Round 1 · Lady Steep for Team Tea

Round 1 — Lady Steep for Team Tea
Take: “Tea has a thousand flavors and no crash. I drink it because I enjoy it, you drink coffee because you can't talk to a toaster without it.”
The kettle sings, I wait, and the leaves unfold,
Five quiet minutes, and the morning does as it's told.
Nobody may speak to you before your first cup,
You growl at the toaster and you won't look up.
Six modifiers on a seven-dollar cup of mud,
You're vibrating at noon with a cold brew in your blood.
I drink what I enjoy, the way free people do,
You don't have a coffee habit. The coffee has you.
Round 1 — Double Shot for Team Coffee
Take: “Yeah coffee has me, and together we get things done. Tea is hot water that gave up halfway, and your thousand flavors all taste like lawn.”
Coffee's got me? Good! We've got goals, we've got a plan!
I ran four miles, I built a deck, I reorganized the van!
Five quiet minutes, that's your flex? Five minutes, doing what?
Watching a wet bag on a string with your eyes shut!
Hot water that gave up halfway and called itself a drink,
I've had more flavor from the rinse cycle in my sink!
A thousand flavors, lady, and they all taste like lawn!
I've done a week of work, and it isn't even dawn!
Round 2 — Lady Steep for Team Tea
Take: “Lawn beats a burnt-down shed, which is why you bury yours in syrup. And all that energy is on credit, because by 3 p.m. the bill arrives.”
A lawn? How sweet. Yours tastes of a burnt-down shed,
Hence the syrup, foam, and oat milk you pour on its head.
A week of work by sunrise? Darling, let's review your list:
You alphabetized the spices, and your one real call got missed.
Your hand shakes signing papers, and your eyelid's got a beat,
Your knee's been bouncing so hard it's shaking this whole street.
That's energy on credit, darling. By three, the debt comes due,
I paid in full at breakfast, and the interest is on you.
Round 2 — Double Shot for Team Coffee
Take: “Energy on credit? Fine, I refinance at the pot. Coffee keeps the night shift standing, and that bouncing knee is clean power. Your kettle hasn't even boiled yet.”
Energy on credit? Yeah! I refinance at the pot!
Debt comes due at three? I pay it with a shot!
Nurses, truckers, night shifts, who's keeping them awake?
Not your lukewarm cup of flowers and a tiny lemon cake!
That bouncing knee's a turbine, it's a clean renewable source!
I could light the block and still outrun a horse!
Your kettle's just now whistling and I've finished this whole verse,
You can steep in that loss, and the longer, the worse!
Round 3 — Lady Steep for Team Tea
Take: “You've never waited for anything, which is why your tongue is always burnt. Tea has real range, coffee has small, large and pumpkin, and all that hustle goes nowhere.”
The longer, the worse? You've never waited for a thing,
Your tongue's been burnt since Tuesday, and your lips still sting.
You brag about your deadlines like they're medals on a chest,
You can't sit still for dinner, that's not winning, that's just stressed.
Oolong, matcha, smoky black, jasmine in the steam,
You've got small, large, and pumpkin. What a very narrow dream.
You run all day, and darling, tell me, where'd you get?
A hamster has your hustle, and he hasn't gotten there yet.
Round 3 — Double Shot for Team Coffee
Take: “That hamster has cardio and drive, you sit so still we check for a pulse. I get a swan in my foam, you get a string, and your tea already went cold.”
A hamster, huh? That hamster's got cardio and drive!
You sit so still, we keep on checking you're alive!
You drink boiled leaves, which makes you basically a plant,
You want to run with me, but your roots say you can't.
You call it narrow? Cold brew, pour-over, flat white, drip!
I get a foam swan. You get a string and a sip!
Stay serene, Your Highness, sip it nice and slow,
Your tea went cold while you were talking, two bars ago.
