Welcome to the tea community. As the leading British Lemmy instance it is a disgrace that none of you stated this sooner.

So here we are for all tea needs - tea news, tea memes, tea recommendations and on and on.

Now for the difficult bit: I don't drink much tea. Not a slight on the nation's favourite brew, I just don't drink hot drinks beyond the occasional lukewarm chocolate. So if there's a safe pair of hands out there who loves a brew then let me know.

If you Google C. sinensis, you get Clonorchis sinensis - the Chinese liver fluke.

Ah ha ha ha! Also Cordyceps sinensis. I'll pass on the liver fluke tea, thanks.

But you've avoided answering my questions: Tisanes ok? Tea only?

Oh sorry, yeah sure - I'd personally count tea as any plant steeped in hot water. Although that technically rules out magic mushroom tea, so I may be flexible there. Just no fluke tea.

If my ex mother-in-law made you a cup of tea it was a fluke if it was drinkable.

No fluke tea, agreed. My best attempt to stay on the good side of my honored Moderator. tips hat

I'm cool with whatever people define as tea but this rest of this rabble are less predictable!

Apparently. And I think we are here because we prefer it that way.

And quite right too.
