Tea Addict

While others devote themselves to coffee, I’d rather to drink tea. It’s light, it’s relaxing. For me..

When the coffee shop became a trend in Jakarta, I was one of the victim of trend. I was thinking, ‘what does it feels like to sit in there, talking about project with client, or just reading book nor newspaper.’

My first experience in a coffee shop, named Starbucks (hey, is there anyone who doesn’t know Starbucks? Yea, great marketing!). There are loads of different name of coffee and I had no idea of any. Okay, I was a 15 years old pre-teenage girl who tried to be cool in a coffee shop. And after making an order, I sat next to my sis. I said, ‘What a tiny cup of coffee!!! Expensive! Let’s see if the taste worth the price!!’

BLOODY HELL

IT’S BITTER

BITTER THAN MY LOCAL HERBS NAMED ‘BROTOWALI’

Info: brotowali is a name of a traditional herbal. Looks like a stick and you need to boil them, then drink the water. But be careful for beginners: it’s very bitter! VERY BITTER!! AAARRRGGHHH!! But if you get used to it, well, it’ll taste like mineral water (with a bit bitter taste in it). Good for cleaning your blood.

Back again, the coffee was an espresso. 100%.

I put loads and loads and loads of milk and sugar but it didn’t make any difference.

Naahhh… I decided not to be a coffee addict. Maybe yea.. twice a month. Light coffee like Nescafe or Sanka (decaf). I’d prefer JUST coffee. No moccacinno or cino cino cino whatever.

Back to the main topic, Tea Addict.

Hmm… I like tea.

Red tea
Black Tea
Lemon Tea (own squeezed lemon, not in a restaurant)
Ginger Tea ( hand made please! Good for throat, if you have cough.. I mean it! It’s GOODDD!)
Earl Grey Tea (once a month, special occasion, expensive!)
Teh Botol (Bottled Tea, a brand, available in Indonesia)
Tea with creamer like Coffemate, uuuuu…..

AND TEA TEA TEA!!!

Good for relaxing..

And hey, the tea bags is good for your eyes too. After a long hard day, you sometimes see a dark area under your eyes. Just put tea bags on it before you sleep (about 10-15 minutes). And it feels fresh after it. BELIEVE ME
