Do you drink tea?

Yes, but it’s proper tea.

As in, not the kind in tea bags. The kind you pour into the cup, add boiling water to, stir, and serve with virtually no additives, unlike the style consumed by certain people in certain regions who prefer to throw it into the harbor. Or worse—serve it with milk.

Editorial Note: On behalf of the writing and editorial staff, we would like to extend our apologies for Bill’s tone in this response. This is what an entire childhood of tea ceremonies with tourists will do to an impressionable youth. I am certain it was somehow horrifying. —LH
