Why all warriors should drink tea

When most of us think of drinking tea, we envision lace gloves, dainty cucumber sandwiches, and fresh brews in porcelain china poured into adorable cups held with pinky-extended hands.

Not so. Some of the greatest fighters humanity has ever produced were known to enjoy a spot of tea as battle fuel.

Enter Rakkasan Tea Company, a veteran-owned brand on a crusade to prove tea’s illustrious role throughout military history and make the case why today’s warfighters should consider choosing the leafy beverage over muddy coffee.

“My introduction to hot tea wasn’t tea and crumpets,” said co-founder and CEO Brandon Friedman. “It was drinking tea with Iraqi and Afghan fighters between missions. It was how we bonded.”

How about a big glass of iced tea in the heat of the summer, or anytime for that matter....nothing more refreshing.  I drink several a day....

So........drinking a diuretic as a battle fuel is good idea for soldiers? Even when deployed in the desert?

3 bags of decalf and one regular makes me a good gallon of tea, that me and the kids drink that day for refreshment (over cokes which we rarely drink).
