Organic Earl Grey from Mighty Leaf Tea
68

The graduate advisor emailed me a while ago, asking that I give her my CV in less than two days so she can send it off so I could be considered for some fellowship. Seeing that I haven’t had the particular outlay of CV the committee would like, and I just moved here so my stuff still isn’t organized, I started ripping through my suitcases to find transcripts and what not, and in the process, came across this teabag I got from a hotel. Sweet! Something to drink while I try to come up with a relatively decent CV.

I added milk to this, because actually, I had this while I was staying at the hotel, and I remember it tasted really burnt. It tastes a little better this time. The bergamot isn’t overwhelming but it’s distinctly bergamot. It’s not as burnt as before too. It’s not all that well-rounded though. A little astringent but it’s full-bodied. Eh, I’ve had better Earl Greys, but I’ve had worse too.

I “discovered” a bunch of tea while I was packing for my move 4 months ago. Isn’t it great? It’s like a little reminder to calm down amidst all the madness. Good luck with the CV and the fellowship application!

It IS a great feeling! Like a mini-Christmas.

Thanks, I need all the luck I can get. I’ve been running around like a headless chicken haha. :)

Bio

Tea pretty much pwns my soul.

Other than tea, my other favourite things in life include music, essential oils, cosmetics, movies, and, well, knowledge, I guess. Knowledge is power.

I study languages, primarily Germanic languages, and to narrow that down even more, Scandinavian languages. Biology was (is still?) another passion of mine but something in me wanted to go down the linguistics route instead.

I like my tea black just like my metal.
