Yesterday at work, as I usually do with my colleagues, we went to the afternoon to have coffee. I am already in a routine or "ritual", since every day I get a coffee with milk and like some cookies "Passatempo" (it is a type of wafer here in Brazil).
Well, however, one of my colleagues recently started replacing his coffee with tea. Then every day he picks up a different tea ... Fennel, chamomile, strawberry, lemon balm ...
I always ignored or joked about his craze.
But yesterday was different. I felt tempted to try this damn tea he drinks every day.
Except that the experience was awful. I do not know if it was the taste (lemon balm) or the lack of sugar, but it was difficult to drink that water with the taste of grass.
Maybe it was just a bad first experience, because today I got another taste, I added a few drops of sweetener and the feeling was already better than yesterday.
Any suggestions of tea, or some different taste that exists in the place you live?
I was the same when I tried tea for the first time! My best friend would always order an unsweetened black tea and I'd always comment and criticize her since I thought it was so bitter and distasteful. I currently drink both coffee and tea. Coffee was first and I have it much more often then tea since I have a cup every morning. I've come to love having an afternoon tea as it's a calming way to ease into the latter half of my day. Just like coffee, I slowly built my "tolerance" and adapted to loving the taste of tea. When I began drinking coffee I always put some sugar and then quite a bit of cream. As time went on, I cut back on the amount of cream/milk I use and stopped using sugar. Now I will order doppio espressos regularly.
As with tea, I started drinking it by adding sugar/sweetener and the stronger tasting the tea was, the heavier I added the sweetener. I was not a fan of black teas and only would choose from the green tea category. I don't know much about the difference between them also white teas and oolong teas. All I knew was green tea tasted better than black. One thing I do know is that black teas generally have more caffeine than the others. After a year or so I was taking black tea unsweetened I now will drink a hot or iced black tea in place of coffee anytime I want a boost of caffeine but not a coffee.
Moroccan mint seems to be pretty common and it is definitely one of my go-to green teas. With black tea I tend to prefer one that is fruity like a mango black tea. If not that, English breakfast is great and is very good sweetened too.
Acho que Passatempo não combina com chá mesmo :-) Valeu!!!
