I'm northern, my veins run with tea
Nothing to do with northern or southern, I'm south east through & through and tea is a sacred fluid to me. First thing to adulterate the bottle when I was a baby, and my father was so fussy about his tea that teabags weren't allowed in the house - had to be blended in the pot from 2 particular types - or even when camping!
Luckily mine aren't interested in anything except water to drink. I tried them on cat milk once, and the LOOKS I got "Mama trying to poison us!"
