aisling of tea drank Crème de Menthe by DAVIDsTEA

I don’t know if they adjusted the blend, or if my wife just stumbled upon the perfect steep time/temperature combination, but I really enjoyed this one last night. Unfortunately I couldn’t drink very much, as it was already 9 pm and I needed to sleep at some point last night. I don’t think I’d consider rebuying due to the wife hating it so much and I recently swapped a nearly-full bag away, but it was nice to leave this one with fond memories.

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!
