Cider Guayusa from Butiki Teas
68

Quit my job and it feels grrrrreat! Need to prioritize and focus on school, plus my mom isn’t well and it would be nice to spend time with her over the holidays as opposed to working. Speaking of which, happy holidays!

I’ve had this maybe eight times by now and never knew what to really say about it. The taste reminds me more of apple cider vinegar than actual apple cider. Very tangy and kind of surprises you with every little sip. The cinnamon is more pronounced in here too.

The guayusa itself works, let me tell you. I drank two strong cups of this near supper time and probably didn’t fall asleep until 4am that night.

Sorry to hear your Mum isn’t well. Sounds like some quality tea times are to be had :)

I hope your mom feels better soon. And congrats on the job quitting! Sounds like it wasn’t worth your time and energy. Did you really get a vinegar taste from this one? That’s strange.

Thank you all so much. My mom is going to need some serious surgery soonish so in the meantime, let’s hope things will be manageable.

Quitting the job was bitter-sweet! It was a job that meant a lot to me but it just wasn’t worth it anymore.

And yeah, for some reason, it really did taste slightly vinegary. It was very mild but still enough to take me by surprise. It was just too biting to really classify it as an actual cider.

Aw jeez. Surgery is never fun. I hope it goes smoothly!

I hope that your momma is doing better! Good call on the job quitting… school is more important for now!

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.
