drank Blueberry Zabaglione by 52teas
15912 tasting notes

So this one time, I loved this way more than strawberry zabaglione. Azzrian fought for strawberry but no….I would not b persuaded!!!

Then I learned how to pay attention when brewing things. And now…. Now I see the error of my ways. Blueberry zabaglione….I loved you once, now I love you a little less.

I’m a little loopy tonight. Wheeeee!

Totally did this as a cold brew and with a bit of sweetener this is like YO WOMAN! I AM BLUUUUUEBERRRRRY! Drink me! Yeah. Exactly like that. And so I did. And it was a glorious thing that tea and I together in blissful cold deliciousness.

Day got away from me. It want to curl up in the bed and go to sleep. Today sucked. Tea was great.

Butiki Teas

Same here. Today was horrible and my hubby had a really rough day too. Just gonna work out some of my anger on the elliptical machine and have a cup of expensive tea and watch the voting coverage under my fuzzy blanket. I hope your day gets better. hugs

Sil

Oh man this is sooooo good this morning. I added just a touch of french vanilla matcha to my concoction this morning and it’s perfect! I only wish i had a blender at work that I could borrow to have my smoothie in the afternoon as well. heh I really need to find time this weekend to review the 3? new matchas that i picked up the other day. But for now? for now i am relishing the creamy mocha goodness that is this smoothie today. mmmmmmm YUM!

drank Strawberry Pie Honeybush by 52teas
15912 tasting notes

Bumping up the rating on this one a little since it seems to be working for me in the evening this fall. Thankfully this is one of Frank’s permanent blends or i’d be annoyed lol. I had this last night before bed with a little popcorn and “walking dead.” we’re still catching up on last season – we’re always a season behind because we don’t have cable. It’s nice to be able to get some relax time with the other half given how crazy our days and weeks have been. What i wouldn’t give for a weekend where both of us weren’t working. blech. Anyway there is something about the strawberry in this tea that I am really digging. A little less cinnamon and it might just be perfect.

Autistic Goblin

I’ll have to start watching the Walking Dead on Netflix Canada I just haven’t gotten around to it yet :D It’s nice having a tea that’s in the permanent collection :D

I’m apparently too exhausted to be tea logging tonight. Nt going to rate this because I think there are those who would really enjoy this blend. It’s got a lot going on and appeals to me…until I drink it. I do love this more than the non winter version though. :) still enough for me to do another run through of the tea another night when I’m more alert and can really get some thoughts down…mostly it just comes across as being too…..floral? Or something for my preferences. But way better than normal 8 treasures heh

Bonnie

I liked this only with honey plain or as a base adding black tea (Laoshan Black) and with a little puerh nugget kind of like the breakfast summer blend idea. It was really good.

Sil

Mmmmm ill have to try that Bonnie. I love me some laoshan black heh :)

15912 tasting notes

nomnomnomnomnom yeah… this was the right choice this morning! I was almost going to go with a nice strong mocha smoothie but decided last minute to go with black cherry for that happy funshine fruit thing! Long day ahead of me so i’ll need my energy. HAPPY MONDAY WORLD!

Nik

“funshine” – I love this. =)

Autistic Goblin

Black Cherry is yummy! :D

drank Chai by Red Blossom Tea Company
15912 tasting notes

Holy sneezes and running nose this morning! I’m not sick but it’s almost like i’m allergic (probably to work). Finished a glorious weekend of working all weekend and now it’s back to the grind. Looking forward to getting back to the gym tonight though so that’s something. I picked this tea today because while it’s a nice chai – there’s a hint of citrus going on with it that vaguely reminds me of mulled spiced apple cider. I’m hoping this, with my morning smoothie will help jump start my day.

Nik

I’m so jealous. I wish I could look forward to working out. Blech. Gimme a couch on which to potato any day. =)

Sil

Nik – i’m with you there. Sadly I was on an uphill/unhealthy eating/not getting exercise swing and made a change last january in terms of eating better. That helped a bunch and for the past few months we’re now working on the getting exercise thing. I carry most of my tension and stress in my neck/back so i’ve found this is really helping to counteract that. It’s always a struggle to get there, but i know by the end of it i’m usually happy that i’ve gone..even if it’s just for 30 mins.

So no real clue what to write about myself here. A friend got me into drinking loose tea and it’s something I thoroughly enjoy though I have nowhere near the experience that many folks on the boards seem to have.

My other interests are cycling, reading, board games, disney cruises, world of warcraft and dancing – in no particular order. I love travelling as well!

Most of that is on hold these days though, including tea drinking like I used to as I have a new little one who eats up all my spare time.
