For me a cuppa with freshly brewed leaf tea always taste nicer, but which do you prefer ?
A Teabag or Leaf tea
Always use China cups or mugs and you will have a great cup of tea.

Re: Leaf Tea or Teabag
In the early days of tea-drinking, cups were inclined to crack when hot tea was poured into them. Wedgwood china was the first to incorporate bone, hence the name bone china. In order to minimize the temperature difference which caused cracking, the British fell into the habit of pouring the milk first.Point of interest As Europeans put milk in last, during WWII British spies acting undercover on the continent were specifically warned to pour the tea first in a cafe, to avoid being caught by the Nazis.
