And now I suddenly realised WHY I’m doing my backlogs out of order.
This is from this morning on the way to work. I was feeling really tired and in an oolong-y mood, so I made this for my travel mug today.
This tea is not suitable for travel mugs. I couldn’t smell it at all and when you don’t get the full experience, you just get a tea that has an annoyingly sour taste. It was drinkable, but suddenly, without the smell, it just turned all blah.
And here’s the reason for the out of order backlog.
I’m having second steep now. I saved the leaves mostly because I didn’t have time to clean out the pot before leaving, so I figured now that I came home, I might as well just steep them, having already learned that they can easily carry a second steep. I needed this. It’s just much much much better when I can get the full experience, and when I’m not putting two thirds of my attention into trying to wake up properly.
