My Favourite Drink
By peace | November 14, 2007
Yesterday was quite an usual day. I broke the eggs when they were brought back home from NTUC Fairprice and after that I broke the jar, my favourite jar. The picture above shows the broken jar. The picture below shows the ‘complete’ jar, but it cannot be used anymore. I had to buy a new one. I had bought this jar for making tea, my favourite drink.
I drink Oolong tea and Iron Buddha (Tie Guan Yin). These are my two favourite tea. I do not like Jasmine tea or Pu Er Tea. I do not like sweetened tea. They spoil the taste of tea. I do not like to use the small tea set for making tea. It is too small and too little. I like to drink more. I simply love the aroma of tea.
Before I bought this jar above, I bought this glass for making tea. I bought tea bags. They are easy to be made. I like the ‘trishaw’ brand of tea, but there were no stock the last time I went shopping for grocery. There are only Lipton Iron Buddha Teabag at Shop N Save. So I bought that. I had tried once before, and they are okay, though not as good as the ‘trishaw brand’.
I started drinking tea when I was in the secondary school. My parents love to drink coffee. I do not like coffee but I do not detest coffee. I hardly drink coffee but I do drink coffee. Richard likes to drink coffee, but now he also drinks chinese tea — and that explains why I buy the big jar!

A short note about Coffee
Coffee has a strong and special aroma. It is very nice, but I too not like it. When I was young, my mother always search for the best coffee powder. I get to see different types of coffee beans, of different quality and prices. There are big and small coffee beans and different colours and different aroma too. Coffee beans are all brown to me. I never know and never thought of where coffee beans come from.
It was until I was in the university, during one of the botany class which I learned about Coffee plant. I never seen a real coffee plant before. However, our lecturer had shown us a branch of coffee plant, with bright red coffee fruits. That create awareness and brought light to me that coffee beans come from plants! (this is something which I really never thought of and never ask my mother before. It never crossed my mind even!)
