There's many different kinds of Earl Grey. I would expect Cornelius to know this, though it may be that he simply doesn't care for Earl Grey in general.

How to tell if tea is ass:

1. Is it in a teabag? It is ass.
2. Is it loose? It might be ass or it might not, you should drink it and find out.

Tea is my poorly thought out substitute habit for cigarettes. I've had an awful lot of tea in the last four months.

Thanks a whole lot, Mr Bear. What am I going to drink next time I go to a Chinese restaurant, now?

You, through the internet, just triggered a series of events that will end with me full of general Tsos chicken, tonight.

I dig on Twinings earl grey.

Thanks, A-Cap, that's probably my most concrete accomplishment for the whole day.

But seriously. I am a serious tea drinker, but I have always been content with whatever lame beverage they served me with Chinese food, and now... I will never be able to forget that sentence. Arrgh.

I had a cup of chai tea last night at about 7. I couldn't fall asleep until 2. Somehow I am immune to coffee caffeine at this point, but tea caffeine still does a number on me. I dungetit.

I agree with A-CAP.

[KeithHernandez]

I agree with acap too.

Also, I can smoke like 3 cigarettes right before bed but if I have caffeine after like 3 pm I will be up all night, for real.

Ask for a potful of "glass tea" (just regular hot water) and bask in your ultimate display of Chinese-ness.

Those chai tea mixes, if that's what you had, are so sweet that what's keeping you awake might be the rush of like a half cup of sugar.   

Bringing together sweet drinks and Chinese food: Coke is good with dim sum. I tried this because I saw a lot of Chinese people doing it, and it's the same way Coke is good with, like burgers and fries - cuts the grease, or something.

But it's not what I want with Chinese dinner food. But hot water... now that's a little too far in the other direction.

For me a light beer is the ultimate companion to chinese food. The light sparkling nature of a crisp cold beer tends to cut at the over all oily feeling of chinese food sauces.

wait, tea in a bag is bad?

...really? how do you make it, then?

You buy loose tea and put it in a tea pot. Then you hold a tea strainer over each glass as you pour. The tea they put in bags are the little tiny flecks and dust leftover after they package the good bits as loose tea. It has to be in the bags because it's smaller than the holes in a metal strainer.

Of course I hate tea almost as much as I hate coffee.

You could use a tea ball.

I've never drunk anything with my ass! My ass usually expels rather than imbibes.

Come on, people... 15 posts without a teabag joke? We're better than this.
