I have a dark tea secret

I'm unarguably a tea snob. I have two cupboards at home filled with 30+ different types of teas at any given moment, and I pick and drink a different tea depending on my mood or what I'm eating.



When I was a wee lad, my mum would give me a common tea along with aspirin, ostensibly to assist in the efficaciousness of the analgesic, and I still have, perhaps oddly, good memories of those times.



Now, I find that I *occasionally* enjoy a cup of crappy Lipton tea, milky and sweet (memories and association?). Does this make me a bad person? ;)



Not any worse than myself. In fact I just polished off a cup of Luzianne tea hot with a nice lump of Mount Tai yellow sugar in it a few minutes ago. I can also do Red Rose.

It's like a McDonald's BigMac/Fries or other similar garbage food that still demands attention at times. It's slightly shameful but it just has to be done. I'd imagine we all are hiding a similar dark tea secret.
