UNIQUE EVENT COMING UP, THAT IS
ALL ABOUT GETTING TEA DRUNK.

PORTLAND.
PORTLAND.
PORTLAND. WE HAVE A LOT OF BOOZE
SEGMENTS, BEER SEGMENTS,
COCKTAIL SEGMENTS ON THE SHOW,
BUT TONIGHT, WE'RE MAKING A
MOCK TAIL.
MOCK TAIL. BECAUSE GETTING TEA DRUNK, DOES
NOT INVOLVE ANY ALCOHOL.
FORMULATION MANAGER, WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN?
THAT MEAN? >> THAT MEANS KEEP ALL OF OUR
RECIPES CONSISTENT.
RECIPES CONSISTENT. OUR TEAS ARE ALWAYS CHANGING,
AND I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY
TASTE CONSISTENT, CUP TO CUP.
>> DURING YOUR DAY AT WORK, YOU
HAVE TO TASTE A LOT OF TEA.
>> A LOT OF TEA.
>> SO YOU GET TEA DRUNK?
>> MOST DAYS, YEAH.
>> WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY
MEAN?
MEAN?
MEAN? >>
MEAN? >> IF YOU HAVE REALLY GOOD
QUALITY TEA, IT HAS A LOT OF
CAFFEINE IN IT, AND ALSO A LOT
OF ANTIOXIDANTS, PUT TOGETHER
IN COPIOUS AMOUNTS GETS YOU TO
VIBRATE A LITTLE BIT.
IT'S KIND OF A COOL VIBRATO YOU
HAVE DURING YOUR DAY.
YOU'RE SAFE TO DRIVE HOME, BUT
YOU JUST FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GOING
A LITTLE BIT FASTER THAN
EVERYBODY ELSE.
EVERYBODY ELSE. >> THAT IS FROM HEAD TEA MAKER,
ROBBIE.
ROBBIE.
ROBBIE. HE SAID IT WAS KIND OF A
FEELING OF EUPHORIA.
>> THAT'S GOOD, YEAH.
IT'S A REWARD FOR TAKING SOME
TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO DRINK
SOME TEA.
SOME TEA.
SOME TEA. >> WE HAVE GRABBED CLAUDIA.
TAKE SOME TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY
TO DRINK SOME TEA.
NATE GAVE UP ALCOHOL FOR THE
MONTH OF MARCH.
CLAUDIA, YOU'VE GIVEN UP SUGAR
FOR LENT.
FOR LENT.
FOR LENT. SO YOU CAN'T HAVE THE MOCKTAIL,
HOWEVER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
SLURP SOME TEA?
>> SO IN ADDITION TO GETTING
TEA DRUNK, WE ALSO ARE
EVALUATING TEA, AND THE BEST
WAY TO EVALUATE TEA IS WITH A
GOOD HEFTY SLURP.
IT'S NOT A RUDE GESTURE.
I'LL HAVE YOU TAKE A CUP AND A
SPOON, AND JUST LADLE INTO YOUR
CUP.
CUP.
CUP. THIS
CUP. THIS IS FOR SANITARY REASONS.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO DOUBLE
DIP.
DIP.
DIP. >>
DIP. >> A
DIP. >> A GOOD SMELL.
LOOKING AT THE COLOR AND THE
CUP.
CUP.
CUP. THEN
CUP. THEN A GOOD HEFTY, RIGHT OUT OF
THE CUP.
THE CUP.
THE CUP. AS BIG AS YOU CAN.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> READY, SET, GO!
>> SHE DIDN'T GO.
>> INTO THE EQUATION, SO YOU'RE
DRAWING THE TEA INTO YOUR
MOUTH, COATING YOUR ENTIRE
PALETTE, IT'S REALLY HANDY.
SLURP IT.
SLURP IT.
SLURP IT. >> THEN DO YOU GET LESS TEA
DRUNK, BECAUSE YOU'RE ONLY
TASTING A LITTLE BIT?
>> SOME PEOPLE GET LESS TEA
DRUNK BECAUSE AFTER THEY SLURP,
THEY SPIT INTO A SPITOON.
IT'S COMMONPLACE.
IT'S COMMONPLACE. >> THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN
HERE.
HERE.

KIND OF EMULATING A WALK IN A
FLOWER GARDEN.

>> WALKING THROUGH A LOVELY
FLOWER GARDEN SEEMS LIKE A
WONDERFUL WAY TO HAVE SOME ME
