Indians eat with their fingers. Of the right hand only. No chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives or any such cutlery for us.

that was hilarious!

 

The PM is keen to show India as the ‘mother of democracy’, but this is one of the most undemocratic periods in its history, says the journalist Rana Ayyub

 

Despite his lip-service to democracy and human rights, Biden keeps embracing autocrats and would-be autocrats

It isn't just the quality of the tea leaf/ powder in the teabag that is being called out, The method of brewing tea ruins it all. Proper tea (is theft, We all laughed, including the toaster) is made by boiling tea leaves/ CTC tea/ dust tea in water or water + milk not by dunking a teabag or 2 in a cup of tepid water for a few seconds, and then topping it with an even more tepid milk.

The Chinese brew lovely tea using loose tea leaves because the water they use is boiling hot and in a teapot, which lets the tea release its flavours quickly, and of course they don't add milk.

You can try out all methods and compare the results. Of course, if you try loose leaf tea, you might not go back to tea bags.

An advantage of loose tea is you can customize your tea blend. Eg, blend Assam and Darjeeling in 1:1 ratio for a balanced tea of strength and flavour, 1:2 for a more flavourful tea with a decent body, 2:1 for an aromatic tea that can kick like a mule. A Ceylon tea blend of nuwara Eliya tea & Kandy tea is a balm for a tired heart.

LOL! Clever of them to use tea as an identity test. Quite like Ukrainians asking suspected Russians to pronounce 'Palyanytsia'.
