When I was younger, I used to think that it was cool to drink plain black coffee.
Not because I actually liked the taste or anything.
It just felt like a sophisticated, grown-up order that I pictured a high heel wearer (who absolutely somehow never got blisters) would drink. I pictured she’d probably be blonde, and sips of that coffee would be so effortless, it’d be the coffee that needs her. Not the other way around.
This wasn’t me.
These days, I’m very happy to whip out a tea bag (Good Earth Tea and nothing less) in any social situation. I now feel entirely comfortable enjoying my tea in a pair of sneakers (or slippers, we’re all friends here.)
I feel particularly fabulous about it, because as the eco-friendly ally I’m trying more to be, Good Earth Tea bags are biodegradable (making every element of the packaging recyclable, not just the box), so I’m also doing the earth a favour.
