I love tea.
I think it might be my one true vice.
So when I moved to South Korea I knew there was little chance of getting my favourite English brand of tea at any cost. But thanks to my dearest mother I left the UK with a bag full of about 100 teabags.
Thankfully customs didn't take them away from me. Could you imagine the scene at Incheon Airport, the single white girl with blond hair and blue eyes spread eagle on the cold clean airport floor, crying, screaming, making such a fuss the only thing they can do is shoot her. Ok, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but you get the picture.
But I did ration myself. It took me a week to find milk, so I didn't have tea for a whole week. And then when I finally found some I only allowed myself one teabag a day. And I am most definitely not a teabag recycler.
A teabag is to be used only once to get the full effects of it's loveliness!
So, I tried and I tried not to use them too much, but slowly I got back into my old routine (well, by far not as much!) and I was drinking about 3 cups a day. Especially after getting in from the gym or to calm my nerves before The Monster's class on Tuesdays and Thursdays!
Imagine my delight when on Saturday, while in Pohang, I stubble across this...
OK, so it's not my favourite, but 7 weeks in I can't be complaining about anything. And it is TESCO Finest! And dang it tastes sooo good. I'm trying to replace my normal favourite tea with this and only use them in emergencies.
Oh, how I love tea!
I should have bought a few boxes, I'm sure I'm almost 1/4 way through this one - and it's only been 4 days :s
Love....
ps please note that I couldn't even wait to take a picture before I opened it up!!! That's desperation! And if anyone suggests I give up tea for lent I might cry! In Korea I've given up so much yummy home made food I just need one comfort, something of normalcy in a very random South Korea :)
Power to the Tea lover x x
