Storm in a Tea Cup

Storm in a Tea Cup
Cup or Straw? 
I have one big reservation about "Tea Drinking off a Straw".
When one drink any beverage through a straw it bypasses the, tip of the tongue, lips and anterior of the mouth where there are abundance of various  taste buds.

The distribution of the taste buds are varied and different and one loses the meaning of taste when one drinks from a straw.

It stimulates the back of the throat where the distribution of taste buds are less in number and in diminishing intensity to detect.

I often pour the contents of the cartoon into a cup and sip the tea which gives me a chance to better appreciate the quality of the TEA.

So use a CUP instead of a STRAW.

This is something "Heladive TEA" should investigate.
That is why I give the "Essence of Heladive Tea" as a GIFT, to my friends who come from abroad rather than the Tea in a Cartoon.
