Tea
Created | Updated Jan 4, 2006
A History.
Satisfying in the extreme, although one had to be careful whilst sipping the first and last dregs of the cup, or mug, depending on personal preference. The first sip, one must understand, may be extremely hot. The people at Mcdonalds don't put those warnings on the mugs for nothing. The last, on the other hand, may well have been inconceivably cold. In fact, the human mind could not possibly comprehend the icey cold that a simple mug (or cup, as mentioned before) can become. The closest we can come to it is "The Day After Tommorow", wherein helicopters freeze up inside canyons. A silly comparison, due to the sillyness of the film, but it is the closest we can ever be.
Used for centuries for it's medicinal attributes (not actually true) Tea was only first used as a drink by a complete and perfect accident. A begger in china accidently drank some of the stuff, and said, and I quote, "Ugh". He later patented the word, and made millions on the stocks and shares, until he was brought into prison for tax evasion, aged 97. He died soon afterwords, altough Tea did not. More and more people drank Tea, and it became the talk of the century! The Emporer of China decided to export the leaves to other countries, though he never had the time, so left it alone for a while.
Soon after, the British conquered much of the World, and brought Tea with it. The comanders of the british naval fleet wanted to keep Tea to himself and his men, but a short mutiny, wherein 17 were killed, 6 sodomised and 3,907 were sent to bed with no supper, soon sorted that up.
Tea was finally brought back to dear old Blighty, and with it, milk. The two were combined for the first time, and sugar was added (although this, also, is down to personal preferance) to taste. The King could do nought but sigh, as one more thing was better that the British Monarchy.
After that, nothing much happened with Tea. The formula has remained mainly unchanged, despite several alterations in types of milk, though i am not here to discuss milk.
