It is a known fact that white people consume, on average 25 different teas in a given year.
Back in the old days, white people would go all over the world to get teas from places like India and Sri Lanka. They were pretty into it and all of a sudden white people are into tea. But as we moved forward, white people were like “man, one kind of tea is not enough, we need more.”
And now people are into Green Tea, Chamomile, Chai, White Tea, Red Tea, Jasmine Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea, Orange Pekoe, and other specialty blends. They are even opening stores and websites devoted to sending white people all sorts of tea.
If you find yourself in a situation with a white person, acceptable things to say include “I’m really into tea right now,” or “my favorite thing is to get a nice cup of tea and curl up in a chair with a good book.” But do not remind them about the role of colonialism in tea, it will make them feel sad.

well i like tea. i’m guilty. but i’ve been that way my whole life, it’s how my [English] culture is. *not including the people who are allergic to tea or the very rare ones who don’t like it* telling an English person to stop drinking tea cos it’s too white is like (well i think) telling an Asian person that noodles are now off limits
:/
but most American teas in the little packet things do suck so if someone likes that just to be cool, their weird.
Yes. Yes, it does.
I think tea and coffee are gross. I prefer red bull and monster…and if I’m feeling retro, jolt cola. does that make me the “wrong type of white person”? LOL
