Nostalgia by consumption

It was the birthday of the girl I was dating. We made a huge dinner together, and I took her to a surprise birthday party an hour or so late. That weekend, we broke up. The next week, I bought a box of bagged teas that I used to drink in her room. I finished half of it before beginning to see her again.

I'm drinking this tea right now. Ordinarily, I only drink loose leaf teas. It's flavored "lemon ginger", but only contains "natural lemon and licorice flavors" and citric acid. It smells like pepper and cinnamon. I don't know why I drink this.
