Why does half of the world call tea something like TEE and the other half use a word like CHAI?
It all depends which route was used to originally import tea. In Chinese the one symbol for tea 茶 is pronounced differently, up north as "cha" and coastal/south region as "te".
If the Portuguese introduced tea to your country you probably call it as tea and if it arrived by land something like cha.
Today I start with tea, coffee can come later, I have a simple way to do tea, not as elaborate as my coffee steps.
- use a closable metal spoon to get the leaves.
- I bent the spoon handle so it hooks to the rim of the large size cup
- pour water and use a silicone cover to trap the heat - bent spoon handle helps here too.
- steep as long as to your taste, but do not please never keep the tea so long in water to turn the tea bitter 😄
- let it cool slightly with cover off, and enjoy !
My name is Otuk and this sentence contains two hundred twenty-six characters in total: sixty-four vowels, one hundred seventeen consonants, thirty-four spaces, six commas, three dashes, one colon, and at the very end a period.
I never liked the #emacs icon, now that I switched to UI base emacs from terminal emacs usage - I tried to synthesize an application icon which I do not claim to be better in any way but at least different than the traditional emacs icon.
So is this toot considered too commercial for Mastodon?
