Entry: Tea - Theta Mandel

Tea is an absolutely heavenly drink made from plant matter and hot water (though, in recent years, a fad has developed of having the drink cold). There is an association between England and Tea, and Coffee and America. Something about national pride, allegedly—the Americans threw all their tea into the sea in protest of England, and never looked back. Though, anyone can see that coffee doesn’t hold a candle to a delicious oolong, especially when those ‘candles’ are run by some rather sketchy figures who act more like soldiers than baristas… but that’s just my opinion. Sips tea.
