    Do we have this here in Turkey?

    As a matter of fact, any brewed plant is referred to as "xxx tea" over here. But just "tea" always means good old cai (Mandarin)/tai (Cantonese).

    Actually, the word tea/chai/te/tai is quite fashinating.

    In England they call it tea in scandinavia te (pronounced somewhat similar) in Egypt they call it /don't know the spelling/ but it sounds like a mix of chai and tea, in Nepal they call it Chai and at Hokkien it is called te

    The word is clearly the same almost everywhere, which I think if cool - not the tea tho, I hate ice tea

    Lapsang Souchong is to Lipton's as espresso is to Folger's. Orders of magnitude stronger, with a lingering smokey taste.

    It makes me think of end-of-the-day campfires after ascending one's favorite Himalyan mountain.
    Really? It makes ME think of bicycle inner tubes and kippers that are several days past their best...

    PG Tips for me. These fancy teas are all very well (I mean ones that actually are tea), but its good old English tea that made Britain great. That's a man's drink.

    It does exist though because I brought a box back from Turkey once, and it seemed to be everywhere there.

    What's Martian tea like?

    Coca tea is very nice. Good for altitude sickness.

    Disguise yourself as a tourist and you´ll get a tea-like fluid tasting of apples everywhere. Of course, by not disguising you probably get a raki everywhere...

    Mrs ichi doesnt allow me to drink coffee around the house, only tea with honey in it. When she's not looking I go to Starbucks and get a latte with lots of sugar. She says coffee makes me too 'intense'

    Apparently tea is good for a person, so is the honey.

    That's the stuff if you want a real strong coffee.
    Btw, Espresso is the one with the lowest amount of caffeine, iirc.

    Might be a language or cultural problem here, but Ouzo is an aniseed based drink ...think 'Pernod, Ricard, Sambuca'....whereas Raki/Chipero is a distilled spirit made from cheap wine and rubbish grapes...and like I said...

    it's FREE FREE FREE

    Careful though if you're on holiday and don't drink the real stuff
    for some weeks. The first cup after returning may cause your heart
