One of my fave teas is good ol' Earl Grey. I've found only one brand
I did not like, but this outta many EGs. Basically, I wanna know if
EG and other black teas use a dye. Not only is my white tea cup
stained after a cuppa EG, but my stainless steel tea spoon is also
stained! I've yet to run across anything that would stain stainless
steel. Only Earl Grey tea.
Is this true of other black teas?
nb
Yes, all black teas stain, but it's not a dye, it's the tannin in theYou shoudl get a load of the inside of my zhesha teapot. If you think black stains badly, you have no idea what years of Oolongs can do to a thing!
tea, English Breakfast certainly does...
