So my family ran out of tea the other day. We are absolutely freaking out. It's not like we cherish the existence of tea, okay; it's our way of living. :)
Tea is as big of a part to Bolivian culture as it is to the Brits. Because stereotypically, most Bolivian households would either have marmalade, this special bread, or tea. But honestly, it's usually all of it. The bread for the marmalade, the marmalade for the bread and the bread with marmalade or butter, all for tea time. Tea time is very valuable. The typical school day in Bolivia is actually the whole day. Morning to night. Of course, there would be an hour intermediate from 3PM to 4PM. This is the hour of tea time, where students can go home, drink tea, and go back to their studies. In this hour, there are also places that are packed. These places are dedicated to tea time.
So now, that I don't have tea time. And I won't until we go to the grocery store or when the US opens a tea time cafe, no coffee.
Always and forever, Natalie Nicole A.
