I have a raging headache to accompany my abdominal cramps, and so of course I’m feeling terrific. I know I say this constantly, and i’ll say it again: i want to go hoooome!

But this tea was a sipdown for me! sip downs don’t happen too often in my life because I don’t include sample amounts to my cupboard, so when I’ve sipped something down, it usually means i’ve sipped down a largeish quantity of tea, which was the case here. I remember saying I would reorder this one, and I still may. But I’ve come to realize that rather than need a specific tea in my cupboard, I often mean that I need a tea type in my cupboard. I pretty much only take flavoured teas to work, so I’ll certainly always need several on hand to rotate between, and this was a good candidate while it lasted. So, if the mood strikes and the price is right, I’d probably add a bag of this to my next order, but if I find something else that’s similar in the meantime, I might not.

Despite the fact that i overleafed a bit, i was really crouching around at the bottom of the bag, so my tea tasted a little “dusty” this morning. Even still, I could still taste traces of that blueberry and brown sugar and crumble, and the addition of milk only thickens things up nicely. Drinking this tea is like drinking blueberry crumble drenched in cream, with a hint of blueberry perfume that verges on soap in the nicest way possible.

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.
