Re: Hot Drinks!

Hot chocolate is my personal fave, although if you plan on drinking it frequently the sugar content probably isn't good for you. You can keep a canister or individual packets at your desk and they come in lots of flavors - Land O'Lakes has raspberry, hazelnut, french vanilla, caramel and mint, off the top of my head. They're all quite nice.

And take the advice to buy loose leaf tea with a grain of salt, lol. People who are super into tea tend to be... kind of elitist about it. As if OH NOES USING BAGGED TEA IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN EVER!!! It's hilarious. That said, be aware that ordinarily black teas are more robust than herbal teas, but the decaf versions can be wimpier tasting. You might have to experiment. Lean more toward British brands (they also tend to have larger tea bags, which makes a difference) and go for a longer steep, say 4-5 minutes. Make sure you're using properly boiling water, not hot tap water or the microwave.

Ugh yes. I love loose teas but I also like some bagged teas and people who are acting all dogmatic about it annoy me. They usually aren't just elitist about it but massively condescending as well. Not just about tea bags vs. loose tea but also when it comes to flavoured tea (which is evil and omg proper tea drinkers WOULD NEVER). Just let people drink their tea however they like!
