my favorite hot drink
I grew up drinking Chinese tea. Not a lot of it although my grandmother would make a fresh pot every day and somehow that pot would be empty by nightfall.
Now I make a pot of Chinese tea every day except the days when I’m having Japanese tea or Korean ginseng tea or jasmine tea. Spoilt for choice is how I see it but lovin’ every sip.
The weather is insanely hot here that I almost never drink anything hot except for tea (coffee and soup). What’s wierd too is I have a sort of subconscious schedule for when I drink what tea.
When I’m having a crazy day and my stress levels are flying off the barometer, it’s either Japanese or Korean ginseng tea. They have an immediate calming effect on me.
On normal days, it’s Chinese tea, either oolong or tikuanyin or whatever I can find in my pantry. I drink my jasmine tea cold as I rush in and out on my endless errands. It gives me a temporary relief from the heat.
