Did you hear of the Indian Chief who used to drink 200 cups of tea a day?

He did in his own teepee.

“Thin to sip?”

If your tea is thick, you have probably used something else than water to make it.

Like a mate of mine. His little daughter was bringing him cups of pretend tea, with her toy tea-set, which he was duly drinking.

Then the thought crossed his mind….Hang on she is too short to reach the taps.

Well. Actually. She was! 😳

What a complicated way of saying: “this tea stinks”.

TEA;
I drink it when I am happy, I sip it when I am sad, I have a pick-me-up cup when I am tired, I have a refreshing cup when it is too hot, I have a warming cup when it is too cold, I have a celebratory cup when I have won, I have a consoling cup when I have lost, I enjoy a cup before and after a meal, I share an intimate cup with my lady after lovemaking.

Other than that, Tea! I never touch it.

The color and luster is dark and moist. Dark, I understand. But neither moist color nor moist luster makes sense.

This is a kind of a weird coincidence but this morning at work my mother accidentally knocked over a big cup full of green tea and spilled it all over the place and onto herself. She told me all about it when we went out for lunch, and said if she smelled like tea that was the reason, but she smelled okay to me. 🙂
