    Clearly tea is the harder stuff, given that the british entered war with China several times for it

      Yeah, we gained control over the opium trade but the secrets of tea were much more closely guarded.

      Rumor has it that the British started the Opium Wars to get back at the Chinese for giving them such an addictive substance, their tea.

      Uncle Iroh is the evolution we should all aspire to.

    Coffee gives me horrible stomach aches and tea brewing can be relaxing.

    I think there’s a tea strong enough to kill you but I don’t remember it’s name.

      Almost sounds like a joke

      “I think there’s a tea strong enough to kill you or wipe your memory, but I don’t remember its name”

      Hemlock? The stuff they supposedly used to execute Socrates? Literally a poisonous plant… not a typical “tea” but it has been used for execution in the ancient world via steeping it in hot water and “drinking the hemlock.”
