Well, the other side to that coin is that I use leftover tea to water my african violets. Since I never can tell when I'll get around to making a pot of tea, I tend to always have some old stuff on hand for that purpose. I do love tea, but I drink a lot less of it these days than I used to. It was a ritual at my dad's house - after-dinner tea. He gets a bit annoyed when I skip it now, because I don't want the caffeine that late in the evening. Besides, his pot has a little too much patina for my taste.
