Tea Bits

Every now and then there is material I want to include in my writings about tea and etiquette but somehow I am unable to find a suitable article and topic. So. We now have "Tea Bits." Just random facts, fun, and fine details of all things tea.

Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world. Water is first

Tea in other languages: Cha (China), Chai (India), Tsai (Greek)

A cup of tea contains 45mg of caffeine compared to 85mg in a cup of coffee

To remove tea stains from teapots and cups simply fill the vessel with cold water and drop in 1 or 2 denture cleaning tablets(not flavored). Let fizz up and sit for at least 10 minutes. Rinse the pot and dry thoroughly.

To keep your rarely used teapots from developing a musty smell put a lump of sugar in the pot before storing it away. Make sure to rinse the pot well before making your next pot of tea.
