Noticed that I’d been having a LOT of blacks. This is because due to jetlag and the need to drive around trying to find a place, I have been operating on the principle that if I ingest even one non-caffeinated tea, I will just pass out. Still a little variation is definitely in order. Mixed black and green to the rescue!

Can’t say much about the taste because I did that thing where I completely forget about the tea I’m steeping and left it for, like, 20 minutes. Strong! Still, the second steep was certainly passable. This also finishes up my sample of this. Hmm, to get more or not to get more. Gotta decide soon before the mega super awesome teafrog sale ends!

Bio

I’m a Pole who grew up in Texas, is currently a graduate student in California studying Japan. How’s THAT for random?

Being Polish, my family has always drunk a lot of tea, and I am no different. I may drink more tea than water. On the other hand, I can’t say that I’m very particular about it; I’m generally pretty careless with steeping times and water temperature and I don’t even have a proper teapot (mostly because the lid broke during the move to California ;_;).

I always drink my tea unsweetened and I only add milk in the case of the most egregiously chai-ish of chais. (not really a big fan of milk in general)

Given that so many of my entries seem to be about my morning tea, I felt I should add something here about me and mornings: I fail at mornings. I fail at them a LOT. Therefore I often also fail at proper tea making in the mornings.
