The Perfect Cup of Tea

Over the past few years I have made hundreds of teas for my father. Getting the perfect cup of tea is a real challenge. Maybe only once of twice have I gotten it right with the first try. It takes usually a series of improvements to get to the right temperature, sweetness level, and flavor. Sometimes you mess it up real bad and have to start again.. and sometimes my father will just drink it.. but you know and feel bad that it's not the ultimate tea.

I have made all varieties.. many different flavors and spices.. pineapple, rum, peach, apple, mint, yellow tea, earl grey, passion fruit, tchai, vanilla, standard, Lipton, caramel, lemon grass, rose leaves, with cinnamon, ginger, orange/lemon/lime wedges..,

But it doesn't really make much of a difference what you put in.
The secret for the perfect tea is:
my 100% pure intention to make the perfect cup of tea and my father's 100% readiness of accepting the perfect cup of tea.
