You can still use tea bags in a teapot. The idea of putting one in a
cup
is much newer than tea bags themselves, and a disgusting way of making
proper tea.

Well, I get the feeling that anything having to do with tea here in the
'states' hasn't agreed with Brits since we dumped it overboard into the
Boston harbor. ;-)

Now the big kick here is to promote green tea as having healing
capabilities because of the antioxidants in it. As far as I can see,
it'd take at least a gallon of it a day to do any good.

There are more antioxidants in chocolate. Red wine is a good one as
well.

ALSO... HEMP SEEDS! Quite a bit actually. Let's see...

Omega 3, fairly high content, protein, second only in amount to
soy...

Feed the world's hungry masses, I say!

I don't drink either, but I also get the feeling that most 'Merkins
drink coffee and think that tea is for sissies.

Probably a subconscious reaction not too dissimilar to that which
you describe in the first sentence of your response.

Tea is for intelligent folk. More than a cup of coffee a day can do
your body quite a bit of harm. One can drink tea practically
incessantly and see no ill effect... well teeth, maybe.
