What is Liptonite?
1.
A person who claims to have a discerning, sophisticated palate for black teas, has all the finest accoutrements for serving tea; shops for tea at speciality markets, yet, purchases and serves to her guests Lipton tea or some other generic black tea dust that come in a bag with a string.
She prided herself on her afternoon tea parties with friends, using her best tea set, yet, when tea was served the string hanging from the pot left the quality and type of tea in question (which was confirmed upon the pouring of the tea as the bag had ruptured).
