Heh...see, this is exactly the kind of thing which bemuses me. Even though I find the taste of alcohol more objectionable, I can understand the love of it more, because it is fundamentally an addictive and mind-influencing drug...which is also the main reason I've never tried to acquire a taste for it.
The tea thing baffles me, though! As you might know, I'm studying in China at the mo, which means my buddies and I are missing a lot of Western home comforts, and I know English tea tops the list for a lot of people; one of my friends was actually moved to tears by a cup of English tea he got in a restaurant.
I just can't get my head around this; from all of my experiences drinking tea, it's a fairly bland drink that tastes like leaves in water, which is what it is.
What is it that people get so excited about? To me it seems like becoming obsessed with white bread, or James Blunt.
