always tea for me....

I have never
and
I honestly mean it
had a cup of coffee
ever
~~
as a child I learned to love tea. my grandma would always make it for me with
just the perfect amount of sugar and milk and I would sit at her kitchen table
washing down warm cinnamon rolls with that tea
while I watched her iron pillow cases that she had just brought
in off the clothesline
~~
once as a young adult
a friend of mine "made" me a cup of coffee
swearing I'd love it
after she "doctored" it all up for me
and
it was horrible
~~
I have sipped my hubby's coffee
that he can't live without
and
it's horrible
~~
I have tried the flavor of the season coffee
at starbucks
and
it's horrible
~~
nope
no coffee for me
but
my tea
I'll invite you over anytime to have a cup with me

  4. I love the photo, I think having tea is an experience. I love my coffee, tea on an odd day with a sore throat with honey. That is about all I drink.

  5. I totally relate to this. I once sipped someones coffee accidentally and spat it straight back into their cup. I just do not like the taste of coffee.

  6. I love both...I think coffee is one of those acquired tastes - like wine or the like. It grows on you. But I love both

  7. My sister in law has never had coffee either... It amazes me! But tea is lovely too...although I could not live without coffee.

  8. Coffee is definitely an acquired taste. I didn't start drinking it until I was in my thirties.

    I never thought I would say this about a used, squished tea bag, but it's beautiful!
