Because all proper tea is theft.

What's wrong with herbal tea?
Time to put on my obsessive, humorless noder hat.

The concept "property is theft" comes from Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, in his book What is Property? Proudhon was an anarchist, not a marxist, and the anarchist concept of property does not mean, "what one owns" like it does now. "Property" basically meant ownership of land, and everything else owned was "possession". Anarchists support possessions, and oppose property.

Well, I thought it was funny anyway.
