My roommate Tara is a total hippie.
She wears clothing that is made from recycled materials. She makes her own soap, candles and deodorant. She also hates wearing shoes, a bra or getting her haircut. My roommate eats and drinks the weirdest things too. She is a firm believer of drinking a wide variety of teas everyday. When she first moved in, I thought she was insane. Her tea brewing equipment was extensive and ridiculous. She would brew different types of tea for a long time and multiple times a day. It seemed like around every meal and after work she would have tea bubbling. I did not mind it so much since the smell of some of her teas were pleasant. I finally talked to her about the excessive tea drinking and wanted to know her reasons. I figured on a normal hippie answer like it gives her inner peace or allows her to see into the beyond. Tara actually went into all the health benefits of the different teas. Her tea knowledge was shocking to say the least. She rotates from green, black, chai and herbal tea everyday. She changes what tea she drinks depending on her health or her mood. Certain teas are more relaxing while black tea would wake a person up. She now has me joining her everyday for one cup of tea. We have found that I am an herbal tea fan. Raspberry tea, rosemary tea, and dandelion root tea are right now in my favorites.
