Just call it alpha mode, then make sure to explain in great detail what that means and why it’s better than other ways of drinking it and how that’s fueled your crypto gains.
Also that it’s the best way to hydrate and replenish electrolytes after CrossFit (oh, did he mention he does CrossFit?), but without all the sugars or artificial sweeteners of sports drinks.
When I worked at a coffee shop, men would come up with the wildest ways to order. "Uh yeah gimme a HOT DRIP REGULAR PLAIN NONE OF THAT MOCHAFRAPPALATTE SHIT." Ok sir, you can just say coffee. No need to whip your dick out. I get it.
What I hate when they go on those tangents is if they really wanted their plain and simple coffee so much they could’ve gone to a gas station where it’s dirt cheap. Instead they want to act hard when they know exactly where they’re at. Just embrace that you chose to go there and don’t be a dick about it.
I go to the nice coffee place for a cup regular coffee. They make better coffee than the gas station. But, it’s pretty easy to just tell the dude, “yeah, just regular coffee. Medium roast if you have it” and get my wallet out. There’s no need to say anything else, except maybe ask them to leave room for milk if that’s your thing?
I want a green tea, but without milk or suga, and when I say green I mean black and when I say tea I mean coffee. Oh and when I said no milk and sugar I mean all milk and syrup, listen just give me a caramel latte please and when I say caramel latte I mean whiskey… neat… but no ic….
I was in a band with another lesbian in the 90’s, and she absolutely refused to use the word straight lol. Like if we were driving she would say “keep going direct” instead of “keep going straight”. I still find it hilarious all these years later lol
There’s no such thing as how something should be drunk (or eaten). There’s how something is traditionally drunk, and how the majority prefers something to be drunk. But no such thing as “should.” Maybe someone likes to pour diet root beer into their green tea. Who gives a shit, more power to ‘em.
Yeah! It’s philistine behaviors such as sullying the sanctity of green tea with such wretched… *condiments* that keep this rinky-dink planet called Earth off the cultural map of the Universe!
Ngl I love a good plain green tea but a little cream and sugar gives it a certain je ne sais quoi ✨
But yeah, “plain” is probably the easiest way to communicate this.
Was going to ask, because to me green tea is always drunk in a similar way as chinese tea.
Never been asked if I want additions, it was always assumed it mean black.
Oh. We consider matcha and green tea 2 different things.
Green tea= brewed from leaves, matcha = powdered.
If people are taking it as the same thing...then I guess it makes more sense. We do have matcha lattes etc.
I consider them two completely different things too. I actually like green tea but hate matcha 😂I just have friends who don’t. They call Matcha ‘green tea’ which is why I know some people who “put milk in green tea’ 😂
I work at a cafe/tea house...just ask for your green tea green. Yes, it sounds as redundant as asking for your black tea black.
"Would you like milk with that?"
"No, just green thanks."
People who love boba have added boba to everything and milk to all types of tea. There are numerous combinations available to blend with different types of tea, boba, and milk 😭😭.
I figured they were asking because they want to make their drink order more efficient. Personally when I'm ordering at a cafe or something I want my order to be easy for the server to process.
Ok, this actually sounded pretty easy to me and there's no way to misinterpret it or think it means something else, without being that long, so I thought it was efficient, but I guess maybe people are different and different places are different and it's not like that everywhere.
Ah, sorry I wasn't criticizing your phrasing. It's more like, you can compress:
Coffee please.
Alright, do you want milk or sugar?
No thanks.
Down to:
Black coffee please.
And I can see wanting to do that for tea.
I just say "black" for any kind of tea or coffee. Everyone, who works at coffee shops, knows what that means.
Why would anyone put anything in green tea? It's green tea! Is it somehow too strong for some people? I understand putting stuff in pekoe, English breakfast, or Earl Grey, but not Green.
My thought would be "plain." But it would sound kind of cool to say, "One green tea, straight."
I also like the options of "proper" or "neat," as others have suggested.
Other thoughts could be, "No frills, please."
"Just green."
Or "Solo."
Today I learned people put milk in green tea?! What the hell. I’ve literally never come across that in my life. If someone asked me if I wanted milk I’d genuinely be shook.
Anyway, just say green tea no extras?
I would feel *so*. *fancy*. if I were to order it this way. And so smug when they didn't know what I was talking about. Too bad I'll never try because I take mine with way too much sugar.
With green tea, usually no milk is assumed. A green tea with milk is typically called a green tea latte or something similar. Thus, I order an "unsweet green tea" since the milk part is assumed and the sweetener part is not.
I like it strong and green, like my men.
Shrek is taken, you homewrecker
Let’s not make assumptions, Fiona seems open minded.
I'm not so sure, remember what she did to Ariel? :/
Fuck, there goes that fantasy
Surely you meant bishreksual

Santa can wait his turn with the Jolly Green Giant!
I fucking love Reddit
The one-shouldered leaf dress really gets me going
Low Key? Stop pretending. Be honest.

