    i had a co worker - who i assume didn’t want others to use his mug - who had a special day each year for washing his tea mug. It was soooo gnarly and crusty the rest of the year, he would gleefully take the clean mug around the office and show everyone on cleaning day. weird dude!

      I once had a colleague who would get hysteric when someone would clean the coffee machine. People are weird. Not cleaning tea potts and even mugs is also quite common among elder germans. They argue it tastes better that way. (They drink the tea without sugar or milk, so it probably isn’t thaaat bad.)

        The fuck you mean sweetening the tea. Raw or bust for classic loose leaf undbroken tea brews.
        Only for things like panning I would consider sweeting or low quality stuff specifically produced to do that.
        But never add sugar to my gyokuro!
