I took to drinking "Heaven and Earth" Reunion tea during meals in school recently in the run-up to my exams. I guess this special edition drink is a marketing product primarily aimed at preying on consumers' health-consciousness and sense of tradition, since you can probably accuse the drink of being a green tea bandwagon jumper, and given the fact that it was launched around Lunar New Year this year canned in auspicious red.
I suppose I sub-consciously went for the unappreciated drink on the shelf initially given that it was no longer in fashion being three months past its prime. However the subtle honey taste that lingered on my tongue agreed with me so I saw no reason not to continue choosing it.
Out of curiosity, Nerves, who usually drank from her personal bottle of water, finally got a can for herself. "Hmm it’s nice." she said, impressed with what she had just tasted. After our meal her can was still half-filled. "It tasted lovely at first," she said, sipping the drink. "The second sip was still fine, but I found it getting more ordinary the more I drank."
"I guess that sums up your philosophy to life." I shrugged. "I’m not going to argue with you." she shot back.
