The tea is a really traditional thing here, it's a pot of herbs which they add ice cold water to and then everyone passes the cup around as a social thing, it's very rude not to drink or to not down the whole thing when it's passed to you. Gideon loves the tea, Dave quite likes it, Josiah can just about manage to drink it without pulling too many faces and I really hate it. If you know what henna hair dye smells like then this stuff tastes similar but worse.
