Awww quote the entire sentence then, have some irony for crying out loud.
Re: Tea!
I drink a double espresso coffee in the morning, with milk. I need the extra kick it offers, as I'm an old man and my engine takes stronger fuel to rev up.
I drink Bigelow Constant Comment (English-style tea with Orange rind, my Dutch/Irish grandmother's favorite, which hence became one of mine), or Earl Gray in the afternoons, or sometimes Jasmine if I want something lighter, flowery and sweet.
At night I drink a big mug of Japanese green tea, usually just some cheap Genmai (brown rice) cha. Great antioxidants, and it reminds me of my Japanese mum.
Edit: I neglected to mention that on special occasions I'll pull out my stash of East-Indian-style Chai, loaded with interesting spices. I boil it in water, reduce to a simmer for a while to bring out all the subtle flavors, and then add some honey and about a third as much whole milk (the most common ratio is half and half, but I like a stronger chai flavor). I really enjoy Chai.

Be intent on loyalty
While others aspire to perform meritorious services
Concentrate on purity of intent
While those around you are beset by egoism

I prefer a nice cup of Ceylon, or perhaps Assam if it is in the evening.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Thea!
A full cafettiere of extra strength black coffee - always handy, if not a pint of espresso. Of course, no sugar or milk - that's just silly.
Tea on the other hand - Indian, take a dash of milk, or maybe a slice of lemon (depending on how I'm feeling). Chinese - well, as is of course.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: Thea!
I like a cup of tetleys, with a bit of milk in it. And i love how the Americans have half a billion different types of tea. My parents went to San Francisco, and when they ordered tea, they had to go through an entire page of paper looking for normal tea, which was under the label of 'breakfast tea'.
