The fate of a cup of tea left idle in a semi-detached Betoota Heights granny flat could’ve gone either way this morning after the person who brewed it faced a common dilemma.
Is the tea worth drinking, now that it’s only a few degrees above room temperature – or should she just throw it down the sink.
In the interests of saving the environment and sustainability in general, Cassandra Rogers elected to slam it down like the big warm shot of heaven it was.
“I just needed something in my stomach,” she told our reporter on the bus home this afternoon.
“The sun hadn’t come up yet and it was still colder than cheap jumper in Glen Innes. I tell you what, it was a Twinnings as well. I wasn’t about to let that go to waste. It’s the Rolls-Royce of teas,”
“I usually indulge in a cup of Merril J. Fernando’s best each morning but the Twinings Lap Souchong was on special. Couldn’t walk past it without popping it my little cart. Dilmah is great, Merril is a great tea master but Lap Sou [sic] is my favourite smokey cup of goodness. I trust he understands.”
The remarkably shy Gemini then said she’d been talking about her tea habits to a complete stranger on the bus for too long – then put her headphones in and completely ignored our reporter for the rest of the journey up the hill.
More to come.
