Offered tea, I naturally assumed it would be 'normal' tea and when this cuppa foul Earl shite arrived I thought my mums mate hadn't washed the mug out properly and the fruity fragrant taste was actually washing up liquid left in the mug. Being the quiet, shy type as a kid I just sat there and drank the crap whilst swallowing mouthfuls of my own barf in between mouthfuls of the 'orrible tea. Put me off for life.

This story reminds me of my grandfather. I served him Earl Grey once, innocently thinking it was nothing special. Granddad almost spit out his first sip, said it was like drinking perfume, and asked me if I had any "normal" tea. (By which he meant English Breakfast tea, the only kind of tea he ever drank, as it turned out.)

Personally I like almost all kinds of tea, except for a few of the fruity flavours they sell here, which taste far too artificial. (Strawberry! Melon! Yuk.) No milk, of course, unlike you British guys -- when visiting the UK I always have to remember saying "no milk please" when I order tea. And then when it arrives, don't forget to quickly fish out the two or more tea bags, otherwise it will be totally undrinkable!

Tea IMHO is the best drink in the world, currently loving PG Tips.

For me, Tea is an utterly pointless concoction, rather like plain crisps or vanilla ice cream, magnolia paint or diesel engined cars. Just dull and bland with nothing to get excited about.

I have been made aware of the aparant health benefits of drinking various speciality teas, but like running, the benefits do not detract from the fact that they are both intrinsically unpleasant activities.
