My name is Manon and I am a tea-addict….Always have, always will be. I am proud of it. I even add milk! My English friends would be proud of me…  Georges Mike has an alien point of view on the subject: (How to Be an Alien)

“The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it.
To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit. They suggested that if you do not drink it clear, or with lemon or rum and sugar, but pour a few drops of cold milk into it, and no sugar at all, the desired object is achieved. Once this refreshing, aromatic, oriental beverage was successfully transformed into colourless and tasteless gargling-water, it suddenly became the national drink of Great Britain and Ireland – still retaining, indeed usurping, the high-sounding title of tea.”

Anyway, back to business! Which teapot would you choose?
