The British (a group of souls of which I am a member!) has BSI BS6008 - a British Standard for making a cup of tea.

And ISO has taken this a step further! Smilie Eric Raymond has this in his Jargon file....

Here's the abstract from the ISO document...
Code:
The method consists in extracting of soluble substances in dried tea leaf, 
containing in a porcelain or earthenware pot, by means of freshly boiling 
water, pouring of the liquor into a white porcelain or earthenware bowl, 
examination of the organoleptic properties of the infused leaf, and of the 
liquor with or without milk or both.

I'm waiting for the ISO standards for using the toilet, walking, and brushing teeth....

Cheers
ZB
