aisling of tea drank Spearmint (organic) by DAVIDsTEA

Sick. Again. Arg, winter, go away. I have my favorite teapot (my elephant!) filled with my favorite tea (Spearmint!) and I’m good to go. Nothing lifts my spirits like this simple tea.

Your teapot sounds so cute! :) I love elephants. Got a pic to share?

This isn’t my teapot, obviously, but the one I have is exactly like this one: http://www.kitchenniche.ca/elephant-teapot-p-1399.html I love it so much!

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!
