Last month, I talked about English people with their tea. However, I don't follow this tradition. It's because tea has caffeine. I won't be able to go to sleep after. Whenever I stay at a B&B, or when my friends or colleagues buy me a drink, I don't know what to get. If I know the person well, I may ask for the hot chocolate and feel a bit embarrassed. But if the B&B doesn't provide my favourite hot drink, or I don't really know the person, I may end up having water instead.
I remember there was a time I used to drink mint tea. I discovered it has caffeine, so I didn't bother drinking any kind of tea. Until last year, my friend came to visit me in the UK. She bought many souvenirs for her colleagues, especially fruit tea. I started drinking it because it doesn't have caffeine. I normally buy Twinings. It is because there are many different type of favour available. The most unusual one is Cranberry & Sanguinello Orange. It tastes like a kind of fruity soft drink without gas. Also, it is hot, not cold. Very interesting indeed.
Nowadays, when people offer me a drink, I have an extra choice of beverage.
