I think I may have an addiciton. Not to a drug, or a hobby. No, I have an addiction to a beverage. It’s tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, I don’t know why I love tea as much as I do. It’s literally one of the only things I will drink, besides water and the occasional Sprite. Hot tea, cold tea, strawberry tea- in my mind, it’s all fair game. I love to slurp that dirty leaf juice.<\/span><\/p>\n

I usually drink tea before I go to bed. It helps calm me down, and gets me in a sleepy mood. I also drink tea during some of my literary classes- I just finished a cup a minute or so ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I have a caffeine addiction? I don’t think so, becasue I don’t really drink tea for the caffeine. I drink it for the *~flavor~* alone, honestly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some tea tastes like normal tea. It’s a special flavor, that leaf water from the gods. Just the right amount of a tang, mixed with sugar, but not too much, or else it becomes almost like syrup.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some tea has a fruit flavor added to it. Like tea with lemonade- that’s pretty good. Or tea with any sort of tangy fruit, really. I don’t usually drink it all that often, but when I do, it is a gift.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hot tea. Let’s talk about it. Oh my god.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been drinking hot tea longer than I have cold tea. My parents would make it whenever I had a sore throat- and because of allergies, I had a sore throat a lot.\u00a0Hot tea with honey was, and still is, a favorite of mine. I don’t think my childhood would be the same if I had never experienced the glory that is hot tea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know what you’re thinking: “wow, you’re really obsessed with hot tea.” And you’re completely right. I am obsessed with it. Maybe a little too much, if I’m being honest. But really, what harm am I doing?<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t put a lot of honey in my tea these days, because one time I got sick after I had put some in my tea, so these days I mostly stick to my good old friend sugar. Sugar is a friend. He really is sweet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay I’ll stop with the personification now. Maybe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What was the point of this blog? To tell of my love for tea. Did I do that? I like to think that I did, at least partially. If you take anything away, let it be this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
