    Is it really that unusual to ask for a cup of green tea?

      Well green tea you get, but if you've popped round to someone's house, it probably isn't on offer. You might be able to get Earl Grey or something.

        Well, if you just for tea here, it will default to black. I haven't been asked for the color, and if I want something other than black tea, I will ask what teas they have.
        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          No milk? Please tell me you don't do something terrible like put a slice of lemon in it

            Though the Southern stuff isn't even tea. More like tea-flavored sugar.
            That comment would make more sense if sweet tea wasn't a liquid.

                What is it with this green tea obsession?

                  It's healthy.

                  It's also tasty.

                    I hate tea. But I hate sweet tea slightly less than normal tea.

                        Pop round my house and there's nothing on offer. Or rather, the box of tea I have in my house has only ever been used by you.

                            I drink hot tea too, but when it gets to be eighty degrees (Fahrenheit, that is), it's just not pleasant to drink anything hot. I generally drink black only, steeped for ages, straight up with no cream, sugar, lemon or whatever. I'll do stuff like Earl/Lady Grey or other flavored teas from time to time. I don't consider Rooibos or herbal tisanes to be "tea" any more than carob is chocolate. I feel somewhat strongly about it after all the times I've been offered tea, accepted, and been given a choice between two different kinds of potpourri-water. Camellia sinensis, aka "the tea plant," you turds! It'd be so much easier if I liked coffee.

                            As for green tea, that's at least the right plant, but it tastes like lawn clippings to me so I shun it. If you like it, more power to you. Oh, and while I'm being cranky: Click image for larger version

                              Yeah, coffee...well I tend to drink coffee when I am on the continent and tea when I am in Old Blighty...you just can't get a decent cuppa elsewhere With loads of milk too.

                                Depends. Most of it is loaded with sugar.
