I do that! I haven't always done it but I've been disappointed in the lack of flavour in many brands, most brands, so I've been doing that for about a year now.

I think it helps.
But nothing seems to have the taste and the feeling I used to get from tea growing up.

Will I have to go back to tea leaves I wonder. It's just the mess and disposing of tea leaves I wouldn't want to go back to.

It has to be tea leaves! Whenever I have tea made with a tea bag, it just tastes like vaguely flavoured hot water. Tea leaves give the proper tea flavour. I have a little teapot with an inbuilt strainer/infuser and you just pull out the strainer when you're done and pop the leaves in the compost bin. No mess.

A surprisingly heavy day in history.

• 1773 – The Boston Tea Party.
This was the night colonists dumped British tea into Boston Harbor. No speeches. No debates. Just enough is enough.


• 1944 – The Battle of the Bulge begins.
Hitler launched a massive surprise attack. It became the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army in WWII.


• 1985 – The Simpsons debut.
They first appeared as short cartoons on The Tracey Ullman Show. Nobody knew it would turn into the longest-running TV series ever.


• 1997 – Titanic hits theaters.
Eleven Oscars later… people were still arguing about whether Jack could’ve fit on that door.

History can be intense — so thank goodness it also gave us yellow cartoon families and epic movie drama.

I resisted seeing Titanic for years and years. Not a fan of the rom-dram and I already knew the ending; the boat sinks.
