Honey Lemon from Tim Hortons
14

I’ve been drinking this for days while we’re on the road. Not by choice mind you. This is the 8th day I’ve had a cough that feels like my throat is being ripped out. Went to the emergency room when we drove through Ottawa and sadly it’s just a virus that I have to ride out. So this abomination of a tea it is!

Please note that I tried to make a tea in the hotel, and it tasted like coffee water due to the water being boiled in a coffee machine of course.

Cherry on top? We’re going to Halifax tomorrow… and the guy who was going to sublet us his apartment had “something come up” so he needs his apartment back. So we’re homeless! Yay!

Not quite, we have 4 days (3 really) until April 1st to try to get a Halifax apt, meanwhile we can sleep on my boyfriend’s sister’s floor. So… it could be worse, right?

Had to come on Steepster and read tea reviews to calm myself down, so far so good. Thanks for being awesome, Steepsteriends.

Being sick while traveling is the worst! I hope you (Daisy and Dinosara) get better quick so you can enjoy your travels better.

GAH! That’s awful! I hope you can find a place quickly. Luckily university is close to being out, so at the very least I’d expect short term subleases to be available soon?

Also, get better!!

There are 3 DTs in Halifax, if nothing else! There are lots of rentals kicking around, since this is a university city but I like to warn people to watch out for buildings with a lot of turnover – we’ve been stuck with bedbugs twice so far because of inconsiderate neighbours and it’s really turned me off “city living.” Best of luck – and maybe don’t go for a Killam property if you can help it. They have tonnes of buildings, but they don’t really care for their tenants.

Thanks Uniquity – we heard the same advice from my boyfriend’s sister a few days ago. But good news – we have a place! It’s on.. the.. west.. I have no idea where it is. But the address is on Willett street, kind of near Bayers Lake area, and I looove it. No bedbugs (we were super careful as we could be able that, have had them before and they ruin everything _ ), and every Killam property we phoned – the person was super curt and not willing to help us with our situation at all. So we totally got lucky!!

Can’t wait to make a DT trip, but I guess we should buy some stuff first haha!

Bio

You can call me Daisy.

I’m a 24 year old (not so budding) thespian – just moved to the Maritimes from the Saskatchewan Prairies. I’m way too polite, aka Proud to be a Canadian. I love it here by the water – it must remind me of tea or something ;)

My favourite tea companies are DavidsTea and Verdant Tea. They please my palette in different ways – and I love them both for it.

My rating system is as follows:
95-100: I will stock it as soon as I can, if I haven’t already! Permanent collection worthy.

86-95: I would stock this tea if I could, but my collection is just too full to warrant it. But it is that good.

76-85: This is a tasty tea and I will have many cups and share with friends, but won’t go out of my way to keep it stocked.

50-75: It was alright! It was… alright! Not horrible, but I might not re-steep.

25-50: Ew. But I will finish the cup.

1-25: Please no, I want to dump it.


The Steepster community is my safe place. Thank you to all my tea friends!
