The Tea Scoop

Friday Night at the Movies: Worf

This week's movie is only a short clip, to pair with last week's Star Trek montage.  Notice Worf's good manners.  What a Klingon.

Friday Night at the Movies: An Evening with Capt. Picard

Friday Night at the Movies: Milk First?

The debate will forever rage first over which to add to the cuppa first: tea or milk?  This video comes down on the side of tea first, without ever saying a word. This video, called "My Mum Used To Drink Tea With Milk" is a mesmerizing video of milk being poured into a glass cup of tea.  With gentle guitar music playing as background, I found it quite meditative.  The Twitter user teaboat referred to it as pornographic. I'm not sure that I would use that word, but it is indeed quite sensual.

They are pursuing legal action against Adagio, because some of the customer created custom blends apparently infringe upon Celestial Seasonings' copyright privileges. They are demanding a recall of these blends.  So here is Zach, from Adagio TeaV, personally going to repo these teas.
