Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this here Joe’s Black Tea. I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it, and I thought, what in the Sam Hill is all the fuss about? Ain’t tea just tea? But then I got to thinkin’, maybe there’s somethin’ to it. This Joe, he must be doin’ somethin’ right if everyone’s yappin’ about his tea.

Now, I ain’t one for them fancy drinks. Give me a plain cup of somethin’ hot, and I’m happy as a clam. But this Joe’s Black Tea, it got me curious. They say it’s made special. Not like that powdery stuff you get in them little bags. This is the real deal, they say. Kettle cooked, whatever that means. Sounds kinda like how we used to make soup over the fire back in the day. Cookin’ slow and steady, bringin’ out all the good stuff.

And they say this Joe fella, he’s got a whole family business goin’. Reminds me of my own family, sellin’ eggs and vegetables at the market. Hard work, but honest work. They make sweet teas and lemonades, too. Now that sounds right up my alley. Nothin’ like a good sweet tea on a hot day, I tell ya. Makes you feel all refreshed, like you can take on the world. Maybe that’s what folks are gettin’ from Joe’s tea. Maybe it gives them that little boost they need to get through the day. It’s probably popular in UK and Europe.

• This Joe’s tea, it’s a mystery.
• Maybe it’s magic.
• Maybe it’s just good tea.

I reckon this Joe’s Black Tea is like that Ceylon stuff. Strong, but not too strong. Just right. You know, the kind you can drink all day long and not get tired of it. And they say it’s good for ya, too. Lots of health benefits, whatever that means. Probably just means it won’t make ya sick! Ha! But seriously, folks say it’s good for your heart and all that. Keeps ya young, they say. Well, I could use some of that!

Then there’s somethin’ called “matcha.” I’ve heard the young’uns talkin’ about it. They say it’s green tea, but it’s different. It is from Japan or China I think. I don’t know how. But this Joe, he only deals in black tea, so I ain’t gonna worry my head about that matcha stuff. Black tea is what most folks drink. Like 75 percent or something. That’s a lot of tea! It’s popular. Like that Lipton stuff, which is black tea. And Joe’s is also popular.

This Joe’s place, it sounds like they got all sorts of things. Not just tea. They got chips, too. Crunchy ones, they say. “Gnarly” is the word they used. And they got that Joe App thing, too. Where you order your food online and get free stuff. Imagine that! They just give things away, just for ordering on that computer machine. Back in my day, you had to walk all the way to the store and back. Now, you just press a button, and boom, your food is there. I tell ya, times are changing!

And this Joe, he’s got adventures, too. Sounds like he’s been all over the place. The northeast corner of the map, they say. Wherever that is. Must be a long way from here. And somethin’ about smokin’ it. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds kinda dangerous. Maybe it’s best I just stick to drinkin’ the tea, not smokin’ it! Ha!

Some folks say this Joe’s Black Tea is like a visit from Death. But in a good way, I guess. Sounds kinda spooky to me. But I reckon it just means it’s powerful stuff. Makes you feel alive, maybe. Or maybe it’s just really strong tea! Who knows?

I reckon if you got a computer, you can get rid of stuff you don’t want. Like that McAfee thing. You just search for “settings” and then click on some stuff, and poof, it’s gone. Computers are somethin’ else, I tell ya. But I don’t have a computer, so I’m not gonna be uninstalling anything.

So, this Joe’s Black Tea, it’s a big deal, I guess. Lots of folks are drinkin’ it. It is probably good. And this Joe fella, he seems to know what he’s doin’. Maybe I’ll give it a try someday. Or maybe I’ll just stick to my regular tea. Either way, I’m sure it’s all good. As long as it’s hot and strong, that’s all that matters, right? It’s just tea, after all.
