Tea
Created | Updated Apr 11, 2002
A pale brown watery substance, not to be confused with the letter or the small plastic pointy thing golf balls sit on. Tea is made by soaking the dried up old leaves of one or more plants in hot water. The resultant brown liquid is not mud or even dirty water, but is in fact considered a delicacy by many many people. The use of herbs and other aromatic plants has in recent years resulted in a new form of tea that actually has a recognisable flavour (as opposed to the normal taste of dried leather soaked in water). Some societies (Britain, China etc) place a great deal of importance on tea, making up comlex ceremonies and ancient traditions in a vain effort to render a cup of pale brown water more interesting and apealing. To date, such efforts have had only limited results, although they are more successful than the recently trialed hot pink tea, with a colour requiring sunglasses and a taste redolent of fairy floss.
