I drink tea because coffee makes me fear the shadows.

Bag tea. I leave the bag in. Sometimes I refill the cup with hot water once I'm done, to get a second use out of the bag.

Yes! Me too. Why waste? Sometimes it is good for three.

Coffee is high energy swill - tea is a refined boost, subtle in its consideration and pleasingly aromatic.

Tea is generally better with some form of milk, but I won't hold drinking black tea against anyone - so long as it isn't "flavoured" and absolutely under no circumstances comes in a teabag.

Green tea is really only to be consumed when one is sick.
Iced tea is, of course, an unconscionable abomination. Mushroom tea is apparently quite enjoyable, just don't pound down the semi-fermented dregs of a batch on your first time trying the stuff.

I find tea (particularily pu erh tea) tonifying. Tasty and mellow, I feel more awake but at ease, after a fashion. It gives you a certain wakeful peace of mind

A double espresso is like a rush of energy. It is bittee (but you learn to love it), and it fades fast, but it gives you a huge burst of energy

Remember that "Asian tea culture" also includes India, even though masala chai is only nominally related to tea.

Tea is nice, and so is coffee.

Personally, I am partial to really good hot chocolate.  Nobody seems to know how to make it right besides for me though. (sad)  All that swill on the market, daring to suggest you can make it with.... Hot water... UGH.


No no.. You need fine dark semisweet chocolate, scalded milk, whipped cream, and vanilla extract. (the real thing. None of that fake vanillin shit.)  Pure ambrosia in a cup.  All my residents rave about my fabulous hot chocolate.

And if you put both in the same cup... Oh boy.

To quote a random advertisement from ages past, "two great things that go great together."

I've gotten into a kick of boiling strawberries with a bit of sugar, eating them, and pouring the rest into my black teas. It tastes like summer, even when it's colder than hel.

I knew I liked you. Also you and that other person helped with hipaa, huh? Thank you.

You try drinking hot tea when it's 40C all day long.

It actually kinda' works out. The hot drink makes the ambient temperature feel less noticeable. I've done hot chocolate in the middle of florida summer pretty cheerfully a few times over the years. Fairly refreshing, all things considered.

Ever had hot chocolate with a dash of cayenne powder? Pseudo-Aztec style.

Ever had double fudge brownies made with habanero pepper extract?

(Last time I made it, it was to get vengeance against a neighbor kid who ruined my 12th birthday by sneaking into the house and demolishing the cake with is bare hands and breaking 2 kitchen shelves, and about 20 jars of mom's spaghetti sauce... but still, it DID come out really good.  Takes perfectly normal for about 3 to 5 seconds, then WHAMMO! I might make them again some time.)

The Hell kinda neighbors did you grow up with? Kid deserved a double fudge bullet with hasswhuppin extract.
