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.

Sugar and milk in tea? Blasphemy!
You’re being sarcastic I hope.
Milk and sugar in Irish Breakfast tea is fantastic! I don’t think it is blasphemy because all the Irish could afford for breakfast was cheap tea, a tablespoon for milk and a little bit of sugar.

aren’t i funny and clever!!!
don’t you dare call me a racist!!!
No you’re not racist. Being racist has nothing to do with color but everything to do with being stupid..
I like eating rice, wearing sombreros and money….The glue have me a headache….
What I really hate are white people who shun coffee, but drink tea by the gallon. I’ll only drink tea if I’m in an ethnic restaurant that doesn’t have any coffee, then later make a trip to a Cuban cafetería to grab a condensed shot of #1 on your list.
I might be white and not know it. I like 39 things on this blog so far…and I just ordered six packs of specialty tea from Amazon.com.
as an indian, i love my tea and do take the full 10 to 15 minutes to grind spices to make my morning tea. and yes, it is called chai. and it is made of the orange pekoe tea leaves.
but the white people who scoff at putting milk and sugar in tea… now they are the real problem.
why i ‘scoff at putting milk and sugar in tea’:
i generally dont drink black tea (aka most european & south asian teas), and when you drink asian teas (aka from china or japan) you dont put milk or sugar in the tea, unless you’re a dumb white person, though i guess u could be a dumb person of any color.

Orange Pekoe is just a grade of black tea. There is no orange in it. Chai literally means ‘tea’; spiced Indian tea is called ‘masala chai.’
Real tea snobs are like wine-drinkers, they not only know how tea is made white/green/black/oolong, they are familiar with tea-growing regions and may even buy from specific estates. They might also drink teas in the ‘proper’ regional way: drinking green straight on tatami they installed in their home for just this purpose, or taking 30 minutes to make masala chai from whole spices ground with a mortar and pestle.
It’s a lot like drinking soda, except it takes longer and they can feel cultured.

Crap. I’m so whitified.
Could not be more true. There are at least 20 kinds of tea at my house. I also know several white people who have given tea gift packs too other white people
