A Duke never, SLURPS his tea, 
but sips it, sampling it with the tip of his tongue, 
letting the aroma of the subtle tea leaves dance within his nostrils. 
The dark brown liquid swirling in the elegant china (Dregwood or Limoges), 
pinkies out and a saucer thereafter...
Drinking tea is an art that only the aristocracy must indulge in,
 however it has bee vulagrized by the masses (slurping tea with cookies) 
Graciousness has fallen!!!
