So that's why the Americans dumped the tea in Boston Harbor!

I still prefer brewing my tea, but courtesy of an excellent tea store here I stock up on awesome high-quality bagged tea regularly as well :D

And yea, I drink coffee and tea in amounts fit for a true European. My teeth look appropriately European cause of it too :88)

No. I don't like coffee. I'm an American who likes tea. Does that make me a Tory? On the other hand I only drink the cheap stuff I can buy at Wal-Mart.

Oh, and I replied the way I did because I was told by a reliable source that you Brits talk funny.:rotfl:

Have the movies and TV shows got it wrong about you American guys? All I see is you lot drinking coffee, not one drop of tea. :-?

You mean you are a nation of tea drinkers? :huh:

Well, here's where I get weird. I've never liked the taste of coffee, but I love the smell. My mom used to have a timer on her coffee pot. Rather than an alarm clock, we would be awakened by the smell of brewing coffee. I have no idea why the taste turns me off, but it definitely does.
