I am so tired I could cry. Have you ever been that bone-exhausted? And you want to know what’s worse? I don’t even have such bad hours. I work ordinary business hours and am part of a choir that rehearses once a week for three hours. And then on top of that I just have normal social commitments, but seriously nothing too over the top, and I’m still so exhausted I just want to run away.

This tea did not make anything better this morning. It has lost 100% of its flavor, and is not even recognizable anymore. Let this be a lesson to me, and you, and whoever else wants to learn, to never hord tea unless you can, like, vacuum seal it or something. Because it backfires, and you lose.

Yup, all gone. I had like 4 oz left, and had to toss it all out. It was not even a little bit salvageable.

have a good day, guys!

I have a lack of energy quite a lot of the time – fresh veg & fruit in a nutribullet blender helps me out a lot. Getting my energy from other foods doesn’t seem to work for me.

I feel that way almost all the time, and like you I have ordinary work hours and not too much in the way of other commitments. I think my body just isn’t cut out for full-time work. And that’s awful about the tea, too—much as it kills me to do it, I’m working on sipping down my remaining Butiki stash in hopes of avoiding something like this.

Thanks for the suggestion, rasseru and sad that you can commiserate, green tea! It’s frustrating, because being exhausted all the time isn’t exactly a sympathetic problem. And yeah guys, losing this tea was very sad. At least there was no hint of it to remind me of what I don’t have anymore though—it was that “gone”.

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.
