Today's been a rather depressing TeaDay. Woke up, heated water, set out tea and cup, and forgot about it. Came back to it 20 mins later and heated water again. Poured, got distracted, and let it steep too long. Got way too bitter (I just had to want green tea this morning... white tea and the 5-6 mins would have been fine *sigh*). Threw that tea out, went to the store, came back, ate lunch and heated up more water, prepared fresh tea, sat down, ate lunch, had 1 cup. Refilled tea while starting to make bread, rushed the end of bread-making and left the house to go see a show (I do so miss live theatre - I haven't actually been involved in a show in over 8 months). Came back and, lo and behold, 3 hours had completely cooled my tea. Heated up still more water, got fresh tea, and finally had a good cup, then made 3 more loaves of bread...
Yea, it's been a long, relatively tea-less day.
