Iced tea

On Saturday night in Washington, DC, hundreds of data center supporters gathered at a crypto-themed bar to celebrate data centers and the technological advancements these massive buildings underpin.

They sipped data center themed cocktails like the Loudoun County Iced Tea, a reference to the mecca of data centers in northern Virginia.

They took pictures in front of a banner that read, "Virginia is for servers," and they raged against critics of data centers, calling them misinformed and anti-progress.

Speaking of those critics, protesters showed up, too, and when one would jump on the stage to sound the alarm, the crowd broke into a chant of, "USA, USA." Toby, with polls showing three quarters of Americans opposing local data centers, they might be fighting an uphill battle, but they're fighting.

This may be true, but it is delusive, as people seldom complain.

They go elsewhere and get better value.

Every community becomes accustomed to drinking a particular description of tea and is quick to discover any change in the character and flavor of any tea that may be substituted for it, thereby becoming dissatisfied notwithstanding that even a higher priced tea of different character may be given them.

For this reason, the dealer will do well to keep as close to the grade and variety in use there and as nearly uniform as possible at all times maintaining a standard.

To do this effectually, it will be necessary for him to study and learn as near as he can the particular grade and flavor his trade prefers.

If it is worth the time and trouble to test a number of teas so that the most suitable may be selected, it certainly must be worth a little more of each to weigh and arrange the proportions in the best and most advantageous manner, and not risk the success of a combination by a rough conjecture at the various quantities composing it.

The advantage of correctly weighing tea for blending is not surpassed by that of selecting it in the first place, and a blend should never, under any circumstances, have its cost reduced by the introduction of a tea coarser or rougher in leaf than that of the majority of the kinds composing the mixture.

Low-priced teas when used for this purpose should be clean, plain, and sweet, as a tea of more pronounced character will stamp its own impression on the other teas instead of its being lost among them, its coarse features standing out prominently, while the superior qualities of the finer grades will be, if not entirely obliterated, so marred as to be unrecognizable.

That worked really well.

Hey, let's do iced tea with some function and a little bit of natural caffeine.

Oh, wow.

That really worked well.

that actually would be a great ad.

Well, we actually did this to our advantage.

Hello, I'm Amanda McNulty of Clemson Extension and Making It Grow.

Southerners have been drinking iced tea, or at least cold, not hot tea, forever.

Before ice was available, they might have put probably sweetened tea in a cool part of their home and have that with meals.

When ice became readily available, iced tea was even more refreshing.

In 1904 at the St. Louis World Fair, an Englishman whose company specialized in black Indian tea said, had gallons of hot tea sitting around when a heat wave came through.

He punted and got blocks of ice, which his workers chipped and put in glasses of tea.
