there's nothing stopping you from actually steeping grass in a cup... but it probably wouldn't taste very good.

that is generally a pretty uninformed opinion... black tea is only that way because it is more heavily oxidised than other types of tea. the source plant is the same (obviously different blends use different ratios of leaves, and different plantations have different characteristics) but really the only difference is that black tea is slightly more heavily processed. green is obviously the least processed.

I'll put the trip on because this is something I'll greatly defend.

If you ALWAYS put cream/sugar/etc into your tea or coffee (with certain "required" exceptions; you require steamed milk for latte, cappuccino requires milk, etc.), then you don't actually like the taste of coffee/tea. You may like the "flavor essence" diluted coffee/tea, but you don't actually like the coffee/tea.

If you don't enjoy whisky/whiskey/rum/tequila/and others that fall into that realm, (mostly; with the exception of a few drops to a small amount of water to "open") neat and up, then you don't actually like the taste of that alcohol. (Note, this doesn't have to include vodka. It also doesn't include mixer shit like Kaluha and such)

There, of course, is nothing really "wrong" with liking your coffee, tea, or alcohol diluted. Just don't claim you like Colombian coffee or black tea and then ask where the cream and sugar is. Also, don't claim you love whiskey when you actually like whiskey sours and mint juleps.

Also, the case can be made that if you always dilute your coffee/tea/alcohol, you shouldn't bother buying high-end or expensive stuff. Though this case is swiss cheese; though it has a lot of substance, it's got many holes. It's your money you can do what you want, it brings my sugary mixed drink to new heights, etc. That being said, it's still serious food for thought.

I'm sympathetic to people who always add sweetener and cream to coffee because of how poor the general quality of coffee is (in America.) The coffee is often long-stale, over-roasted, poor-quality beans. When it is prepared, the proportion of coffee to water is rarely measured with care, and the prep method is almost always drip, which strips the coffee of its oil. The coffee being mixed with cream and sugar actually resembles a spice, dried, ground, more than it does the bean.

Many people who drink it like this, as an indigent, have never had fresh, well prepared coffee that actually has a flavor profile much closer to cream + sugar + coffee than the conventional fare, something savory, a little sweet, with a little bitterness.

There's also a case to be made for the word "coffee" in America carrying two senses; in the first, to say coffee means the beans and the grounds; in the second, to say coffee beans to mean a drink prepared from the grounds with a quantity of milk and sugar or black. If there is such a sense, then saying you like coffee is fine.

The best chai isn't made from concentrate/syrup my friend. Typically are very sugary and have an off taste.

I would suggest buying loose leaf and getting your own empty tea bags (loose chai is often super fine and doesn't sit well in a steel trap) or finding a store brand that's good.

Stash (a very popular brand, in many big box stores including Walmart) makes a fairly good chai that is smooth on the tongue. Purists will be snobby about it because it's big-box tea, but it's definitely the most accessible chai. I don't have any problems giving it to guests because most everyone likes it.

Or Trader Joe's has an in house branded chai that's a bit more of a tuned taste. Plus they are cheap.

even portuguese call tea cha and russians chai

The word for “tea” in many languages is of Sinitic origin (due to China being the origin of the plant), and thus there are many cognates; see translations. These are from one of two proximate sources. The word for tea in modern Min Nan is tê and in Mandarin is chá (both written as 茶); this divide dates to Proto-Min/Middle Chinese, though the two terms share the same Proto-Sino-Tibetan root. Different languages borrowed one or the other form (specific language and point in time varied), reflecting trade ties, generally southern Chinese tê if by ocean trade from China, or northern Chinese chá if by overland trade or by ocean trade from India.[1]

Thus Western and Northern European languages borrowed tê (with the exception of Portuguese, which uses chá; despite being by ocean trade, their source was in Macao, not Amoy), while chá borrowings are used over a very large geographical area of Eurasia and Africa: Southern and Eastern Europe, and on through Turkish, Arabic, North and East Africa, Persian, Central Asian, and Indic languages. In Europe the tê/chá line is Italian/Slovene, Hungarian/Romanian, German/Czech, Polish/Ukrainian, Baltics/Russian, Finnish/Karelian, Northern Sami/Inari Sami. tê was also borrowed in European trade stops in Southern India and coastal Africa, though chá borrowings are otherwise more prevalent in these regions, via Arabic or Indic, due to earlier trade. The situation in Southeast Asia is complex due to multiple influences, and some languages borrowed both forms, such as Malay teh and ca.

