Oh also, another cool tea experience: when I lived in Sierra Leone a very common way to drink tea was called ataya which is pretty much just Gunpowder green tea (or in other cases some other black or green tea) brewed for 8+ hours and then mixed with sugar. Served warm to hot. It's better than it sounds though it's not something I'm immediately itching to make myself. Ataya bars were cool place to meet people though, and particularly good for when I wanted a caffeine fix. I'd go, have a drink, and play a checkers like game with slight rule variation with other people who lived in my town. Ataya bars are mostly frequented by muslims as it became popular in their culture as an alternative social beverage to alcohol.
