I'd like it to be pretty (not just a solid colour), able to hold about 350ml, and microwave safe. Any suggestions?

Twinnings changed their packaging? They SUCK!

I should make a tea icon. I think that's a terrible oversight on my part.
