I’m sick and pretty unhappy about it, so I went off and bought some tea today. Apparently every Chinese person’s response to “I’m sick” is “Drink lots of tea. Don’t drink cold things, they’re bad for you…once you’re better I will take you to drink beer.”
While I shouldn’t be surprised by the variety of teas that are sold here, I totally am. I’m not gonna lie, I was expecting 3, maybe 5, different choices of tea and instead I find 3, maybe 5 quajillion (seriously, it’s a real number, I counted).
Black tea, Green Tea, Jasmine, Crysanthium (I think I made that one up, but you get my drift). So, I did what any indecisive person does: I bought about 25 boxes of tea – each box containing about 25 packets. So yes, I am now the proud owner of 625 tea packets.
Assuming that I drink about 2 cups a day, then I’ll be done in about a year.
Tea party, anyone?
