Black tea is amazing, you heathen.

^Agreed.

What is builder's tea?

Both black and green (and oolong) teas are great. At the moment I'm on a flavored black tea streak, but I feel a switch back to green teas coming.

I just wish my family was into tea. Most of the time we only have peppermint tea here. I like it, but I want more :/

Builder's tea is just normal tea. I guess black, with milk so that it's an orangey colour with two or three sugars.

If you get twinings tea it's called breakfast, or if you get Tetley or PG Tips is good. Boiled water, not hot water from a tap.

Pretty sure it's a regional thing.

I think 'tea' meaning 'iced tea' is a USAian thing indeed. Over here it used to mean black tea of the English breakfast blend variety, aka 'orange pekoe' (although that exact term usually appears on less bland varieties). What Archaic calls builder's tea I recall from my youth as something for children (to take off the bitterness that happens to tea that's steeped too long). Nowadays so-called 'herbal' teas (i.e. NOT tea) and green tea (again, a blend) are also becoming popular, so the meaning of 'tea' is shifting and broadening a little.

...I like iced tea. Please don't hurt me, garrett!

Enough tea, it's Spooky Time



I'm going to be at work from 6-9, but I plan on putting this along with some other 2SPOOKY4U songs on my phone and hiding it in a random part of the store just letting it play all night.

I serviced a total of around 26 kids today, gave them all sorts of stuff.

Like Reeses. I love those. Giving them away always makes me tear a little on the inside...
