From shmiracles!

I think I’ve finally come into realization that I drink too much tea. Like there actually is a thing called too much tea, and this lady drank like 1-2 gallons of black tea a day and her bones became weak soooo I don’t want that to happen to me! Yeah I don’t drink only black tea, and I don’t even come close to a single gallon, but you can never be too careful, right?
So I’ve decided that during the weekdays, that’s my tea drinking days. And weekends are my strengthen my bones days where I drink all the milk and eat all the vitamins to attempt to strengthen my bones!
And yes, this is partially because I’m taking a Forensic Anthropology class and I’m learning about our skeletal structure and the different things that people do and how it effects our skeleton and I’m just.. I DON’T WANT MY BONES TO LOSE THEIR MASS. Like I’m already tiny enough so I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them strong ahha.
Seriously though. In Anthro, I just think about all the stuff I do and al lthe stuff I eat and what it does to my bones. My professor warned us about this. About how we’re just going to be thinking about the fact that WE’RE DETERIORATING EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE. It’s great. I highly recommend taking a Forensic Anthropology class if anyone has the chance :)

BUT THIS TEA.
Ahh I have so much tea to get through. This is close to a sipdown so I’m very happy about that :)
It smells nice dry. A bit like a sweet, yet dark candy.. if that makes any sense? It’s probably the blackberry and almond that I’m tasting. The hints of vanilla come out after, and it tastes like a faintly flavoured berry cookie. I could have done with a bit more blackberry and almond, and less vanilla because it’s a bit bland for me!

Flavors: Berries

Preparation
Boiling 3 min, 30 sec 3 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

Wow! What a change that is going to be. Have you thought about matcha lattes. Maybe the milk/soy will balance the tea. I haven’t heard much about green tea being being bad for the bones.
When I was in college ( a million years ago) I had to take a class in Functional Anatomy and Physiology while I was a Special Ed major. They spent a LOT of time on birth defects. All of us were scared to ever have children and worried about every thing we did. So I know how you feel. It is a good thing to follow your instincts about making changes. Good for you!

I don’t know about green tea, but when I read the article, I completely ignored the whole black tea but and just made it tea in general.
Ahh well. I do think I drink too much tea so maybe this may be a good thing? Everything is good in moderation so I’m taking wee baby steps!

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
