What in the name of king and country is this nonsense?

There's a few ways to interpret this question.

'Smooth' and 'Chunky might refer to the size of the leaf. More processing often means cutting the tea leaves into smaller pieces, but you can also get whole leaves.

'Smooth' tea might be tea with no added ingredients. 'Chunky' tea could be tea that has fruits, nuts, or other infusions included.

'Smooth' tea might refer to teabags, while 'Chunky' could be steeping loose. 'Chunky' tea may also be the practice of not removing the leaves before consuming.

'Smooth' might refer to powdered tea like matcha - although if we are talking about matcha then the preparation involves whisking away clumps. In which case the 'smooth' matcha tea can be prepared with only a light stir to be served 'chunky' style.

'Smooth' might refer to a less bitter flavour. 'Chunky' might refer to a stronger flavour, particularly if the infusion is somehow exotic.

The most fun interpretation is that this a joke, in which case I like mine to be smooth, but a little chewy
