One thing that almost every culture has some version of is tea. It’s just so nice to drink something warm with a soft flavor. Tea has a little caffeine in it, but not enough to keep you up or make you wired. A lot of teas are good for you too.
There’s a tea for almost every occasion: breakfast, dessert, bedtime. But sometimes there’s no occasion. You just want some tea. Watch Amanda and Marni decide which kind of tea to drink today.
3. Watch - Watch the video without reading the dialog.

Amanda: So, I am so sorry it’s cold in here, but I think I have something that might warm you up. I’ve got some tea selections.
Marni: I guess you do. I love tea.
Amanda: Me too. It’s the new coffee.
Marni: The new coffee you think? I guess it’s always been the new coffee for me because I don’t like it.
Amanda: It’s easier on your stomach. It’s about a third of the cost. You might not look as cool walking around with a little tea bag…
Marni: I never worry about looking cool.
Amanda: Oh, you don’t? I do a little bit. But if I get a Starbuck’s tea, I’ll usually tuck that tag in there.
Marni: Oh wow.
Amanda: Looks like a cup of joe.
Marni: I never tuck. So, yeah, these are very nice assortments. I’m a big fan of peppermint tea, very good for the stomach if you’re not feeling well. Chamomile, really relaxing…
Amanda: ...if you’re a little stressed out.
Marni: But today I’m going to with the spice rooibos ruby red chai that sounds very exotic.
Amanda: Sugar? Cream?
Marni: No just straight.
Amanda: Splenda?
Marni: No.
Amanda: Straight up?
Marni: Just straight up. Thanks, my throat…
Amanda: I’ll be back in a jif, OK?

Discussion
Amanda apologizes that her house is a little cold, but offers Marni some tea to warm her up. She sits down next to her with more boxes of tea than she can carry!
Amanda and Marni both like tea, but Amanda thinks it’s cooler to drink coffee. Sometimes she disguises her tea as coffee in order to look cool.
Marni looks at the different kinds of tea and chooses the one that sounds the most exotic to her. Amanda gets up to make it for her and Marni says she’d like the tea plain.
What sort of tea is there in your country? Do you put sugar or cream or anything in it? Did you notice the Turkish tea that shows up in our wedding video?