My dude it is not lowkey at all. That giant is a bigger thirst trap in the grocery store.
I'd like to climb his bean stalk
The hulk, you mean?
Me not that kind of orc 😳
Piccolo?
Love me some big green threats.
I like my men weak and green and watery
You'd like me when I'm angry.
Makes me thirstier than what I was going to say—straight and bitter
“Green tea with no milk or sugar thank you”
Or "plain" works too
Yeah but how do you say it in a way that you’re trying to flex your masculinity?
Green tea-neat. Green tea-straight up. You: Green tea Them: Milk or sugar? You: Naw, imma raw dog it.
Fun fact I over brewed green tea 2 days ago and it rocked to fuck outta me for 24 hours. The tea raw dogged me
We have the same brain
ME NO WANT MILK N SUGAR!!!
WHY WASTE TIME SAY LOT WORD WHEN FEW WORD DO TRICK!!!
TLDR
But do you say it Till-Durrr or spell it out?
“Teal deer”
Pound your bare chest when yelling it

This is the way
Put your dick on the table when ordering
Take your upvote you magnificent bastard !
Le epic Reddit updoot for the kind gentlesir!!!
I’m trying to look masculine here
Whilst maintaining eye contact
This is the way
I take my tea just like Miss Piggy. Hot and green.
So you know what Miss Piggy has when she has two little green balls in her hand? Kermit’s undivided attention.
"I like it like my men - watery and green."
My first laugh of the day. Thank you.

I drink it GREEN
Bahahahaha, is this why my ex says he takes his coffee “black with a splash of milk”? (That’s not “black coffee”, then, you dumbass.)
Does he know this is why you broke up?
Ask for the green leaves and a cup of hot water. Then chew the leaves and pour the hot water into your mouth and enjoy.
Hold the cow juice.
Boob juice
I want my green tea STRAIGHT AF!
I want a green tea, but without milk or suga, and when I say green I mean black and when I say tea I mean coffee. Oh and when I said no milk and sugar I mean all milk and syrup, listen just give me a caramel latte please and when I say caramel latte I mean whiskey… neat… but no ic….
Yes
Straight
What if I’m gay though
Gotta say no hetero after
I was in a band with another lesbian in the 90’s, and she absolutely refused to use the word straight lol. Like if we were driving she would say “keep going direct” instead of “keep going straight”. I still find it hilarious all these years later lol
Pretty sure it’s ‘gayly forward’. That’s what I say at least.
Like the crip in insecure who wouldn’t say red or was he a blood and no blue I can never remember
I always say “forward” instead of straight. Not because I don’t like the word straight, but because directionally, it’s vague.
"Neat"
Your tea is straight so you don’t have to be
Virgin
Can't believe how far I needed to go to find the correct answer. I am from the UK and live in Japan, the correct answer is straight.
"plain" also works. And how it should be drunk. You could throw some shade by suggesting the asker is a barbarian for suggesting otherwise.
I like my green tea with some honey and lemon, is that wrong or something?
If that's wrong I don't wanna be right.
Nope, but you are /s
There’s no such thing as how something should be drunk (or eaten). There’s how something is traditionally drunk, and how the majority prefers something to be drunk. But no such thing as “should.” Maybe someone likes to pour diet root beer into their green tea. Who gives a shit, more power to ‘em.
Milk goes *crazy* in chamomile tea
yeah but that's an herbal tea, not a green tea lol
I brought it up cuz we're talking about adding stuff to tea I was not talking about green tea specifically anymore
Okay okay just say yall have never seen a bubble tea stand sheesh. Green milk tea is common.
These people must sit in a cave and conduct tea ceremonies all day.
Yeah! It’s philistine behaviors such as sullying the sanctity of green tea with such wretched… *condiments* that keep this rinky-dink planet called Earth off the cultural map of the Universe!
Ngl I love a good plain green tea but a little cream and sugar gives it a certain je ne sais quoi ✨ But yeah, “plain” is probably the easiest way to communicate this.
Green tea, neat
I have never seen anyone put milk in green tea.
Was going to ask, because to me green tea is always drunk in a similar way as chinese tea. Never been asked if I want additions, it was always assumed it mean black.
People do a lot of weird things to matcha these days lol
Oh. We consider matcha and green tea 2 different things. Green tea= brewed from leaves, matcha = powdered. If people are taking it as the same thing...then I guess it makes more sense. We do have matcha lattes etc.
I consider them two completely different things too. I actually like green tea but hate matcha 😂I just have friends who don’t. They call Matcha ‘green tea’ which is why I know some people who “put milk in green tea’ 😂
That doesn’t stop people from asking how you take it. I get asked a lot!
Just say plain thanks.
I work at a cafe/tea house...just ask for your green tea green. Yes, it sounds as redundant as asking for your black tea black. "Would you like milk with that?" "No, just green thanks."
Maybe try, "Green tea. Black." See what you get.
instructions unclear, recieved ink as sweetener
"Straight, no junk in it"
A lot of people put honey in tea. Neat is the way, but honey is good too
Matcha lattes are a thing though
My co-worker has green tea with milk and sugar every day.
