aisling of tea drank Cold 911 by DAVIDsTEA

So over Thanksgiving, my sister in law got sick with a wimp of a cold. Nothing that bad, really, just some sneezing and sleepiness. Well, then my MiL and FiL got it. My MiL visited my wife on Thursday and by Saturday, she was stuck in bed with a doozy of a cold. Sunday I woke up to a sore throat and wheezing in my chest whenever I lay down (and no OHIP until November 14th). So…thanks, SiL.

Yesterday I made cup of this to go for my wife, and then resteeped the leaves in a tea-for-one for myself. It did not resteep well, sadly. Still, it helps both of us enough that I’m planning to buy a tin on the next paycheck. It’s going to be a long winter.

Do they still have it at he store you go to? I know the ones in my area don’t have it and it was discontinued. However they are bringing it back, either next week or Nov 1st with the winter teas. Hope you feel better soon.

I don’t know if they do or not, I’ll have to check. Sadness if they don’t, though there are enough cold teas out there that I’ll survive somehow. But they are for sure bringing it back? So excited for the winter teas, need to stock up on the fall ones!

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!
