The slowness of making tea

This post: http://joymachine.typepad.com/northern_planner/2006/07/why_i_love_tea.html about tea drinking I thought was interesting. I had not thought about the slowness of making tea before – it’s impossible to make a drinkable “fast” cup of tea. The issue of Milk In First (MIF) is supposed to be the origin of the expression “He / she looked miffed” (ie looked as if just given a cup of tea where the milk had been put in first).

Northern Planner is a site I check daily – it looks at marketing from an agency point of view.
