I’d like to apologize to the entire country for allowing this to have happened. I’m sorry.

Update

Made a small Tesco run and got some Yorkshire Tea. On with the day.

    This is some high stakes shit.

    I have a well and filtration, so there’s some local minerality happening; thank goodness I have several months to experiment.

      I both love and respect the time you’re putting in to try and make it perfect - but don’t panic and overthink it.

      If you include having a cup of tea at work, most of us are fine with “whatever hot water is available, from whatever limescale-ridden kettle is available, on top of whatever bog-standard teabags are in the shared kitchen, milk if it’s not past the expiry date, without milk if it is”.

      You can get perfect temperature water, pre-warmed cups, filtered water etc, but most of the flavour in a cup of tea comes from a) leaving the tea bag in long enough to make sure it’s strong enough, b) how hard the tea-drinker’s workday or journey was.

        I was being slightly facetious but I do appreciate the reassurance. I will leave them a kettle but skip the matcha whisk.
