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.

Sarah R. you are just a graham cracker, you may be brown but you are still a cracker.
I’m black and drink green tea everyday (which i sweeten with raw organic agave nectar). People from every continent drink various types of tea and have been drinking it for a very long time. It doesn’t make you special or anything, but it does benefit your health.
You must know the right kind of white people, for only they would have introduced agave to you. The wrong kind of white people use processed white suger, which of course inflames the guilt of the right kind of white people because of the exploitation of the poor South Americans and Indians who grow and harvest it.
omg! I am a Sarah R. too! And I like tea! Seeing your name here just made my day!
Chai FTW!

Gotta have that tea. Chamomile, chai, green and when I’m feeling really wild a fully caffienated lipton bag. Of course not only white peeps love tea.
I drink tea sometimes. It’s warm and easier to make than hot chocolate.
No its not…

The Chinese were the first to drink tea, although colonialism is what brought tea to India (the British figured it would be more profitable to grow their own). And Indian tea is what most Americans and Europeans drink–many people are surprised to find that Chinese black teas usually lack the bitterness and strength of Indian and Sri Lankan black teas.
I think it would be entirely fair to say that white people love white tea. This white guy does, anyway.
hopefully the joke is that white americans will pay wayyy too much money for tea (and coffee, ·1) and not that drinking these drinks makes them queer, elitist, or unique. go to china or india or england or many parts of africa and you cant get away from the shitty leaf drink. go to just about any place in latin america and you cannot go 10 minutes without being offered a up of coffee.
Black tea is not a specialty; it is “default” tea used by every restaurant and not-big-into-tea drinker’s houses. Lipton etc.
