It's true that tea "doesn't work" as well as coffee, but coffee doesn't work in a different way: the way where I was up until 3:30am feeling like a maniac after I drank that latte at lunch.
Tea is for nighttime, and should be sleepy-based (chamomile, catnip, skullcap, valerian, kava, peppermint) ONLY
All other tea is bullshit
Yes, 10,000 years of Chinese culture is wrong, dead wrong

But seriously, my tea-rage is directed only at those who have SWITCHED to tea from coffee, not lifelong tea-preferers (like the Chinese and possibly Smelly Meadow). Seriously, once you've had coffee you can't sincerely tell me tea accomplishes the same thing in your life. That is bullroar and scandalous libel and I won't stand for it
Oh I am in Toronto right now but I love this idea, I work in the farthest stretches of the Pearl but don't have to be in until 9a, I am going to try to make this coffee palaver, especially since jet lag will be working in my favor. Tea is nice but COFFEE FOR LYFE!
Delicate and powerful, you must drink many cups and savor the flavor before you zoom away. If you drink it right (MANY CUPS) you will achieve liftoff. With milk and sugar, it is a nectar of the gods. Add a cookie snack, and you're living like a king in the afternoon.
British Peoples drink tea, like, all day long, so it really does accomplish the same thing as coffee. That is a LOT of goddamn caffeine let me tell you! I learned this the hard way doing a home-stay in Scotland when en route to study abroad and being served approx. 85 cups of tea a day that I was too nervous/polite to refuse and then being unable sleep, eat, or speak coherently.
If you want to TRY CLASSIC TEA to be diplomatic or just, you know, enjoy your life, try one of the following- can be consumed black, with splash of milk or soy, dash of sugar or honey, or sometimes with lemon.
ENGLISH BREAKFAST IRISH BREAKFAST DARJEELING ASSAM PG TIPS EARL GREY ORANGE PEKOE LAPSANG SOUCHONG *smoky and deep like whiskey, do not add lemon
waking up early is weird staying up late is not weird coffee - one big cup, once a day, move on with life if it isnt working, something else is broken that more coffee will never fix
maybe I have never had a really good cup of english-style tea? whenever i make english breakfast or whatever, and add milk and honey and lemon, it just tastes like weird warm milk and honey. Not a beverage for a grown-ass woman who is trying to get some motherfucking work done!
Someone make me real english tea and then I will make my decision
I'll make a proper tea for YT- strong brew, kept hot in a pot. Dash of milk and dash of sugar, not honey. Can be hippie organic sugar, but it's SUGAR.
Not very sweet cookie, like a shortbread, or even a just a piece of toast. Since we're hippies, some nice fruit. Chats, second cups, clinking of little spoons, smoothly coasting into the afternoon!
I won't start judging my friends after I'm done judging myself, so you likely have nothing to worry about. But it would help if next time you see me you say politely, "Hey, have you gained a little weight?" Then I'll be more motivated at the gym. Thanks.
everybody looks ok naked! Because it is God's way of all creatures. Swimsuit is like :here, please examine the weirdest parts of my body in super close-up and all squeezed
I feel a little weird about what I said. It kind of came off like I'm a dude I don't worry about such trivialities.
I was thinking after Marc Z. chimed in about how I've never really worried about my swimsuit bod more than my naked bod or just my bod insecurities in general (clothed or not). Like the swimsuit wasn't the focus, just more generally.
I would definitely feel even weirder if I had to deal with the lady side of swimsuits. Andy has a few that are like one piece with a bottom that is more of a boyshort cut. Seems like a good way to go, cause it does seem dumb that there is an expectation for ladies to basically be in their underwear.

this is true
it is the more powerful substance; hence my championing of it and my disbelief that tea works "just as well"
WHEN?
I propose we do it this coming Thursday. But I'm open to another day...
I'm in

I'm pretty psyched about this for no real reason.
Sharky, can you seriously deny this?
OMG
TEA

My mom drinks like 6 cups of tea a day. No sugar, but a splash of milk for sure.
I LOVE TO DRINK TEA WITH MY LDN HOMIES BEFORE OR AFTER A SKATE, OR WITH A FRY-UP, OR JUST WHENEVER.
I drank coca leaf tea in Mexico City. It's the same stuff cocaine is made from! Good for a nice wake up. There are so many cool teas.
That being said, I will probably never give up coffee. I'm drinking one right now!

It's great, because it's very hard to over-steep it. It pretty much never gets bitter. I drink two big cups a day.

Maggie Smith is always slugging milk into somebody's tea in some movie or other
Adding milk to a cup of tea can destroy its ability to protect against heart disease, according to research.
That's the BBC, not a fucking Drudge or Huffington Post link!
If you're looking for health benefits drink that motherfucking fermented OOLONG with nothing added- that is the stuff that's good for your bod.
Proper tea is about taste and pleazure!

His tasted better, but I look better naked.
Are you going to start judging everyone for not being as hot as you?????
I might have to not be friends, 'cause I ain't fit for shit. I had sushi for lunch, but just now a payday bar. DEAL WIT IT!
