Milky or Black

    "Tea is at its best Black.

    The adding of milk is a crime.

    You can only really taste the tea if there is no milk, and no sugar."

    (Marx and Engels, Unpublished page from the Communist Manifesto)

    Black tea is only any good when you have some toxin in need of sweating out. There is nothing better for a hangover.

    But milky! Black tea is like raw garlic; adding milk is like adding garlic to a baguette

    With me it kind of depends on the mood. If I want something to sweeten up the tea even more, I might just add milk. This is not often though.

    Dare we raise the question of whether the milk goes in first or last?
    To drink from a Mug or a Cup?
    Does our tea drinking contribute to the exploitation of tea workers?

    Hahaa! Tea sectarianism.
    Tea drinkers are to beverage drinkers as Trots are to leftism.

    Gotta love sectarianism...

    Fuck black tea. Tea needs milk to taste truly delicious.
    I hereby propose that we purge all black tea-drinkers from the group

    edit: crap that sounded racist

    just move the hyphen to black-tea

    And it is superlative for hangovers

    Manzanilla is neither.

    Therefore neither.

    Manzanilla helps one sleep when they need rest to be well rested for the next day. It's lovely and relaxing.

    Always black tea! Adding of milk is a English colonialist invention!

    I only realised the racism when you said it sounded racist.

    Tea doesn't need milk.
    It's like an onion. Taste great without anything added
