Not an Afternoon Tea
Do you always do afternoon tea? It is an activity which is drinking a tea at afternoon with breathing a fresh air to fresh our mine (lol, of course). Afternoon tea makes our body relaxing after do something hard at morning. Especially we do this with few of cookies which still warm from the oven. As I know, afternoon tea originated from Europe. Exactly, from United Kingdom. It has a long story. But since long ago, afternoon tea use as a main menu for the formal party, or other social party (in fact, it always afternoon). Well, beside that. I am as a drinker of tea (what an idea), in my family never have afternoon tea (omg). My mom always gives my family tea time at morning before we do something, at 6 am. And my mom always gives the couple of ‘morning’ tea with a boiled egg. Why it must happen, boiled egg coupled with a tea (not milk, which is much of energy in it) when some people had given a bread with milk or rice with milk in the morning. But, my mom never tell me why she do this (hohoho, its okay, mom!!). I think it is family custom (what a family custom!!!) since my mom was child and I think ‘morning’ tea make me fell smarter than before (I don’t know why). As I know tea is Camellia Sinensis (a Latin name for the tea leafs) which is contains a type of antioxidant and don’t know what an important of antioxidant (lol). It is just my Family Custom. In fact, I love the color of tea leafs, its green (lol, again). So, are you an active 'afternoon tea' ?!.
