36-My Strange Addiction — Tea

© Carol Labuzzetta, 2018.

Every day of my adult life that I can remember has started with a cup of tea. This started during high school when my girlfriends and I would drink tea in the morning after a sleepover.

It continued throughout college, into married life, being a young mother, and now into middle age. If I don’t have my tea, I feel off. Mid-morning I switch to coffee. By late afternoon I cannot have any more tea or coffee or else I risk a sleepless night.

I’ve tried organic tea, herbal tea, and all kinds of teas — black pekoe is my favorite. I like it hot and I like it cold. I like it when it’s hot out in the summer and, while I’m freezing in the winter.

Today, I had breakfast tea, at lunch in Dublin, Ireland.

I cannot go a day without tea.

Tea is my strange obsession.
