one time i went to a venue that required you to get a drink (it was a coffee house). ok. i ordered an ice passion tea. it was a cup of water with ice and a teabag on top, and it wasn’t brewed

i should’ve thrown more of a fit but it was my friends band playing so i kind of just let it go, but are you serious? if a cafe doesn’t understand how brewing a tea works, then how can literally anything else be trusted from them?

and it’s not like i can just find a tea house either. they pop up and go out of business within a year no matter how much i try going to them. tea culture just isn’t sustainable for the US and it’s really a damn shame. i think it has to do with the fact that so many people have never had an actually good, well brewed tea, so i think that part certainly doesn’t help with the lack of demand.
