Blemishless virgins! Teenage boys! Drunk architects!
My news feeds have been peppered with strange tea-related stories recently. Here's a round-up:
— Women in China usually do the bulk of the tea picking, but at least one garden is looking for a few blemishless virgins to pick tea with their teeth. Stay classy, China!
— A British architect claimed in court to have no memory of grabbing a waitress and holding a knife to her throat after she asked him to pay for his cup of tea. His lawyer told the court he had enjoyed a successful career as an architect "before alcohol sadly took a hold."
— Teenage boys love afternoon tea. Really.
— They'll probably also really dig this hemp iced tea.
— I'm never clear on the ultimate legitimacy of overseas news outlets, and I run into links to newspapers like The Hindustan Times quite often. And I must say, this is one of the strangest columns I've ever read.
