Many humans do not know this, for history has been twisted with the lies of mortal man to make them look better than the creatures they share this planet with, but there are many things you have been taught, that are terribly, terribly wrong.
For example.....
We Trolls were the ones that discovered tea. it's quite simple really. We live under bridges, and in times of drought the water beneath begins to stop flowing and pools into puddles. Leaves fall into these puddles and sun shines down, creating a very base form of tea.
For hundreds of years, we Trolls were content to sipping to ourselves, but then we shared tea with our friends the Dragons. Who, naturally, came up with a much more quick way of heating the tea, and in their wisdom designed all sorts of kinds of teas for all sorts of kinds of creatures.
Elves, for example, like teas that are aeromatic. The steam from the tea wafting forth to be inhaled by many people - thus creating the Tea Party.
Dwarves like teas that are quite frankly crunchy. Adding small rocks or pieces of coal to the mix as is their liking. The origin, therefore, of the phrase "one lump or two".
You Humans, being the most diverse of the lot have the most diverse of flavors spanning the world wide.
Now, one thousand years after Trolls first shared the secret of Tea with the Dragons, it was felt that we Trolls should be thanked with a Commemorative Tea, one that nested all the best things of all the teas ever made together.
A "NesTea", you might call it. And it was good.
And to seal this Commemoration, a poem was written, and it goes thusly:
Three Teas for the Elven Kings, sipping beneath the sky.
Seven Teas for the Dwarf Lords, sipping in their halls of stone.
Nine Teas for Mortal Man, doomed to sip, and die.
But for the Trolls,
One Tea to rule the all,
One tea to nest them,
One tea to bring them all,
And in the tasting, best them.
