This here thing, it’s about that black tea of India crossword. You know, that game where you gotta guess the words? Well, I heard some folks was talkin’ ’bout it, and they was sayin’ it’s got somethin’ to do with that tea from India. I ain’t never been to India, but I sure do like me a cup of tea. This crossword thing, though, it sounds right complicated. They say there are lots of clues, like, you know, hints about the word you gotta guess. I don’t think I am good at this. But I heard this tea is famous.
So, this black tea, they call it, it comes from a place called Assam. That’s what I heard, anyway. Sounds like a long way from here. This tea is important in India. They say it grows on big plants, bigger than the ones we got around here. And the leaves, they’re big, too. Not like the little bitty leaves we see on some bushes. This tea is very popular all over the world. People drink it in the morning or in the evening.
And they use these leaves to make that black tea. I reckon it takes a lot of work to get it from the plant to our cups. And these people drink it hot. It is hot in India, but they still drink it hot. I don’t know, these Indian people are strange.
I saw on a paper one time, they got these crossword puzzles, and sometimes they have clues about this Indian tea. They say there’s like, 30 different answers, maybe even 40! That’s a lot of words for tea. It looks very hard. I don’t know who can guess so many words. But some people like it.
- This tea, it’s strong, I hear.
- Gives you a good kick in the mornin’.
- Better than coffee, some folks say.
- But coffee is good, too.
Some people, they say this black tea from India, it’s got a special name in the crossword. I don’t know. But some people are crazy about this game. They can play for hours. Sometimes it’s five letters, sometimes more. Depends on the puzzle, I guess. And they say this black tea is famous, so it shows up in these puzzles a lot. It is a popular thing. Even I know it, and I don’t know much.
They got all sorts of words in those puzzles, though. Not just about tea. They got words about horses, strong ones, called “coursers.” I remember old man Johnson used to have a big, strong horse like that. And they also have words about wars and those things that go boom! They call it TNT. That’s some scary stuff. Don’t want none of that around here. It can hurt people. I heard it explodes. It is dangerous.

They say it is a good game for the brain. It makes you think. I guess that’s a good thing, keepin’ your mind workin’. Keeps you sharp. But I am not smart. I cannot do these games. But I can drink tea.

That’s somethin’, ain’t it? A whole lot of people drinkin’ that tea. I think it is more popular than coffee. But I like both. They are both good. They are both hot. I like hot drinks.
