Re: Pectin and Tea

Re: What can you tell me about these cups?

they look nice. try using them! see if you like the size, volume, shape, etc. also, try with one of your normal cups (ideally a porcelain one) side by side. pour half into each cup. maybe test this with a few kinds of tea. ;) i wouldn't worry about contaminating the cups with different kinds of tea,...

Re: Best water for brewing tea is Natural Spring Water and it's free
