Way back when, in college, I first really started getting serious about tea. I really started drinking it in college and at my first “real” job. I remember my coworkers teasing me, “Are you going to have some tea with your sugar?” when I added 3 spoonfuls of sugar to my hot tea. Back then I could afford the calories. I was drinking Bigelow Cinnamon and Constant Comment (tea bags) at the time.
Even before that, I got my love of tea from my sister. Her tea was good. My grandmother’s tea was not. By the time I came along she had quit using sugar and it was very bitter – which I have since learned happens when you overbrew the tea. It’s surprising that a lady born and raised in Kentucky couldn’t make tea worth a darn. So basically, we have my sister to thank. She was big into natural foods even before it was cool. She even started a food co-op back in the ’70s.
Anyway, I never learned to enjoy coffee. To me, it’s the only thing in the world that smells good and tastes bad. So, tea it is!
