aisling of tea drank Bravissimo by DAVIDsTEA

So I saved last night’s leaves for a second steep this morning and am so sad. Either they lost their potency overnight, or I didn’t steep them long enough. Either way, it’s very weak this morning. Bravissimo will stay one of my favourites, I’ll just start with new leaves each morning and steep throughout the day instead.

My tastes in tea have changed, so I should update this as well. I find myself leaning more towards rooibos and herbals, if only for their great ability to chill in my travel mug for hours and not get weird on me. When I have time to properly brew a cuppa, I lean towards white teas (which I only steep for 30 seconds) and black teas (which only get 2-3 minutes from me). I cannot stand green teas, they’re too fiddly for my tastes. Oolongs are great, but a bit fiddly as well. However, I love watching oolongs open up in my looseleaf brewer. I’m slowly discovering mates and falling for them…there are many I look forward to trying!

So…yeah. That’s me and my tea!
