I drink tea. I prefer it over coffee. I blame the church for my choice. When I was old enough to approach the coffee pot at church without being shooed away, I poured myself a cup of coffee and instantly hated it. Then I went to the tea pot, poured myself a cup and liked it. Years later I learned that the church just made bad coffee, but my tastes were set to tea by then. Later in life I married an English lady and we have more boxes of tea than bags of coffee in our house. So, while I sip my tea here is a bit of tea wisdom:
I once had a job in a tea shop, but I quit when I thought something was brewing.
There’s a trendy new tea shop in town. I don’t know – it fills me with uncertain tea.
I drink tea everyday to achieve inner tranquili-tea.
Tea fixes everything.
Did you hear that the hipster burned his mouth drinking tea? yup, he drank it before it was cool.
We have a special tea here in the desert for windy days. We call it dust-tea.
Okay, these jokes aren’t my best quali-tea.
When making your morning tea did you ever get that sense of deja brew?
Just went to the cafe and found out that the price of tea is steep.
I would walk a chamomile for a cup of tea.
Moses drinks tea – Hebrews it.
The most difficult tea to drink is reality.

Though these are all good, my favorite part of this post is “Years later I learned that the church just made bad coffee.” Haha!

I’ve been telling churches for decades that better coffee leads to higher membership.

I drink a couple of cups of coffee in the morning and then switch to tea for the rest of the day. I love tea. I love the different flavors that you can get it in and just plain ole’ tea and everything in between. About a year ago, I bought a sampler pack on amazon from a company called “Harney & Sons” in the USA. It was full of the most wonderful, flavorful tea I have ever experienced. I have since become a customer and order from the States even though I am here in Canada. It is so worth it. Even the decaf tea (which I like after supper) has lots of flavor – unlike those brands with the pretty boxes where the decaf tastes like dishwater. It is really good stuff and I highly recommend it. I like loose-leaf tea best. I enjoyed the jokes. Have a wonderful week! 🙂

My wife mostly drinks tea, but has exactly one cup of coffee mid-morning. We’ll go out to a fancy coffee shop for an expensive latte once a week.

It’s funny that church gave you your first taste of coffee – that’s where I tried my first cup of coffee as
kid, too. Uh-oh. It looks as though churches are the gateway to caffeine addiction! (Although it didn’t work too well with me – I rarely drink coffee.)
Loved your jokes, especially the hipster one. It almost made me snort my tea. 😉

Well, I think that the jokes are up to the usual qualitea. I prefer coffee, but I am trying to learn to like tea because my wife and daughter are continually drinking it, but only peppermint or Earl Grey That I cannot stand. Did you know that Tibetans drink their tea with a knob of butter?

Uncertain tea (shudder). Love the church story origin of your love of tea. As much as I prefer coffee, your own preference makes perfect sense. Whoever went to church and said afterward, “great coffee!”?

Well, at my last church the “real” coffee drinkers went somewhere else for their after church coffee. Here in Reno, there’s a wonderful coffee shop right across from the church that makes an outstanding cafe mocha. Yup, I go out the front door and right across the street to contemplate the sermon over a nice cup.
