Tea & The Queen

This morning on the Today Show they interviewed the chef at the Kentucky Derby who will be preparing tea for Queen Elizabeth on Saturday. He said he'd learned more about tea than he'd ever known before, to which I say, "Thank goodness." My colleague Nichole pointed me to an Internet article about how when Prince Charles was visiting with Ronald Reagan, the staff didn't remove the tea bag from his cup, and he declined to drink the (what passed for) tea. Reagan was horrified, and rightly so!
