Now, I\u2019m aware that this is a controversial take, but just hear me out. Coffee is amazing. I love coffee, in fact I used to drink it
\neveryday. Then, I found tea, and my life was forever altered. Tea isn\u2019t just one flavor. There are countless varieties and blends of<\/p>\n

teas; from black, to jasmine, to green, to fruit teas. The list is seemingly never ending.<\/p>\n

I also like tea because it\u2019s just fun. It feels so relaxing to just brew yourself a cup of tea and chill out. I don\u2019t know why but I
\nalways associate coffee with rushing. If I\u2019m grabbing a coffee it\u2019s because I need energy or I need to do something. Having tea<\/p>\n

is quite the opposite.<\/p>\n

I was thinking about this a lot over break because I was on the Civic Engagement trip with Mahaan Govender, who is from
\nSouth Africa, and he drinks a lot of tea. I brewed tea one evening and it was fair to say the water was gray (like it is in certain
\nparts of campus right now). I\u2019m not sure how it was gray, seeing as it was supposed to be a herbal tea. I guess I still need to<\/p>\n

work on my brewing skills.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also started getting into buying the raw ingredients for tea. Instead of buying the value packs of tea, I save tons of money
\nand make the tea bags myself. I have a seeper and I just put some tea leaves in (my personal favorite is lavender right now) and<\/p>\n

voila. As the semester ramps up exponentially, it\u2019s incredibly nice to relax with a lovely cuppa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
