Dulce & Banana from DAVIDsTEA
74

Backlog from last night! Feel Good ‘Tea’!

When I’m practicing good sleep hygiene this is the tisane I have before bed. I don’t know if it actually helps me fall asleep or if it is simply a necessary part of some sleeping ritual. I should drink this more often, although the fact that this is only available online makes me reluctant to use it up.

I don’t know if this is extremely “banana-y”; Its more chamomile, lavender, and coconut to me. I can’t distinguish the rooibos or lemongrass too well. Depending on what gets into the bag strainer it tastes more like some of those ingredients than others. I try not to use metal strainers with chamomile as it can make quite the mess. When I do get banana notes it is a hot caramelized dry kind of sweetness. It’s not perfect but has a comforting quality and contains some of my favourite ingredients.

Last night this tasted strongly of coconut and chamomile and I fell asleep quickly after finishing my cup. Magic! I wish this touch of the flu could be as easily solved. I just want to curl up, read Storm of Swords, and never leave the house. I could sleep all day, but I should go to my Ethnography class and watch those old videos on the Sami people until 9 o’clock. I should!

Thanks for the add, I love crows! And Doctor Who and Firefly and Verdant and Butiki and procrastinating (okay so maybe I don’t love that last one, but I’m very guilty of it)

I was skimming through reveiws and saw the name of this tea wrong. I thought it said Dolce&Gabanna and I was like “O.O designer tea?! Whaaaaat?! 8D” but alas, no designer tea. I do now wonder what tea Georgio Armani or would drink…

@Autumn Hearth,so many wonderful things listed in such a small space (and yes, procrastination is the contentious object on that list)! I look forward to reading your notes. :)

@Lady Of Spaydes, this tea is far from stylish, unfortunately. Now I’m curious too and would like to see a “designer tea”. It would probably be expensive :/

Bio

Tea is what gets me through being a professional procrastinator and an anthropology undergrad student (I’m better at one of those than the other).

I’ve only been exploring the world of tea for little over a year now so I’m still figuring out my preferences and steeping techniques! I can safely say I enjoy a good chai, fruity blends, creamy notes, white tea, and a nice Dragonwell, however. I either love or hate rooibos and chamomile makes me happy.

Besides tea, I like my books and TV series (usually sci-fi/fantasy), music, doodling, and skiing when I get the chance. I respect a good sense of humour and seasoned wisdom, two things I sorely lack. I also thoroughly enjoy birds. I’m a bit of a crazy bird person.

I don’t always respond in a timely fashion but if you see anything in my cupboards that you would like to try give me a shout!

Ratings (self-reminder):
90-100: Wow!
86-89: Great!
76-85: Good.
70-75: Ok.
60-69: Meh..
51-59: Not good.
34-50: Bad.
1-33: No words can describe how awful this is so I’ve resorted to numbers..
