Oh yeah, I stay away from sodas as much as I can (except the very occasional Sprite during outings because how could I live without it). And I’m lactose intolerant, so I too prefer a savory treat to a sweet one. Tea has always been my one exception, though; I couldn’t tell you why.

I’ve dabbled with growing my own tea leaves, but it didn’t go very well. I definitely have a brown thumb…

I always forget chai is actually a tea. I’m so used to western teas, I guess.

You see, I’m weird and get bitter teas only to fill them with sweets like honey.

I love any and all earl greys. Can’t go wrong with ‘em.

This sounds cliche but parks/public playgrounds are lovely. I live near one and spend much of my downtime drawing, writing, or doomscrolling at it. They often aren’t too loud if you don’t live in a big city, and I love hearing kids play in the distance behind me. Occasionally, you might even have a nice conversation with a stranger.

Ooooo, I do like me some peppermint tea. I find it to be awfully seasonal, though.

Never heard of it. What’s it like?

Hm. Elaborate on that. I’m trying to learn more about the space.

Why’s that? Simplicity and low overhead? Or is it an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” situation?

I’m really new to this whole fediverse thing, but I’d love to know more. Could someone please explain to me what some/all of these applications are?

You’re gonna have to explain the elves one to me because what?
