Do you like tea?In the book Three Cups of Tea, the author drinks many cups of butter tea, a staple of the Balti diet. It is green tea with salt, baking soda, goats milk, and a sliver of prized aged rancid yak butter added. Yum! He said it smelled incredibly stinky and he gagged on it at first, but he eventually learned to like it, since all social and business transactions are conducted over pots of tea.
As hard as I try, I cannot stomach tea of any flavor. I'm glad that in America we rally around coffee instead.
Today I am practicing relinquishing, putting aside the things I feel I should be doing and reading instead.

I don't think I could stomach that kind of tea, either. I do enjoy tea. Chai is probably my favorite, although the kids gave me a loose tea for Christmas that I love. I still prefer coffee, but every now and then, it feels like a tea moment.
That sounds gross but I like a nice glass if iced tea in the summer.
I don't like tea either. I am having a hard time getting into that book even though I've heard fantastic reviews from everyone who's read it. Maybe I need to steal your word relinquish so I can not worry about other things that need to be done and focus on the book...
