[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously I'm not going to cancel the event. But I feel like it is not difficult for them to just buy tea as a basic level of service for their customers.

To be clear-- I am not talking about only my own needs.  I am certainly not the only person in a conference of 300 people who drinks tea.  [/quote]

Is the conference going to be attended only by UMC females over the age of 60 who live in urban areas of blue states?

If so, tea is a must-have.

Sorry for being so snarky, but you’re in a bubble.

Tea (esp hot tea) is consumed by a very small subset of the population. Not at all surprising that a resort wouldn’t stock it.[/quote]

You are extremely wrong about that.  First, coffee dominance is a purely American thing.  Around the world, tea drinkers vastly outnumber coffee drinkers.  You might think this is irrelevant in the US, but we have a large annual legal migration into the US and many of them bring their hot drink choices with them.

And here are some actual numbers (note, only relevant bullets have been cut & pasted):

There are many tea drinkers out there.  I would guess that out of 300 attendees that somewhere between 75-100 will be tea drinkers, that drink tea exclusively over coffee. 
Additionally, your assumption that tea is only drunk by older suburban women is wrong, too.  Millennials attendees will predominantly drink tea even over coffee. [/quote]
