P.S. We figured out tea

We just had to overcome our tea kettle snobbery. Three minutes in a microwave, one bag per cup makes a nice, flavorful cup. :-)

(Incidentally, Jason also found that if you follow the British ritual of pre-heating a tea pot with boiling water, then steeping twice as much tea as you use at sea level, that also works. Haven't attempted baking anything yet.)
