So, as many of you are aware, I enjoy Earl Grey tea quite a bit. In fact, it is my go-to tea for when I make a pot for myself, as I did just recently.
I also enjoy caffeine. Thus the reason for consuming tea when I am tired, as I am at the moment.
It is fortunate, then, that Earl Grey tea has caffeine in it, yes?
Well.
I put the tea bag into the tea pot and, as I waited for the water to boil, noticed something that caused me to literally recoil in horror.
I had purchased decaffeinated Earl Grey tea.
To make matters worse, I purchased this tea a month or so ago and have been drinking it quite consistently since. There are only five or six bags left.
This means I have consumed fourteen or fifteen cups/pots of tea - making them myself, mind - without ever noticing the banner proudly proclaiming "Decaffeinated" on both the box and the packet containing the individual tea bags.
I am profoundly glad that I don't have a job wherein peoples lives depend on my observational skills, for they are apparently sub-par at best.
That is all.
