An article in this month’s Atlantic.

But not tea? I drink coffee when I eat out but at home I’m mostly a tea man.

A lot of people do that because it’s hard to get a good cup of tea from a restaurant, basically you get a small pot filled with lukewarm water with a cheap bag of tea sweepings in it.
