From David Byrne
I read Roger Kistruck’s letter in response to New Scientist‘s “dry January” experiment lamenting a lack of palatable non-sugary drinks, and the response that there is a need for grown up versions of these that can be savoured (1 February, p 32).
At the time, I had a pot of oriental spiced black tea on the go – which is very much an adult drink to be savoured, not guzzled – and it is wholly sugar-free. Chinese and Japanese tea houses have been delivering variants in a social context for a long time.
