No Sugar, Etc.

Throughout my tea drinking life, I have prefered sweetened tea - honey, sugar, natural (brown) sugar, splenda, sweet n low, and in less evolved days, the blue stuff.

Over the past 16 months, I have bought and used boxes of splenda. It's reasonably sweet and lacks that overwhelming artificial taste.

Sometime this summer, I just stopped. No sugar, etc. I think that may have been the turning point from tea drinker to tea junkie.

I was still buying and drinking expensive loose tea, just sweetening it, and, in the case of chai, adding milk.

Now, nothing.

Just tea in a tea cup.
