I'm skeptical of that. I'm pretty repulsed by tea. I just can't drink it.

There are so many wildly distinctive varieties of tea that it makes little sense to dismiss them all as though they are the same. Darjeeling, Chai, Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Assam - each is as different from the others as snowflakes. The only one I'd advise you to be extremely ware of is Lapsang Souchong, unless your idea of a refreshing hot drink is the contents of an ashtray at a particularly unsuccesful antismiokers meeting dissolved in boiling water. Doesn't matter how much milk and sugar you use, the words 'acquired taste' have never before taken on a more ironically literal meaning.

If your parents drank tea the way mine drink coffee, they drink shitty tea and call it good stuff.
I don't know how I came out with a European stomach from thoroughly American hot-dogs-and-cheap-beer parents.

Well, my parents were too cheap to buy anything substantial, but they always bought what looked like pretty decent tea. They didn't drink Lipton or anything unless they were hard up for a fix.

For me, the only way to win the game is to not play, because I'm lactose intolerant.

I did not expect this thread to take such a sophistocated turn.

I did say it's an acquired taste! Please stop staring at me like that!
