Music inspired by the love of tea

[Teaism]

Hi and hello.

Been a while since I posted here - so much so that I've had to roll a new username. A bit out of the festival life these days and baby on the way in September, so it may be a while till I get to another one.

But that's enough about me.

I'm in need of some assistance - and remembered this is the place for random, music related questions.

I need to compile a Tea based playlist.

This Soundcloud gives you an idea of the kind of thing I'm looking for. Folky, folktronica, downtempo but will consider anything as long as it ties into the theme of Tea (in the liquid sense rather than the Northern tea that confuses me so).

So what are your top Tea related tunes?

Thanks all.

cracking suggestions - keep them coming

Dreadzone — Heat The Pot

Nirvana — Pennyroyal Tea

Flying Lotus — Tealeaf Dancers

The Police: — Tea in the Sahara

Alex Harvey band - Boston tea party

[mrtourette]

I'm not sure all these are actually inspired by a love of tea, Pennyroyal Tea is about being able to cleanse yourself internally/mentally and wash away your sins and troubles (Pennyroyal is a herb that in large quantities can induce an abortion/miscarriage and for that purpose it's often taken in tea).

[fred quimby]

Not sure Alex Harvey is inspired by tea really either

Before they called themselves Pink Floyd the band went out under the name of the Tea Set. So early Floyd could count.
