“I am addicted to tea leaves and tea bags

Lyubov Siryk, 20, from Limassol, Cyprus, has an unusual habit: eating tea leaves and entire tea bags. Her addiction started at age 14 after her grandmother suggested nibbling on mint leaves, which led to her trying regular tea leaves. Now, she consumes tea leaves up to twice a day and occasionally eats paper tea bags two to three times a week. Despite knowing the potential health risks, she prefers organic, paper bags. Although she once tried quitting, the cravings were too strong. Lyubov maintains a healthy lifestyle, with regular checkups, and doesn’t smoke or drink. She says, “I just have this one strange habit.”
