Working in a tea shop would stress me out because even at home I have no idea how some days I can make a perfect cup of tea and the next couple of days I make some rancid approximation of tea

i went in to a fancy-looking coffee cafe in vancouver once and asked for an affogato because it was really hot that day and the woman serving didn’t know what it was, so i told her and she had never of it before and for some reason couldn’t make it even though they had both ice cream and coffee so i just had a regular coffee. anyway on the way out she asked me to write down the name of it for her because she wanted to start making it.

i like to imagine it started selling like crazy and her business is a roaring success now because of me but who knows

I used to meet my work colleagues for a ‘fruit medley’ at 10am in the kitchen. We’d just stand in the kitchen and eat sliced up apples for ten minutes, think we had it in our calendars.

I worked in a tea shop and I learned that people have bad taste in tea.

i had first just written ‘cafe’ but wanted to emphasise that this was the kind of place that had like 30 different ways of making a coffee, not just like a greasy spoon or whatever

coffee shop didn’t sound right though

‘Would you like to try a beautiful tea that, based on what you’ve told me you’d like, I have selected for you personally? No, you want the powdery English Breakfast (still nice, but you’ve come for a special occasion)? Okay, fine.’

Like, not really judging these people because I know the tyranny of choice, but mate, so many nice teas! So many!

I once met someone for tea and it was coconut flavoured and contained no milk.

If I met someone for tea today I’d probably order a lilt. Might not be in the spirit of things though.

It’s your special day so I won’t be rude but the only correct thing there is the brand

all I’ve got to contribute here is that people who have milk in tea are weird.

Thinking of how tea is branded in this country - We are absolutely desperate to claim tea aren’t we. Yorkshire tea, Dorset tea, English Breakfast, Whitards of Chelsea etc etc

This is from Dorset Tea’s website

75 years later in 2009 Dorset Tea™ was created to celebrate Keith’s work and Dorset’s natural beauty and sunshine which goes into every cup today; that’s why we call our black tea, our Sunshine Blend.

You’d be forgiven for thinking they grow it here, but no. India, Kenya and Rwanda. It’s not even packaged in Dorset anymore, what the fuck?
