Tea

[Quantavius]

I'm addicted to coffee. But tea with ginger is awesome.

I take my tea like I take... no, never mind.

Apparently, the likes of tea (and more obviously coffee) aren't recommended by those leading a spiritual lifestyle. Previously, I only ever heard Sikh mahapurash say it wasn't worth drinking, but recently I've noticed western New-Age types also talk about how tea should be avoided.

Hmm yes that's wat I heard too, also noticed many people have black tea without milk.

Do u remember why it should be avoided?

I can't recall specifics, but apparently the caffeine in tea isn't desirable. It's meant to be almost a drug of sorts. Of course, it won't damage a person like hard drugs, lol, but I think it disturbs an individual's spiritual equilibrium if you're into that sort of thing.

Put it this way, tea is loved and consumed in considerable quantities by the English. How many of them have darkened their skin tone by drinking it, lol?

Although, they don't put bare masaleh and meveh into their tea like we do, so who knows!

I drink mostly Yogi Lemon Detox or Tazo Zen

I think everyone already knows green tea is good for you, but a good article on it if anyone wants to learn more:

Talking of caffeine, I tried some Coca Cola yesterday after 3years of not having it . Omg it was awful only managed one gulp. How on earth do people drink that, too sweet yukk.

I drink strictly chamomile tea.

I don't drink tea or any coffee, never going to take anything that can be somewhat addicting

chamomile tea is not addicting at all.
