Oh this article makes me want to fetch the stompy boots - Tea Is The New Coffee

Look.  I am a tea snob.  I drink tea in the office since I refuse to drink the swill they call coffee (plus my doctor is a wee tad concerned that my heart will actually explode from the caffeine).  I currently have *counts* nine different kinds of bagged and loose tea here.  I have probably over 30 different kinds at home. 

But here's the thing.  I don't think it's some huge social statement.  I don't drink it to make a point about affordable luxuries and showing off in a minor way.  I drink it because it tastes good and I really like it.  It is soothing to sit there with a perfectly made cuppa.

I actually agree with the whole affordable luxury thing.  I won't actually spend $1,000 on a pair of boots, no matter how desperately I want to.  But I will spend $40 on a few ounces of loose tea from which I can brew several cups.  But, again, I'm not trying to be hip and cool and holier than thou.

This whole personal is political and look how fantastically awesome I am thing really makes me want to go stompy.  It's.  Fucking.  Tea.  Really.  Tea.  That's it.  Get the hell over yourselves.  You're not cooler and hipper and holy hell you didn't discover jack shit.  It's.  Fucking.  Tea.  STFU.

Also get off my lawn.
