Non, le titre n’est pas une référence politique mais une allusion à la denrée qui envahit une belle partie de ma cuisine. J’aime le thé, j’en propose toujours aux gens qui viennent me rendre visite car la bouteille de coca semble être un secret défense réservé à mon cher et tendre.

Il y a plusieurs types de thé, plusieurs façons de l’apprécier. Aujourd’hui j’aimerais aborder un autre angle de cette consommation ambrée: les mugs. Et oui, le mug est un phénomène sociétal qui touche pas mal de monde. Au point qu’un tumblr y est dédié: Mug Shots

Kusmi – quand les russes s’y mettent ça donne des noms comme Taktir et des thés à l’herbe de bison (qui sentent comme la vodka).

Rest assured the title is not meant to lead us in a British ceremonial or political activism. Tea is just very present in my life. Actually, heaps of tea take up a large part of my kitchen. I always offer some to people who visit simply because I can’t put my hands on the diet coke because my other half seems to think it’s a highly private good that shouldn’t be shared.

There are multiple types of tea, many ways to enjoy them. Today I’d like to take another angle on the stuff: mugs. Yep, the mug can be seen as a social phenomenon with far reaching impact. To the point that there is a tumblr dedicated to it: Mug Shots. How do I know this? Simply because one of the most rocking chicks I know in this town came up with the concept. I’m pretty sure her mug has seen more White Russians than Earl Greys but hey, a mug is a mug.

Here are a few useful links for the road. And remember kiddies: 90C is for black tea, 80C for wulong and 70C for green tea. This gibberish means nothing to you if you are in the U.S.. Just like Fahrenheit is a strange word that very few Europeans know how to spell.

Kusmi tea – when Russians make tea, it turns awesome. I mean Traktir is one of the names in there and they have bison herb tea, smells just like the famous bison herb vodka…
