More tea.

Seriously.

The first sip of tea is a throwaway.

I don't get the real flavor until many sips into a cup. Sometimes it
peaks only after the 3rd cup.

Now, if you're talking a serious palate skewing, you may not get to a
decent place to drink a subtle tea. It can take hours for capsaicin to
dissipate, for instance.

So keep drinking beer like the rest of us.

Makes me wonder what tea most Indians drink, considering that Indian
food is full of strong, long-half-life spices...
