drank Earl Grey (Decaf) by Tetley

Made with too much milk & sugar, but that’s okay. I am legit TOO LAZY to clean out my tea strainer now, so I had to choose something bagged. Saaad.

Crowkettle

I have days like that. I even bought bags for my loose leaves in preparation for my laziness.

Ozli

CLEVER! I should get me some of those.

TeaLady441

That’s a great idea! :) I have tea in bags for days like that…

I brew this one really strong. I like that it’s not a sweet tea. It’s easing the pressure in my chest, augh. At least I am not boogers-sick.

drank Alpine Punch by DAVIDsTEA

Had this tea last night while watching Elementary (LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH) and mostly remembered to drink the whole thing but a little bit got lukewarmish – noticed the coconut is really present when it cools down! (Bonus?? Iced??)

I napped SO MUCH yesterday and slept in until almost noon today, I hope I am on the mend. :/

Ozli

Huh, it’s funny looking at the rating & yeah, enjoying the heck out of that tea last night, how I never remember I really like this one. I read the name/look at the pouch and think, ehhhh. But OBVIOUSLY I really like it. Don’t like the name, though. It is now called FRUITY COCONUT.

TeaLady441

Haha. Re-naming it is a good idea! I’d probably go with Almond Coco Blast, or Mountain Marzipan. I love the coconut but I’m super aware of the almonds.

Ozli

Ok welll, you’re obvs way better at naming things than me! :P Those are both great names :-O

TeaLady441

Haha well I obvsly have the advantage if you’re feeling sick.

drank Cocomint Cream by DAVIDsTEA

Then I made some of this tea when I thought I was probably past the worst of it and FELL ASLEEP WHILE IT WAS BREWING which is UNCOOL, as it is my favourite. :/ I hate being sick.

TeaLady441

Awww… :( Do you use your microwave timer when you’re brewing? Maybe that would wake you up?

Hope you’re feeling better soon!!!!

TeaLady441

I don’t think J and I are doing Xmas presents this year, so I’m tempted to buy a tin of this for myself and wrap that up.:)

Ozli

Well, if my phone is near to hand I’ll use that timer, but a lot lately I’ve just been winging it. :/ Space case.

That sounds like a really good xmas plan! :D

TeaLady441

:( I am too. That’s why I HAVE to use the microwave timer. It’s easier than setting my phone at least: #lazy #OrOCD?

(My Xmas plan may include one of DavidsTea perfect mugs – I want a big mug and my old steeping basket sometimes opens up as I’m lifting it out of the tea, ruining everything!)

Ozli

We don’t have a microwave and I can’t figure out how to make the stove clock fall back, so let’s not even go there :P :P :P My phone IS really easy though.

Eeeee! Nice! Which one??

TeaLady441

I’m undecided. I like this heat-sensitive one: http://bit.ly/YxKi0Z but this Nordic style is pretty nice and holds more: http://bit.ly/VdBzJX

And not having a microwave is a great excuse. No one wants to mess with the clock stove!

Ozli

Lol, I felt like such a dumbass after I posted about the stove that I got all >:[ and FIGURED IT OUT. \o/?

Oooh. Those are so pretty. I’d go for the first one, if it were meeeee, I like the shape of them.

TeaLady441

\0/

And I like the shape of the first one better too. Maybe I’ll luck out and they’ll still have the bigger size in the fall print when I go to the store …

So I started getting sick and I thought I’d have this tea, so I made some and walked off and found it a half hour later. Augh.

TeaLady441

I drank some of this today and paused for a moment to remember your lost cup.

Ozli

Aw, man, thanks. It means a lot.

I’ve never been a fan of English Breakfast but this is really kind of blah. It’s a cleaning out the cupboard cup ;)

drank Winter Wonderland by Shanti Tea
299 tasting notes

When dry, it smells exactly like egg nog! Then mostly cloves/black tea after steeping. Sadness. Yummy though; I like it with a bit of sugar.

TeaLady441

Awww. I hate those teaser teas. That’s (part of) why I don’t buy tea from DavidsTea purely based on how it smells.

Ozli

It kinda worked out because I don’t really like egg nog? So it took me a while to figure out the smell aside from “sweet” and “disturbing” hehehe but it’s pretty good! Having a mocha rn, tsk tsk! Kelly bought me a box of those Starbux Via packets.

TeaLady441

:p Those sound pretty good too. I think I should get fancy today and make a latte. But I’m thinking a nap would be great too. #decisions #doboth?

I shouldn’t like this tea. Damn cloves, and oranges. But it’s good. >:(

I’m not actually grumpy about it, though. It’s too good to be grumpy about. Gonna sit on the couch and watch Christmas movies with a cat on my chest.

Bio

I drink a lot of tea (and coffee!) and do other things sometimes, like hug cats (3 black cats!) and homeschool a child (the Snick, Snickety Snickface the Sharkboy) and make art and draw things and watch too much television and pretend I’m not home when people knock on the door!

I LOVE A LOT OF THINGS.

My ratings probably skew high because of this, but I can’t help being optimistic, it is the natural way of things.
