coffee versus tea people

OK, I'm in.

Tea comes from God, who, in his infinite wisdom, supplied it so we can better know him. Coffee comes from the Devil, fallen out of heaven, and dedicated to preventing our salvation. Think on this seriously. Those who truly believe will not drink coffee.

Hope this helps clarify.

Yes? Michael

That's why coffee can be so good and why it takes its deliciousness from the fire...

Oh no, tea's taste as boring as Lourdes water. And we'd all have to look for another vice.

About the *God* that is said to bring tea in Chinese litterature, my Japanese teacher told me that was a sort if wizard, a guy talking to the gods to steal them a few magical secrets... That will be explained in a future episode of Harry Potter.

Some damned fairy, I suppose? Michael

BUT, I bet they don't drink that "kopi luwak" coffee that has been excreted by civets. Because that isn't vegan, right?

I thought it was a bean soup?

Or a fruit soup, only hotter than usual.

Well, the ones I had in mind tend not to be vegans: there's a heck lot of coffee drunk in south India (almost always with milk), and a heck of a lot of vegetarians, with substantial overlap between these populations.

N., mmm, bean soup

You guys absolutely disgust me! That's probably why I like you. Cheers, Michael
