More on the tea strainer

by - 12:46 on 16 February 2007

I didn’t think this topic would surface again, but thanks to the 8th February entry (the first-ever) and my comments on how seeing a tea strainer in a café is usually a good sign, the Glen Moray Distillery contacted us. They said that, after reading my aside about people drinking soggy paper, their cafe would be changing to real tea immediately. Gosh.

And, furthermore, they have. We checked it out. So not only do you get a fine fresh selection of soups, sandwiches and yummy cakes, but a decent pot of tea now as well. (Their coffee is also excellent.) And, yes, it qualifies as an extra mile. Our thanks to Iain Allan, who looks after the visitor centre, and Meg, whose job now involves an environmentally friendly way of disposing of used tea-leaves. Personally, we use them as garden mulch. Railway modellers dry them, dye them green and stick them to bits of wire to make wee trees. (Honest. Please don’t ask how I know this. I was only a boy.)
