Tea Bags vs Tea Leaves: Prince Charles
In Roland Mesnier's new memoir: "All the Presidents' Patries: Twenty-Five Years in the White House," he mentions a vist by Prince Charles to the Reagan White House
"IN THE OVAL OFFICE, PRINCE CHARLES ordered tea and was served hot water and a cup with a teabag -- but never touched it. Ronald Reagan asked him what was wrong. The prince said, "I didn't know what to do with the little bag." He had never seen one in his life."
Have you tried melon flavored green tea? If so, how did you like its taste?

This is a funny story. See how England is one of major tea culture in the world, serving the prince tea bag can be seen as an insult. Don't get me wrong, tea bags are definetely convenient but they should only be served to people who want speedy tea. With the prince who have been used to tea ceremonies all his life, this kind of quick fix seems a bit inappropriate.
