My wife is a purist from the south of England with several tea brewing options. If I boiled water in the microwave I’d be at real risk of divorce

I used to do house calls a decade ago for IT work. Often customers offered me beverages.

Had a European who worked at the UN for decades make me tea. Blew my socks off. I've never enjoyed tea, but it seems like we just don't know how to make it!

... The next month I was offered tea by a American. I wasn't expecting it being made by a pro, but let him try.

He put "hot" tap water into a cup and tossed a teabag in.
I fake drank it.
