To Father there were only two kinds of tea the kind you got for a nickel at the Automat, and the kind that Mother privately consumed. But here he had to choose intelligently among orange pekoe, oolong, Ceylon, and English-breakfast teas. Father did a very brave thing, though he probably will never get the Carnegie medal for it.
Never boil any tea but English-breakfast tea; for all others, simple steeping gives the drink in perfection. A disregard of these rules gives one the rank, black, unpleasant infusion too often offered as tea; while, if boiled in tin, it becomes a species of slow poison, the tannic acid in the tea acting upon the metal, and producing a chemical compound whose character it is hard to determine.