lel, that's not true at all. Hippocrates says that, for instance, under such and such an illness, you should take your wine as you habitually take it, mixed if you take it mixed, unmixed if you take it unmixed. The people who most frowned on drinking unmixed wine were the Spartans, but Herodotus records at least one king of theirs who took his unmixed.

Whether you take your wine mixed or unmixed had to do with personal taste, but also how much wine you'd be drinking. The Greeks used wine a lot like Amerifats drink soft drinks and coffee today, so diluting it was part of being able to function throughout the day. Obviously, it wasn't always diluted, when celebrating Dionysus, the very idea was to get drunk, and at symposiums the wine would sometimes be undiluted if intellectual discussion was not expected and people were just getting together to watch hookers dance and make out with qt boys and have a good laugh.

It's question of the function of the wine, but obviously in Greece, just like today, someone who went around drunk would be considered a slob.

"Low quality" and "high quality" are constructed entirely around your ability to drink the tea of that quality with little to no unpleasant tastes if the tea is being drunk on its own. Your argument is (subtly) circular, as are most arguments of this type.

If the drink the person buying the tea wants is one with milk and sugar, a "low quality tea" may complement those ingredients better by being more powerful. It doesn't particularly matter that the milk and sugar may conceal some of the bad tastes in the tea. (This kind of argument always assumes the milk and sugar is added because the person doesn't like the bitterness of the tea, not that, hey, they like milk and sugar, plus the taste of tea.)

Just put sweetened condensed milk in the normally brewed tea and you don't need to do any of that shit to get that kind of chai you'd get from a shop. Works for Thai tea too.

Stash is good for flavored teas, even tea snobs seem to think so. Most 'plain' bagged teas are remarkably different tasting from loose leaf counterparts though.

>Also, the case can be made that if you always dilute your coffee/tea/alcohol, you shouldn't bother buying high-end or expensive stuff.

How can you even begin to rationalize this argument?

If someone buys an $8 bottle of rum and $30 bottle of rum and uses both exclusively for mixed drinks, only to find that they strongly prefer the higher quality rum, why on earth would they opt to not buy the higher quality if the cost is negligible to them?

I can't think of any arguing that would support this point that wouldn't reek of pretentiousness and snobbery.

I can see the point, though. Let's be honest, if you're using rum as a mixer, you're not in it for the rum. You're in it to get drunk off Pepsi.

There are craftsmen who pride themselves on their work, and the world of alcohol is no different. If you spend extra for a fine, carefully crafted bottle of rum, then shit all over that bottle by pouring high fructose corn syrup into it, you are treating the care of the craftsman very badly.

Now, if you prefer to buy higher quality rum as a mixer, and you can afford it, good for you. Just don't pretend to know anything at all about rum. Snobbish as it sounds, a guy who sits down to great cinema and spends half the time on his smart phone shouldn't say peep about the flick. He doesn't know shit.

The highest possible supply of craftsmen is only able to exist due to the financial support created by the mixed drink population. How many people do you know that are actually rum connoisseurs, or even just enjoy it straight? The market would fold and craftsmen would not be able to practice their skills without them.

They're doing a greater service to the craftsmen than they are a disservice, if you can even call it a disservice.

Once the artist transfers the property in sale, they have no say in how it is to be respected. There is no moral wrong-doing. If the artist cares enough about the preservation/has intended observances for their art, then they don't sell it. Especially so when it comes to products that are created with the sole-intention of being sold.

I can agree with your latter point, although that analogy is poor. Even in that example, it's a ludicrous claim that I'm disrespecting Tarantino by shrugging and falling asleep in the middle of Pulp Fiction in the confines of my own home.
