I hate all this nonsense fruit tea rubbish. You want proper black tea. I like the one I was raised on (Irish "breakfast" tea, though it gets drunk with every meal). Pretty much the same as english tea although perhaps a little rougher, coarser and more bitter (just like the Irish!).
I have a giant stockpile of proper teabags in my kitchen and almost always have a tea bag on my person. In Ireland as well as the UK you'll be offered tea when visiting nearly anyone. Sometimes rather persistently:

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Given the tail pattern, fur length and colour, and the general overall size, I don't think that's an English Beaver. Alf is now also a disappointment.

My ex girlfriends all said that too, they left me for Kronk. And it's a North American beaver, specifically one found in the state of Ohio.

Jebus....can you imagine the wars being fought now if there were no tea or coffee to found or supplied. Holy Daddy of all Crutches I was at a FoB in Western Afghanistan that was thrown up with a quickness for two weeks with no caffeine but the instant coffee from MRE's......all had live ammo and frags....flashbang's...well a crap load of ammo....we were attacked once....and only once..captured two....expended enough ammo to give God pause before entering through the ECP of the FoB...
btw
Kronk probably won't post on here. Mind you he still stuck in Japan volunteering his time for baby making...
