Hater Jueves: Tea

As part of my New Year's resolution, I've decided to drink less coffee and opt for healthier options, such as tea. I thought I had this whole tea thing in the bag since I used to be an avid tea-drinker as a teenager. Whenever my Grandma would concoct a tea beverage such as manzanilla or hierbabuena, I was able to drink it until the very last drop.

The very first day back after New Year's, $cruz and I order tea to start our mornings. I had ordered regular green tea and loaded it up with lemon and honey. It tasted alright so I drank it all. Then it hit me, I started to feel super nausous and barfy. I excused myself and took a break from work to go get a bagel because I thought I drank my tea too fast. I tell myself not to puke in the elevator, because to be honest, I was ready to let it all go in there. It wasn't until I got outside and puked in some shrubbery that I felt a lot better. Thanks, tea. I tell $cruz what happened and she tells me she didn't even finish hers because it was so gross.

Today, I wanted to give tea another shot. I drank green tea with lemon and ginger already in the tea bag. The ginger flavor was so strong it reminded me of sushi. It also stung the back of my throat. Ugh, eff you tea. You think you're all high and mighty because you're healthy and pretentious people drink you.
