      No, I had not read it but I have now! The terms were new to me. But can boiling water really break the tea leaves? Hadn’t occurred to me. I can’t quite picture that.

      I always put the leaves first, not sure if they break or not : )

      Yes, it’s an interesting claim. But so many tea rituals are. I’m a passionate believer in Milk In First, even though the actual necessity passed several hundred years ago, and I don’t take milk myself.
