i get this tea in British Museum. The tea bag is so bloody giant, more like a sodding blanket. pulling it just keeps on coming and coming and coming, like Draupadi’s sari.

and then this tea. I forget where I had this but this had some very strange weird shit in there and it tasted dusty and weirdass. And it was hugely expensive.
