Someone asked me what I thought re: the Doctor's tea preferences:

Huh, the Doctor doesn't seem to be much of a green tea man in any incarnation. Pah! Green tea is for young people.

Eleven would so drink only teas grown in aeroponic zero-gravity space station farms orbiting Io. Or GABA oolong. He'd make such a wounded face when Amy told him it tasted weird.

But like, think of the rich long history of green tea in asia, and Three's bit Thing for Asia? I could see it, in an Uncle Iroh from Avatar kind of way. One & Iroh: weird old crotchety tea bffs (because One is basically King Boomie).

[ushas42]

That's true. I'd forgotten Three's Asian Thing, with the weird Mao name-dropping and the knowledge of Tibetan he later forgets.

He's practicing to be Eight.

Mere words can not adequately describe how much I love this!

[x_losfic]

Hah, thanks!

[finmagik]

OH I love it!

[promethia_tenk]

Hahahah! Very nice.

Re: Nine and Ten: Totally. Assam guys through and through.

I love the pointless bee-keeper suit, because it's true. AUGH, MOFF.

Someone up-thread theorized that Ten has bonded with whatever tea initially saved his regeneration. Unfortunately knowing Jackie, it might well have been tetley. x_x

[tweedymcgee]

No doubt he did. (Ugh, Tetley. Maybe it was Typhoo! That'd be all right!)

It's just occurred to me, I've written six Ten fics, and there's tea in three of them. Hmm.
