You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis


tea goes hand in hand with literature
 
Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."
"Nobody asked your opinion," said Alice.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

decadence ... sinful decadence, I do enjoy a good tea party
 
A long time ago in a country far far away before homogenized milk my granddad always had first dibs on the milk bottle so he could have cream in his tea. The kids got the milk below.
 
“I don't want tea," said Clary, with muffled force. "I want to find my mother. And then I want to find out who took her in the first place, and I want to kill them."
"Unfortunately," said Hodge, "we're all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it's either tea or nothing.”

― Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

Many, many times in life it's either tea or nothing.

But tea is something.
 
This is Brewtopia

I've not seen any of these tea commercials, Rom. They're really fun.

Although, so far, I like Brewtopia the best.

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”

Today was a cloudy, rainy day. For some reason I always crave Earl Grey tea when the weather is such.
I wonder if you guys have a preferred tea depending on the weather or your mood.
 
I almost always drink variations on black tea. A lunch place nearby has a great tea bar, and offers pu-erh tea (which is a fermented dark). It's very different depending on where it comes from, but is usually very earthy and malty at its base.

Occasionally, mostly in the evenings, I'll choose the Earl.

Very, very occasionally, it will be green or even an herbal tea.

Yawkshaw (to pronounce it proper) is God's Own County so only makes sense to be a tea utopian society. My tea expert, my mum, was a from Hessle. Which proves my point.

Which is why you should use a teapot with square bags and no silly strings attached.
