*** Please give opinion and forward if you agree ***. Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the tea plant, After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavor that many enjoy. Tea has many designs colors and its use is to believed to be the most consumed beverage in the world. The brewing process differs from culture to culture. What ever process or flavor is imposed each culture has in their mind the best. They even have names for their process Sweet, unsweet, hot, sun,cold green,black, herbal The list goes on. Life is like Tea everyone has an opinion,they have the best. One thing about Tea if you dont like the way they make it, you can ask for alternative, such as the source that made it, Water. In most culture they will accommodate your preference. You may not have any tolerance at all for tea, of any culture, and the source is your only preference. You have the right to choose or not. Groups and Culture do have a tendency to insinuate their preference on you. Some will go as far as to eliminate access to your alternative preference (Water)so you have to drink what is served. Or drink nothing at all. They are of the opinion what makes them happy will make you happy, and are offended by your preference. Some will goes as far as to flavor, color ,cool, heat, add ingredients to give you an illusion they can change your preference. Groups or cultures that are offended by the fact you will not drink their Tea take drastic action to make you drink, buy,serve, their Tea. They will not allow your preference. In their group or culture. Their are some of us that can tolerate any blend or process, to accommodate the one serving. Then their are ones that understand, when they are to engage with certain cultures, we need to arrange their own preference before they engage with them. Or not at all. This does not make you a Hater of tea it just your preference and what you choose. The tea alone does not decide if you are a Tea lover or not. It is usually the demeanor, attitude, surroundings,time of year, that makes you partake in what is served. Now to my point if you replace the Tea with Human nature I think you will find this is what is going on in the Middle East, and other places that wont drink their Tea. The Truth when you Pour Tea out of you cup it hits the ground it create a wet spot. often will leave a stain. When these barbarians decide to line people up and kill them It will leave a stain. Because they would not conform to their religion. (Or Drink Their Tea) You decide how to stop them from trying to make people drink their Tea, or in this case changing to their Religion. It has nothing to do with race or religion (Or the Tea) it is how they are serving it. By Steven C Johnson
