The lab has a selection of specialiteas, as well as some boring normalitea. But remember: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_is_theft!|proper tea is theft!]]

Here's how to brew tea. We have some nice loose-leaf teas that people are using. But something is rottean in the statea of the tea-brewing here at the lab!

There are two tea-pots. The little tea-pot and the big tea-pot. Both have lids. THIS IS A BAD THING (from what we've seen). People are leaving tea they have forgotten about for days! (This inevitably leads to weeks, months if we're not careful!)

The big tea-pot is a big tea-pot with a goudy (goutea) design. it looks nice so people forgetea it has liquid in it.

The little tea-pot is a cute Ikea (that is pronounced ɪ²keːa) one. You won'tea miss the factea there is cold tea in it, butea you may miss the factea there are leaves leftea in it. Here is a photea: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/images/products/riklig-teapot-glass__0328982_pe520136_s4.jpg

Remember, both liquid and wet leaves will attract mould!
