I really do think tea is an acquired taste. Going back to the beginning of this year, unadulterated green tea made me feel physically ill whenever I drank it. I only perservered with it because I've been trying to reduce the amount of carbonated drinks I tip down my throat. Living in England, Tea is something you just learn to drink. Although it's not ceremonialized like it is in China, it's still a big part of the culture.



i've forced myself to adapt to beers in the past few months. i now order drafts in pubs and such. i should probably give tea the same chance.

He made a good point, which is that, in England, people are always offering you tea and it becomes like a constant sales pitch. It's offered up as a remedy for anything from cancer to divorce - "What you need is a good hot cup of tea."



in the states, i'd say that coffee and beer have done the same thing, simply depending upon circumstance. divorce? thats beer. rough day? thats coffee.

coffee is something else that i always wish that i enjoyed. i love the smell, but the taste just idn't for me. however... everyone offers coffee! its free and, apparently, wonderful. i like to take advantage of free offers.
