Drink some tea you unsophisticated wanker.

From wikipedia
Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring boiling hot water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The term also refers to the plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many people enjoy.
 
Consumption of tea (especially green) is beneficial to health and longevity given its significant antioxidant, flavanols, flavonoids, and polyphenols content.
 
Consumption of green tea is associated with a lower risk of diseases that cause functional disability, such as “stroke, cognitive impairment, and osteoporosis” in the elderly.
 
Tea contains L-theanine, and its consumption is strongly associated with a calm but alert and focused, relatively productive (alpha wave dominant), mental state in humans. This mental state is also common to meditative practice.
 
The phrase herbal tea usually refers to infusions of fruit or herbs made without the tea plant, such as rosehip tea or chamomile tea. Alternative phrases for this are tisane or herbal infusion, both bearing an implied contrast with "tea" as it is construed here.


Tea is my favourite hot drink of all time. According to wikipedia, more people drink this than any other drink other than water (duhh because everyone drinks loving water)

Tea comes in many different forms, from loose tea to tea bags. The tea most commonly drank is made in different orders, but contains the same items.

Here is a step by step guide on how to make this glorious stuff using a teabag

1. Put water in a kettle and boil it.

2. Put a teabag into a cup.

3. Pour the boiling water into the cup. (You can stir and press the bag against the side to get more flavour)

4. Use a teaspoon to remove the teabag and put it in the bin.

5. Pour in milk until you deem fit.

6. Stir the tea.

7. Use a teaspoon to put in sugar (Cubes or teaspoons of sugar are fine)

8. Stir.

9. Geddit down yer neck sonny jim.

Here are some pictures of tea.

I dislike tea and coffee.
But my parents enjoy it, so I often make it for them.

Interestingly (or not), I do the order of my tea-production differently to you.
My order goes:

1 - Put Water in Kettle to Boil
2 - While water boils, put milk in cup
3 - Add sugar into cup while water boils
4 - Add tea-bag into cup while water boils (If you're boiling water for just one cup it should be ready by now)
5 - Pour water into cup
6 - Stir tea and press tea-bag with spoon to release flavour
7 - Serve and Drink.

The same method is done with instant-coffee, where coffee is added at Step 4 and it's just stirred at Step 6.
I use my method because while the kettle boils it gives you time to prepare the tea. Get's the job done quicker.

All that tea looks like sewage.

Chai tea is best tea.

American way of preparing tea:

1 - Microwave tap water
2 - Put in tea bag
3 - Stir it with a god damn knife because somebody used up all the spoons
4 - Spill it on wool carpet and leg
5 - Suffer first degree burns
6 - Be hospitalized for six to ten days because you slipped and hit your head on hard-plastic countertops
