027. Rules of tea/life
1. If you do the small things well, you will do the big things well.
2. Show respect for the person you are making tea for. You should show all people an equal amout of respect.
3. There are no shortcuts in life, making a cup of tea can teach you that.
4. You will only be as good as your last cup. Consistency is important.
5. Always have the right ingredients and the right tools for the job. Never skimp on either.
6. No matter how busy you are, you always need time for a break. It helps put everything into perspective.
7. Always put others first. If someone likes weak tea don't give them strong tea just because that is what you like.
8. Be open to new ideas. Maybe putting the milk in last has some benefits.*
9. Don't go to the trouble of making a great cuppa only to spoil it with cheap biscuits.
*I don't have milk in my tea, though.
