After receiving a box of Great British Tea and a tin of assorted biscuits from a friend overseas I began to ask myself why I was repeatedly subjecting myself to weak generic American mud coffee day after day. As of late, I've found myself watering down the coffee as much as I can and diluting it with Almond Milk. I then further mask its taste by dumping in an excessive amount of sugar. What the Great British Tea quickly revealed to me is that all this time I've been trying to make my coffee taste like tea!
Today I replaced my 3 daily cups of discount shop work-day coffee with a few cups of black tea with cream and a tiny dash of sugar. Almost instantly, my usual anxiety subsided, my pace slowed, and I found myself enjoying the tea instead of pouring coffee down my throat.
But something important was missing from this first day of making the switch. And that was the accompanying proper English biscuit. Thankfully, our area Wegmans had an Emergency English Kit in stock in their international section. Now I'm ready to perform the sacred ritual as it should be.
