It's the "don't drink tea much" that is surprising!
- throwaheyy 4y agoThey might not drink tea much for having dumped all their kettles into the Boston Harbor back in 1773 or something.
- yamtaddle 4y agoWhat's funny is the people who were mad about it were tea importers, not tea drinkers. British policy on tea in the US [EDIT, er, the American colonies, that is] lowered prices, a lot, which ruined the profit margins of importers/smugglers.
- yamtaddle 4y agoWe drink tons and tons of iced tea, but that's about as easy to make in a large pot on the stove as it is to make with a kettle, and most folks already have a large pot. Plus you can buy large containers of it already made at the grocery store.
