Don’t you hate it when you mishear someone and give them an answer that clearly states you’re an idiot? Yesterday at work, I was running on fewer than three hours of sleep (plus barely got sleep the night before that too) so I was nearly dead by the end of my last break that I took ultra late. A coworker, who was waving his bag of Quaker rice snacks around (and to be fair, just started making conversation with me after I was sitting in the room reading a magazine in silence for a while), apparently asked me if I was closing, and I somehow thought he asked me if I wanted one, so I said no thank you but went on in a humorous yet oddly rambly way about how I shouldn’t have one, and he looked at me like I was crazy. I think I especially feel bad because it made him then feel like he should offer me a rice snack. To make matters worse, I thought I’d try to explain how I’m sleep-deprived and caffeine does nothing for me (was drinking my second cup of coffee) and made a joke about how I’d probably need to graduate to cocaine in order to save me. It was so freaking awkward! I hate when a semi-functioning sleep-deprived brain puts you in embarrassing situations.

My point is that, caffeine or not, I end up being a dumbass so no amount of tea or coffee can save me from such situations. My mom accidentally knocked over and broke the glass Contigo I was using for bringing cold brews to work so for now I’ve been going without them at work. At least I happily chugged a whole jug of this at home over the past day and miss its tropical fruity vibe and green rooibos base. But holy moly, does this brew a lot more strongly than I remembered. I added 12g to an approximately 1.3 litre jug and the liquor was such a dark mossy green. Flavour-wise, the base was a little strong for a green rooibos too, so looks like I could get away with more like 7-8g next time. I kept refilling the jug after pouring a glass to try to dilute it so I got a lot of cold brew out of this in the end. Very glad they brought this one back since it’s been a long time since experiencing it.
