#I think he acquired the teapot in Tokyo but the cups are from home

[symphonyincoordination]

Charles tea set appreciation. I love that he drinks his booze out of his dainty little teacup.

His tea is identified as Earl Grey (I think in Mash Olympics?) which is exactly what I would assume he was drinking. I am sure he prefers it in the “proper” way, with no milk or sugar and a slice of lemon. I can’t remember if we see if he uses bagged or loose leaf tea, but I suspect he would go for loose leaf by choice, perhaps tolerating bagged at the 4077.

I also don’t remember if any other varieties of his tea are named. I see him as mostly a black tea drinker, but maybe he acquires a taste for green tea in Tokyo. If he does he definitely gets really into the elaborate preparation and brewing it “properly.” I bet he went to a tea ceremony on R&R at least once, and then bored everybody silly relying it at length. He’d probably like those blooming teas. I think he’d be snobby about herbal tea initially, but I could see him maybe getting to like some after he mellows a bit. I can imagine him enjoying like a relaxing chamomile or something after the war. He’d hate those fun tea blends you can get today, like cupcake flavour or whatever. At least publicly. He might enjoy them secretly.

100% he only drinks out of bone china and swears he can taste the difference
