In my attempt to drink less soda, I've been drinking a lot of tea lately. I've mostly just been drinking iced tea since it's been summertime. Now that it's been getting colder, though, I've decided to change it up a bit. Last week I purchased a variety box of tea bags to make warm tea with. I wanted to test out the flavors and see which ones I liked the best.

Last night as I was feverishly working away on the launch of Thad's new website I searched for some sort of stimulant to keep me awake. Since I don't drink coffee my first thought was to reach for a soda. Then I remembered seeing an 'awake' tea in my variety pack. So I boiled up some water and brewed myself some tea. I think the only thing about that 'awake' tea that kept me awake was the large quantity of sugar I had to pour in it to make it tolerable. The tea was nasty as hell. Who drinks that stuff!? Ewe! At least I now know the flavor of tea I will not be purchasing when my box runs out . . .
