Make tea, not war!

On 10 Jul 2003, Max Novi appeared before the congregation in "rec.food.drink.tea" assembled, and proclaimed:

"Tea - the beverage of Peace."

To lean to the left for a minute, instead of dropping bombs on Iraq, perhaps we should have been dropping shipments of tea.

On 14 Jul 2003, tomtom climbed into "rec.food.drink.tea", opened the box of crayons and scribbled the following:

EW! I don't go near Lapsang or "Russian Caravan." Yech. Tea should taste GOOD, not like I left it in the smoke house.

And the cost, instead of nearly bankrupting us, would just be a little steep.

Guys, guys --

Nothing like the lovely smell of the pier to bring back those tarry childhood memories. Love that Russian Caravan.

Oh man...a friend of mine moved away but he never missed the opportunity for a corny pun...*sniffle*.... Love it.

Careful. Let's not strain the budget.

Great Britain made a move from a coffee-based society to a tea-based one, when it sunk in that none of its colonies was a coffee producer -- meaning that every cup of coffee it consumed, was putting money into the pockets of the rival colonial powers.

Had the Empire had some coffee-producing colonies, we quite possibly would have dumped coffee shipments into Boston harbor, and the U.S. would be a tea-drinking nation today.

Personally, I like the way things are now: I can have both, at will.
