A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

This may be one of the most 'first world problems' worthy problems I've ever read...
edit: /S for the downvoting folks that take a shower thoughts post seriously
It's a shower thought, dude. Also, there's no such thing as Big Tea as far as I know.
Edit: I literally thought that in the shower and it amused me.
Thats what the dutch east India company wants you to think
Yeah, see I'd hardly know the difference from the $5 a box bags I buy to make iced tea in the summer.

I mean, your tea game is dire. Far too dilute, and made with cold salt water! Who would want to drink that. If that's the best Boston can do, it completely explains why Americans don't drink tea!
Well we had to make enough for a whole party. The salt was just a bonus knowing no true Brit would ever let seasoning get near their meal.
We accidentally built an empire looking for new seasonings! It got so bad we started naming our new dishes after where we stole the flavours from!
If you want to salt the tea, that's your business, but at least heat the water first!
Fine. But I’m using the microwave to do it!
Acceptable. We understand that America lacks the infrastructure to support advanced equipment, like the 3kw electric kettle.
The British empire has entered the chat (backed by a very heavily armed fleet of warships).
There is however a Mr. T, and he would indeed pity the fool duped by a Darjeeling flim flam done in his name.
I knew a guy who looked into starting a tea growing business in Nepal. He was simplifying, I'm sure, but his answer in the end was it's all controlled by the tea mafia!
Big Tea.
