Is my tea stolen?

is there a term for white taste?
like white gaze
but an appreciation for the taste of dark skin
my tea might be stolen, you see
the product of slavery
a colonial tell
a capitalist sell
and the taste that white people develop
for all things not white
except for brown lives, of course
they don't seem to matter when it comes to white consumption
the deadly, unjust appropriation of everything of colour
except the lives that made them
understand that my tea comes at a price
far grander than the corporate sale
a tale of trade
a rand for pound of tea
