Actually probably here in Japan, too. They like their tea even more than us Brits.

However the brew you brits are drinking is hardly what I would call tea. Yes, there I said it. Put more sugar and milk than the actual tea and there you go: "English tea"
Mmm milk tea is so tasty (because I love milk).

I heard that if you put milk in tea or coffee, the benefits of tea/coffee is blocked out because of the proteins in the milk.

Well one benefit of tea is that it contains virtually no calories but if you add a ton of sugar and milk that doesn't work.

^good thing I don't care about calories at the moment.

^Well then I wouldn't rely on any health benefit from tea. It contains flavonoid which is an antioxydant but whether or not it has any significant effect on human health has not been demonstrated. Probably its effects are negligible.

Tea tastes great and that's all I'm asking for.

That's why i drink coffee black. I need my wake up drug in pure form.

It has an indirect antioxidant effect, and some studies claim that is helps in cancerprevention, despite teh fact that it increases the amount of mutations in a certain gene which is known for leukemia. The antioxidant effect comes about because the flavonoids are digested really fast and lead to an increase in uric acid within permissible parameters, so it doesn't directly cause gout.

Anyway, tea does taste great (well I don't like every blend I came across, but most are nice).

Caffeine is addictive and builds up a dependency. I don't drink anything with caffeine and amusingly I wake up way easier than people who've become dependent on caffeine to wake up. It's getting worse too. It use to be only like 30+ drank coffee, nowadays it's trendy for even kids to drink coffee.

lololitas · « **Reply #8146 on:** October 28, 2013, 05:39:55 PM »

Heck there's people that don't even get enough caffeine with 3 energy drinks+ coffee per day. Personally I can't stand coffee, but I can brew it nicely xD

JoonasTo · « **Reply #8147 on:** October 28, 2013, 05:41:00 PM »

Haha, trendy for teens to drink coffee.
Oh man.

Kids have started drinking coffee here in Finland since they turn twelve or something for like, a hundred years.

Burkingam · « **Reply #8148 on:** October 28, 2013, 05:43:43 PM »

I withdrew from RedBull last month. Withdrawal from caffein aren't that bad. Sleepyness with small occasional headache for a few days and that's it.

Not to mention the kids she is talking about are hipsters who drink mixed weak shit like Cafe latte or Frappuccino and shit like that.

Also what are the withdrawals? I never notice them when I suddenly get periods where I don't drink coffee for weeks.

Season 2 episode 10 of Angel was pretty awesome. It's too bad I know it can't stay down that path, but still... it was pretty enjoyable.

If you boil water with a microwave, you would have to put the container inside and afterward take it out.
Too much work, man.

Just don't do that in front of kid. Or at a romantic dinner. Or in a public place.
Or basically don't ever do that except to amuse yourself.
