Making tea for others is appreciated :) Especially in the morning, as the thermoses will keep it hot for hours.
It's the privilege of the person preparing the hot drinks to choose which kind will be made.
Please don't boil more water than you need! It's OK to measure water, as long as only pure water goes in the kettle.
Brewing tea (Janina)
Please economize tea! The used tea in the used dishes shelf can be used again.
Please don't put loose tea directly into the teapots: it generally makes tea taste worse and drinking inconvenient. We have various tea sieves you use.
Please label what's in the thermos. There is a marker pen attached to the wall in the snack kitchen and write directly on the thermos the kind of tea inside.
