The mug was all it was about dude.
It's Darjeeling with milk. All tea looks a bit shite TBH it just isn't photogenic.

I agree, although you're not supposed to put milk in Darjeeling!:D
Fair enough if you like that way, but that does partly explain the colour. Scroll back to the pic I posted on the previous page of the Darjeeling and cake I had, and observe it's lovely deep amber colour, sans milk!:eyebrows:
I think the only 'fine tea' I might put milk in is Assam.

Lady Grey. Teabag, 2m 20secs at 95c infuse. A little lemon and honey. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f85faf8133.jpg
I scrolled back and I am sure the cake was nice but the tea, I am afraid my dear Deirdry, is just a clear brown liquid.Quote:

BTW I don't like Darjeeling without milk so Input it in. I also think it tastes best luke warm or even cold.
Lol, whilst I agree that tea isn't particularly photogenic, we'll have to agree to disagree on the colour... On my display, I see it as more of a lovely deep amber, just as it should be, not simply "brown liquid":eyebrows:
However, what makes you put milk in Darjeeling? It totally spoils it, IMHO, as it ruins its delicate floral flavour, and really doesn't taste nice. But I guess if you like like that, that's cool:)

Nice...Yes, that looks more like tea!:D;) And that isn't 'brown' either....Quote:
