TYPES OF TEA

...remember that ever faithful friend or relation that offers you a nice cuppa tea, only to give you a steaming brew of some strange sensation obscure to these British shores. Oh dear. Quite often it has been my misfortune to sup and finding out too late that I have been visited by the Mint Monster... that light green pungent pretender to the Tea Throne. And then I get taken over, my skin goes green and I begin to croak, i'm gasping for some regular Tea as an antedote to this travesty. Will I live? NO. Not without the pleasant aroma of regular Tea.

But its not just mint Tea that is fighting its way into Teacups around the globe. Theres a plethora of ghastly concoctions that, however beneficial they may be, can't really be thought of as producing a nice cup of Tea. I mean, they surely cannot be serious!

No. Really.

I dont wish to upset you, but heres a short collection of some of the called Tea-names I have tasted and then beaten a hasty retreat, retired hurt. If you see any of these, shoot on sight. Surely the taste of raw sewage.
