9:32 PM - Shinyshark: Jack, on a scale of 1/10, how much do you apreciate tea?
9:32 PM - Malcovent: 9/10
9:32 PM - Malcovent: the 1/10 thats missing is appreciation for the art of teacrafting
9:32 PM - Shinyshark: So it is true...
9:33 PM - Shinyshark: British are overly obsessed with their cup of tea.
9:33 PM - Malcovent: Ofcourse
9:33 PM - Malcovent: our empire was built on tea
9:33 PM - Malcovent: in battles we used to often brew cups of tea for our soldiers
9:33 PM - Malcovent: our tanks, come with equipment to brew a cup of tea
9:33 PM - Shinyshark: Jesus.
9:34 PM - Shinyshark: Do you have an emergency tea-making set in-case of an apocalyptic event?
9:34 PM - Malcovent: sadly not
9:35 PM - Shinyshark: Do you grow tea-leaves in your backyard?
9:36 PM - Shinyshark: Do you have tea parfume?
9:37 PM - Malcovent: no and no.
9:37 PM - Malcovent: last i remember
9:37 PM - Malcovent: tea-leaves require a pretty damns pecial climate to grow in
9:37 PM - Malcovent: not something we can sustain
9:37 PM - Shinyshark: Surely you have this underground cavern where you moderated the temperature, light levels and humidty to be able to grow tea leaves.
9:39 PM - Shinyshark: I'm on to you
9:39 PM - Shinyshark: The british love their tea so much, they give birth to it.
9:39 PM - Malcovent: its so true
9:40 PM - Shinyshark: British people don't get their period, they give birth to a cup of tea. Every porcelain shop has this secret pass phrase that you are being taught at birth. If you say it, you can buy a golden cup with your initials with a small silk suitcase. You have to give birth in that cup, or it is wasted.
9:41 PM - Shinyshark: It's true, admit it.
So, Malcovent won't admit it. We must get to the bottom of this. Post your tea myths or help solve an active tea myth. Don't disappoint me, team.

I have a new lead on the current myth, apparently the tradition was an idea of "Frank Burth", a man who lived in Udensurch, which is a german town. He moved to Great Britain when he was sixteen, had a baby when he was fifteen (because he had so much 'fun' that he went back in time) and eventually the tradition was started by him when he accidentally dropped a bread crumb into his teaspoon which he just dipped into the cup.

The cup turned into solid gold and right there was another smaller cup, with his initials. It's basically a sort of witch craft :giggle:

I'm not British, but I enjoy tea.

Never had coffee, probably never will.

Because tea.
Iced coffee isn't bad actually. But tea > coffee. Also, am I the only one here who drinks either room temp or iced tea always, cause I can't stand warm drinks for some reason? x)
I don't know about that. I think different kinds suit different moods. If it's a hot summer day I'll gladly get a cold can of Arnold Palmer, but if I have a paper to write on a wintery Saturday morning, I can't do without a hot cup of Green Tea.

I may or may not be closet British.
