The greatest tea-themed joke you'll see today

Man, we Irish love our tea. Brewin' it, drinkin' it, making it just right - we're mad about the stuff, just like our neighbours across the water.

Cue this gem of a tea joke from Reddit, highlighting the tough job Earl Grey has:

Damn important stuff, given the difference between English tea, which is made of Assam, Ceylon, and Kenya, and Irish tea, which is mostly Assam, and, er, Kenya.

Completely different.

Now, you may give me some funny looks here, but this is another good reason to try yourself some Earl Grey. Yep, that's right, tea that isn't Barry's (you Lyons drinkers are beyond help anyway).

It's actually pretty good stuff. And Captain Picard drank it, remember?
