barleycorn Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Good point, well made. I'm guessing that you're igteastic on the issue. Yep, in lieu of a definition I consider 'tea' to be a meaningless concept. God knows what I'm going to do come 'tea-break' time. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namtaB Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was a child once, tea was as at 6pm. But sometimes we didn't have any tea. Tea time is approximately beer o'clock. One eyed Jack comes out to play at cowboy time if one starts smoking t'erb at tea time. I worry about you chem1st. I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm surprised Chem1st hasn't contributed to this thread telling us that proper tea is theft.

perplexed Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If you have some tea, then look at the empty mug (or cup if you're posh), then did the tea ever exist? Can your memory be false? Is tea a collective mirage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 On a trip to China we were taken to a tea plantation. We were shown the various grades of tea and the art of pouring tea by several young ladies who were employed at the plantation. The Chinese claimed that only the green tea they grew was the top of the mark genuine stuff while the black tea was of inferior quality, close to reject status. For my part give me the black tea any day. I drink a cup at breakfast but in the faternoon it's a cuppa Java everytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forumosaurus Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I do like tea but it's one of those things I can never be arsed to make. I mean I don't like cooking food, so cooking a drink is usually out of the question. I will sometimes have a mad craving session and have 10 cups in a day, and then not drink it again for a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, you seem to be confusing this thread with the "Do you like tea?" thread. It's NOT ! (just for the record, I do believe in tea, I love it!)
