yeah I heard many years ago thats why they stopped making kasenit, I've got an unopened tin of it, its got an expiry date on it of 30/03/97. hopefully it'll be fine if I ever get round to using it
Medium with one sugar. When i had my old workshop the tea mugs tended to get a bit grim. One day while cutting a long plank on the bandsaw i knocked them all onto the floor where they broke. A customer arrived shortly afterwards to find three of us drinking tea from Kiti kat tins.
He declined the offer of a cup(tin). Dunno why!

That the beauty with not taking sugar, quick stir with the bag, squeeze it out and chuck it on the floor in front of the fire. No spoon required.

first of all, a damned Tea bag does not get anywhere near my mug, Taylors Yorkshire tea in leaf form into an individual one cup mesh strainer,mug preheated.
The milk goes in last and its just a dash, I used to drink me brew without milk but my guts won't take it now, so a dash of skimmed milk sorts that out.No sugar.
Coffee drinkers? -the French/Germans/Italians are all coffee drinking nations -look at their military history when they came up against the the tea drinking nation.
At least the French and Italians play rugby- so thats OK as rugby, like football, are the great games invented by the tea drinking nation.
And why are we crap at those games? because we play the game because we are the tea drinking nation.
So anyway, me brew is hot and strong.

When I was at work (retired now) I used to make a pot of tea & take it back to my office desk. I got allsorts of comments about it, but did I care, no cos I got a decent mug of tea. It doesn't brew properly with a bag in a mug I think
Light coloured carpet too...I bet....

Coffee seems to work better than tea in the cold, but in hot climates, tea is tops , so when on winter warfare in the arctic I drank coffee in the morning, but after a ski march it was hot sweet tea; but in the jungle it was always tea, and I did lace it with sugar there as well as hot sweet tea was good when you had been sweating bucketloads.
In the cold, tea is good laced with rum, which was issued ,but then coffee is pretty good laced with a spirit.
One of the lads gave me some of the powdered tea sachets that they get in the ration packs now,I was suprised how good it was.
Yes, I'd have to agree with that, I don't carry teabags when camping or working away from home, I still brew leaf tea using one of these in my mug http://www.finum.com/filters/permanent-filters/brewing-basket-m.html.

I was always told when as a young lad & started work, there was something else that was only used for stirring my tea!
