Do I like tea? Well of course I do! I cannot remember for certain, but I think I was 7 years old when I was allowed to drink milky tea (and 10 when I was given coffee). From the age of 10 years I have taken my tea with a little milk and no sugar. Nowadays I mostly drink PG Tips or Twinnings Strong English breakfast, both in tea bags. If I am making tea just for myself, I have lapsang souchong, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Russian caravan, or English breakfast, all in loose tea. I make it in a small one-person-sized red teapot with an infuser. When I was a child in the north east of England, my mother bought tea from the Rington's tea man. Rington's sold tea, and coffee and biscuits, door-to-door. The tea man would carry a very large basket with the things he had to sell. I believe that the tea is still sold that way today, though you can buy it online. In all my years of drinking tea, I have never had ginger lily tea though! Apparently, there is a lily named butterfly ginger or ginger lily.