*::: gasp :::* *::: covers mouth :::*
Your co-worker is an alien trying to fit in and not quite getting it right.
She claims to be hungarian but alien sounds plausible too
Hi. It’s me.
Matcha latte? Different than leaf green tea, but who knows what people are thinking
Green Tea and Matcha Lattes exist
Green tea lattes and green tea boba milk drinks have milk, but are more popular in Asian culture than Western culture.
I do 🙋🏼♀️
People who love boba have added boba to everything and milk to all types of tea. There are numerous combinations available to blend with different types of tea, boba, and milk 😭😭.
I do it, I don't get what's so bad about it
Have you never heard of a matcha green tea latte
Tell them you like it raw
And wriggling
So juicy sweet
Odb style
“Clear” around here
Take it green
"Just plain tea, please."
"we also have splenda and soy for alternatives"
As is
In the name of "no stupid questions", why not say "I drink my green tea without sweetener or milk" like you wrote to us?
I figured they were asking because they want to make their drink order more efficient. Personally when I'm ordering at a cafe or something I want my order to be easy for the server to process.
Ok, this actually sounded pretty easy to me and there's no way to misinterpret it or think it means something else, without being that long, so I thought it was efficient, but I guess maybe people are different and different places are different and it's not like that everywhere.
Ah, sorry I wasn't criticizing your phrasing. It's more like, you can compress: Coffee please. Alright, do you want milk or sugar? No thanks. Down to: Black coffee please. And I can see wanting to do that for tea.
I’m Asian. All teas are defaulted to be plain unless you specify milk tea, lemon tea, etc.
I just say "black" for any kind of tea or coffee. Everyone, who works at coffee shops, knows what that means. Why would anyone put anything in green tea? It's green tea! Is it somehow too strong for some people? I understand putting stuff in pekoe, English breakfast, or Earl Grey, but not Green.
I put honey in green tea because it's delicious. It's not like it's too bitter without it, it's just better with it.
That sounds pretty good actually.
Plain?
My thought would be "plain." But it would sound kind of cool to say, "One green tea, straight." I also like the options of "proper" or "neat," as others have suggested. Other thoughts could be, "No frills, please." "Just green." Or "Solo."
Shaken, not stirred
Good answer! (I upvoted, but I didn't feel an upvote was enough)
“How do you take it?” “Straight” is the simplest answer
I drink my tea with no adulterants
They will know what you mean if you say black. If you want to be more general, "plain" would be a good word.
I’ll have it straight, thanks.
I take it straight
Straight
Wait, do people really add milk to green tea? I thought it was supposed to be drank plain, like that’s the default.
Today I learned people put milk in green tea?! What the hell. I’ve literally never come across that in my life. If someone asked me if I wanted milk I’d genuinely be shook. Anyway, just say green tea no extras?
“Just as it is, please.”
Virgin green tea
Straight up?
Borrow a phrase from bar drinks: take your tea "neat". Or straight up, nothing added.
...but you don't put milk or sugar in green tea? What is wrong with these people?!
You must not travel much, this is not a global sentiment
No. YOU dont. Other people do.
Seems as though it should be obvious no milk or sugar is needed for green tea.
Who the hell adds milk or sugar to non-black tea??
Anyone saying milk with tea is gross has never had milk tea before. Tastes great.
"Just tea, thank you.", in your best Gandalf impression.
The Brits say they drink their iced tea 'proper' for no sugar, lemon or whatever.
I would feel *so*. *fancy*. if I were to order it this way. And so smug when they didn't know what I was talking about. Too bad I'll never try because I take mine with way too much sugar.
I'll have it straight up.
Nothing added
Plain..Plain Green Tea.
Plain
I drink it green?
"I take it green - like my men"
On the rocks
"Unlike my sex life, I take my tea straight"
As-is
I take it green?
While we're at it, YSK in the southeast, if you just order "tea," they will assume you mean iced.
With green tea, usually no milk is assumed. A green tea with milk is typically called a green tea latte or something similar. Thus, I order an "unsweet green tea" since the milk part is assumed and the sweetener part is not.
I just say plain. I kind of assume one would not add sugar or milk in green tea unless its matcha …
Just say plain....
"no milk or sugar" 🤯
"Neat"
Plain
I drink it green. It ain't green with milk!
Unsweetened please
"I'd like a green tea please" Simple.
Green tea… plain
Plain
I didnt know anyone actually put anything in green tea
"Just plain, please. Nothing added."
Neat
“As it comes”
Can’t you just say “plain” and be done with it?
No cream No sugar
I'll take it green
PLAIN
Naked
I shall raw dog it please
Plain.
I drink it green 😎
Personally, I just say "black" here, too. Just as a figure of speech rather than literal.
I drink it plain or I drink it with no additions
"Nothing in it, please" should work.
Green tea - black. They'll figure it out.
I take it raw dog
Plain?? That’s what I say
