Gentlemen's Tea Club , men and tea

We have not taken over just requested a place to sit and enjoy the secrets of tea.

I do not drink tea in place of liquor, but I do drink it in place of coffee. I have never been a coffee drinker, I find the taste to be very acidic. But I guess the same qualities do draw me to tea, as I have heard about coffee.
I like caffeine
I like the variety
I notice the subtle differences
I like some of the snobbery
And it just plain tastes better to me than any other hot caffeinated beverage, this is likely the number one reason.

HA HA! It’s so good.

I can’t honestly defend myself because I lose all my masculinity when it comes to tea. But I have just never liked coffee (other than the smell, it’s so misleading), and I have never been much for alcohol (I’d say I was a teetotaller [or should I say teatotaller?], but I have nothing against trying new drinks. I just rarely finish them/go in for a second sip). And I love looking clean and professional while sitting in a tea shop (I have a friend from the UK who says that I am “already British” in regards to the fact that I was thinking of signing up for a studies abroad program to Wales).

Thought the men of Steepster would enjoy this all-male tea party and the attached recipes. :D

When you say “Gentlemen’s tea club”, I think
…
well

I’d bring a tinfull of oolong, and a walletfull of singles.

I love this sort of thing. Myself, my bro, and some friends would do it on occasion. I’d love to get a new one started up in my town now.
