I think tea people are too boring.Im more of a tea person than a coffee conoisseur...coffee people are way too jumpy.
Tea is refreshing, but coffee I never really got the whole I MUST HAVE COFFEE or I die vibe.

I like to keep them guessingI do it all... even cheerleading for my friends if they need it lol. To be honest i don't spend a lot of time looking at myself and trying to find something i identify with, i just let everyone who knows me do all of that.
"Tea is the thinking man's coffee."I think tea people are too boring.
"You said this is earl grey. I could swear it's darjeeling.""Tea, Earl Grey, Hot..."![]()

what can I say, my ancestors were from ChinaIt's a cultural thing.
South America and Mexico have been pumping out coffee for hundreds of years now. Where India, Indonesia, and Africa have been growing coffee. They have been growing tea more.
Warm, tropical climates high in the mountains. Anything below 1600 ft high and it's junk.
The same thing for coffee.
Earl Grey has oil of Bergamot in it....dunno what that's about exactly...but those who like it swear by it.
Same thing with coffee...it's a cultural gathering point.
Bergamot is a fruit, perhaps a hybrid of lemon and bitter orange. It's too floral for me as a tea. Well, a lot of what is called tea isn't really tea any waysEarl Grey has oil of Bergamot in it....dunno what that's about exactly...but those who like it swear by it.
My son's a bit of a weirdo. Takes after his mother!![]()
Job sharing works for me Ruby because I am semi-retired. Of course, God might have other plans for me in heaven regarding me being semi-retired and just working part-time.. I believe that there will be an endless amount of different work positions in heaven.If there is a coffee tasting position in heaven Tourist, maybe we can job share. Two part time positions lol.
Actually, on several occasions, you've called me The Worst thing anyone could call a nerd.
You called me - A Normal Person.
I am many things.
But Normal is not one of them.
One only has to read my posts as proof.![]()
I no longer qualify as a tea drinker. In my late teens and early twenties, I drank a lot of tea, as well as herbal infusions, but tea itself started giving me stomach cramps from the tannins, so that was it for tea all the time. When I first came out west, I was introduced to Constant Comment, which was created to make a more flavorful tea by adding cloves, cinnamon, and dried orange peel to black tea. Now that was tasty! Celestial Seasonings' zinger teas are similar, without the actual tea; lemon zinger has rosehips, roasted chicory, orange peel, and lemon peel, plus dried whole lemons blended with hibiscus and lemon grass, the latter two (or three?) which flavor all their zinger teas. Now I am more partial to Stash tea, especially their licorice spice, and Traditional Medicinal Tea, again, especially those with licorice, because they promote respiratory healthI also like "Lemon Zingers"![]()
Egypt has a pomegranate tea that is nice as well.I no longer qualify as a tea drinker.
