I had a bit of a frustrating day today, though it’s really no big deal. I accidentally wore my work shoes home though, instead of remembering to change into my hardcore snow boots (I have Bogg boots—they’re the best!) so of course I pretty much slid all the way home, teetered up my front steps, and begged the world to let me collapse into a cup of this sweet, warm deliciousness. Regardless of which teas come and go in my lifetime, I suspect I will always, always have some of this on hand. The flavouring of the caramel and vanilla are so perfectly married to the assam that I almost have trouble classifying this as a flavoured tea—it just tastes as though this is just how the plant tastes! I like it even more than the wild mountain black, although that one is delicious in a different way.

I hate Mondays.

Mondays do suck. I’m glad you have this tea (one of my favorits) on hand.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
