I like coffee because it keeps helps me maintain the perfect level of existential panic and tastes good with vanilla soy milk. Sometimes I drink tea, or, as I like to call it, stewed leaves, because even though tea does not taste as good as coffee, not everyone always wants to hang out with a scary naturally-occurring-amphetamine freak (though apparently some types of stewed leaves have more caffeine in them than coffee, but drinking tea helps my soul feel watery so I don’t believe the experts). Through my socially forced beverage experimentation I have learned that certain packets of stewed leaves taste better than other packets of stewed leaves. Here is an ascending order objective ranking of some of what Peirce has to offer.
6. Decaffeinated Black Tea- What is the point of this? It tastes like bitter water and also does not make you feel happy or smart.
5. Pomegranate Green Tea- I always think this is going to be regular green tea but than am surprised by it’s red flavor and color. Do you add sugar to this? Does green tea need to have fruit in it? Isn’t being boring the whole point of tea?
4. English Teatime Black Tea- This is nice with milk and honey and also sometimes almost tastes as rich and dynamic as coffee. However, I would never choose this tea over coffee.
3. Zen- This tea is invigorating but also has a name bloated with Orientalist Bullshit (OBS).
2. Orange and Spice Herbal Tea- The perfect winter tea. It smells nice and even tastes more like fruit and cloves than dirty water, an unusual attribute for tea.
1. Sweet Dreams- Finally, a tea that’s not pretending to be anything other than a sleep aid. Also, chamomile tea always tastes like a blend of fresh pine floors and fresh cut flowers in a way that is extremely positive.
Lemon Lift is my go-to when I’m feeling down. Badumtish!
LEMON LIFT IS AMAZING
WHAT ABOUT EARL GREY?? and #6 is spot on
This is the 10 o’clock list i have been waiting for my whole life
This is an excellent list, aside from the blasphemous lack of Earl Grey? Also, thoughts on the new Bigelow art design? Anyone? Anyone?
ugh its the worst. I can’t find my faves now :(
#1 TEA IS REGULAR LIPTON BLACK. NO ARGUMENTS. IF YOU USE ANYTHING ELSE YOU ARE PART OF THE BOURGEOISIE. DOWN WITH COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY TEAS.
First of all, thank you, this 10 o’clock list is superb. Second, I am going to start calling tea “stewed leaves” as per your formulation because I quite enjoy the idea. Third, I am deeply disturbed by the lack of Earl Grey on this list. My friends the Earl and Lady Grey would be greatly dismayed by this sad omission.
I LOVE LEAF WATER

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out
pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my
own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Cheers
