We weren’t sure about this one after smelling it in-store, but then we tried a sample and it was delicious! Very cooling, but not overwhelmingly pepperminty. I might take some of this to the parade with me today.

On a related note, I am so excited! I found some of those plastic ice cubes at Dollarama and now I can ice my tea quickly without watering it down!

I’ve been thinking about ordering this one….would you suggest bitting the bullet and getting some.

I would. Have you tried their Detox? It’s similar to that due to the juniper berries, but sweeter because of the apple.

I haven’t tried that one either. Was hoping to get up to Montreal this weekend, but that didn’t happen. :(

Sad. I really enjoy both of them, and I often reach for detox after too much food or booze. It really does help me feel better.

Hmmm, I’m feeling a bit sun-strokey. Maybe I should have a cup of this before bed.

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!
