Blair pines for 'good cup of tea'

Mr Blair is often seen with a cup of tea in his hand


Tony's perfect cuppa
He may be keeping tight-lipped about what he plans to do next, but Tony Blair has revealed one major regret about his time in power.
That he did not do enough to promote the traditional British cup of tea.

"If I were running for office again I'd make it a major part of any platform," he joked in a US radio interview.

When it was put to him that it was impossible to get a good cup of tea in London, Mr Blair, who stands down next month, said: "I fear you may be right."

Mr Blair was speaking about his plans for retirement to Al-Arabiyah television and National Public Radio's Morning Edition at the end of a two-day trip to Washington.

Sniffing those cigars has harmed your taste buds.

There's nothing like a good cup of choice Chinese tea. Longjing cha (the dragon's well green tea from Hangzhou) and babao cha (the fruity tea from Ningxia), along with jasmine tea from Anxi in Fujian province are hard to beat.

Korea tea, of course, sucks.

I'd say a museum is a suitable place for even traditional Korean tea.
