As Minion in Charge of Tea

[redbird]

While there is nothing wrong with flavored teas--Earl Gray, vanilla, black currant, whatever you care for--they are not to be the only available tea in any establishment. Any restaurant offering flavored tea to its customers must have at least one plain black tea--an Assam, a Darjeeling, Irish Breakfast, whatever suits the owner and cooks.

Restaurants that bring free pots of jasmine-scented oolong to the table with every meal are exempt from this ruling.

Also, while this edict does not apply to restaurants that sell no caffeinated beverages, any establishment that offers both tisanes and coffee must also have tea, under the same rules as above. "Camomile and Peppermint" is not an acceptable answer to "What teas do you have," although "We have Moroccan mint tea and Lipton" is.
