Went to the Grand Shop Of Tea Snobbery (not its real name) today to buy tea for my sister.


I usually love going there - a whole shop devoted to cool tea supplies! what's not to love? - but in this case, I was on a mission for... stuff I wouldn't usually buy. Stuff that would be better bought at a shop that wasn't so snobby about tea.

Because the simple fact of the matter is, when you go up to the counter carrying the stuff I was carrying, the shop assistants look at you with dubious disbelief and ask in an undertone "...you realise those are teabags, right?"


Woe unto me, for I have purchased teabags. I have fallen from the heights of the true looseleaf drinker, to a lowly purchaser of these plebby little containers. I must truly be ashamed.






Oddly, Firefox wants to correct my spelling of "realise", but is fine with "plebby"...

:::pets you:::

I am sure they use teabags, too. They only pretend to eschew them entirely.

And if you protest, "Oh, it's not for me! It's for my sister... really!" it starts to sound a little bit like, "I buy Playboy for the articles"... ;)

Ooh! Teeeeeeeeeeea! For meeeeeeeeeee!
Teabags are good for when visitors come who drink different teas. When two people want black tea of some sort, one wants chamomile and another wants peppermint, I run out of tea making things. Tea bags mean that everyone gets their cuppa at the same time. So there snobby tea shop person. (And no I don't want more infuser things. No where to store them.)
Also, is cuppa an Aussie term?
