I had this tea again – the vanilla infused version + cacao and it was amazing as always. I’m half tempted to just do the same with all the rest of my LB but i’ll hold off….FOR NOW. :)

Vanilla infused! And cacao! Sounds scrumptious – remind me what kind of vanilla you used for this delight? :)

Sil

haha uh whatever i can find in the grocery store? this particular one was madagascar i think? it’s been about 3?4? weeks sitting in it’s own tin with a half a pod split open…

caile

That sounds easy! Haha, I thought you chopped it all up and mixed it in or used that vanilla powder. I’m going to try this. :)

nope, bought a bean, cut it in half cause i wanted to try with 2 teas… each tea was dumped in to it’s own tin…about a half a cup or a whole cup… took the bean pod, split it down the middle but didn’t scrape the seeds out…just peeled back the casing a little and made sure the tea covered it when i let it sit… every now and then i shake up the tin and then leave it. Didn’t bother trying it until it had sat for at least 2 weeks…

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.
