Coffee no more. Would you like a Cup of Tea instead?

Tea time is Me time

Enjoying a cup of tea while doing some work to keep me alert. Just love some “me time” with my cuppa. Would you believe that I used to love coffee when I was younger the really strong coffee, I love the aroma the taste everything about it. I was a coffee addict I suppose I live f or it morning noon and night. I thought life without coffee will never be the same. But 13 years ago, I got pregnant and had to give it up. Then one morning after the birth of my daughter I wake up and realised that I no longer like it, the smell of it makes me nauseous I can’t stand it anymore so just like that tea became my life. Do you ever loved something so much your whole life then wake up one day hating it? So what beverages do you enjoy the most and why? Please let me know.

I am a coffee lover myself. But I lessen my intake because I have hyper acidity. I also do not drink soda now. I drink lemon water and lemongrass tea

@rakski I don't drink soda either but drink a lot of fruit infused water. Makes water a little more refreshing.

I’m a coffee addict. There’s no days especially in the morning I could not start my day without a hot cup of coffee. But when gastric ulcer came to me, have no choice but to let go of the addiction. But sometimes I have only minimal.

@JustBhem sorry to hear about your gastric ulcer, but you are right you need to take care of yourself and make sure to have things you love to drink or eat in moderation as not to make your condition worsen.

@Janet357 that's so unfortunate. I used to wear perfume too but had to give it up because my daughter is allergic to anything perfume triggers her asthma and hay fever..

I don't recall just waking up one day and hating a beverage. I would do drink a lot of variety. Right now I drink a lot of water with fruit infusions. I am loving water with cucumber, lime and a little mint. I also have at least one cup of black tea and one cup of green tea a day, on the advice of my doctor.
