Tea: It's so much more than a small afternoon pleasure. Connoisseur James Norwood Pratt puts tea in context, as not only "one of the world's greatest handmade works of art," but an antiwar palliative. Along the way, he weighs in on Starbucks, tea bags, and water quality.

@Hokieson1 All you really need is a kettle (either electric or stovetop), cups, a spoon, tea, a clock, and an optional tea pot (best if you're making tea for several people). I always use a pot that has a basket for the tea, or an infuser if I'm making an individual cup (go to any tea shop and ask - they'll know what you need), because it makes for easy cleanup. You can make a perfectly fine cup of tea with just these things.
