Tea.

Pfft Earl Grey pales in comparison to good old Jasmine.

Awh man. There's a restaurant chain here in the UK called Wagamamma's, centered around various Asian cuisines. And they do Jasmine tea - literally, take the flower, place it in hot water, and serve it to you. You can watch the flower "bloom" as it heats up in the water as the tea slowly blooms. It's awesome and delicious and now I have cravings. Curse you.

The one thing I smuggled back with me from China was two boxes of tea and one of them was Jasmine. It's something I indulge in every now and then.

Now I have cravings.

You're killing me here. Literally all I have right now is ordinary tea. Maybe one or two packets of chai. And ordinarily, I'd warn against smuggling over the Chinese border, but for Jasmine tea it's undoubtedly worth it. I'm curious now, though - were you just there on holiday or..?

... so you never drink tea just... like... by putting a bag and a bit of milk in hot water and brewing it? That is so goddamn alien to me. My grandmother's staying with us right now and we genuinely go through about 1.5-2 pints of milk a day just on tea, between 4 of us.

My grandmother's the one that got me hooked on sweet tea. But yeah, I've never just had tea like putting a bag in a cup and shit. One day I will. Hell, up North they don't even have tea like we do in the south. At least in fast food places and restaurants. In the south, it's all about that sweet tea.
