"My body responds very well to tea."

What role does tea play in your daily life or routines?

For the last year, I have been having tea every morning; whether it's matcha, or chai, or another kind of black tea.

My body responds very well to it.  

Is there a particular tea that holds special meaning for you? Why?

Kind of. What came to mind is my fathers tea ritual.

He has a raspberry zinger tea almost every morning. The tea is a bright red color after it has steeped for a bit.

It makes me giggle because it is such a bold color! 

How has your relationship with tea evolved over the years?

I have always liked tea; my relationship definitely has had different chapters.

Right now it is my morning buddy for sure. 

If you could share a cup of tea with anyone—past, present, or fictional—who would it be, and why?

I think I would have a cup of tea with Orna Guralnik because I find her clinical psychology practice incredibly impressive.

I would plead to have her psychoanalyze me up and down!
