I drink tea, and many different kinds of it. Herbal tea, black tea, Earl Grey, chai... You name it, I drink it. Sometimes I even have it in the morning instead of coffee.

However, this will change if my problem is not fixed.

I'm talking about this.. this foamy scum that rises to the top of my mug when I drink black tea. It only happens every now and then, but often enough for me to need to write about it. I've taken to rinsing the tea bags before I use them, but it doesn't always work. I also thought it might be the water I'm using, so I even tried bottled water... Again, it usually works, but not always.

Has this ever happened to anyone else, or is it just me? How did you stop it? Is there a way to get rid of it, or am I condemned to scooping foam out of mugs until they're half empty?

My heart is like my coffee. Black, bitter, icy, and with a straw.
