aisling of tea drank Read My Lips by DAVIDsTEA

Saaaaad, I ruined this. I dumped a perfect teaspoon into my perfect mug. As I waited for the water to boil, I decided to add some vanilla black to bring out the vanilla. But then I doubted myself. I thought it would be too strong, so I added a splash of soy milk…which promptly dulled all the flavors. So sad!

I resteeped the leaves and got a hint of the awesomeness it could have been, so I’ll definitely be trying again!

Add some Creme de Menthe to your Read My Lips. So amazing.

I can’t take credit for it. I read it on facebook. And it was almost as good when Creme de Menthe was added to Chocolate Rocket.

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!
