aisling of tea drank Santa's Secret by DAVIDsTEA

So after the easiest border crossing ever (the border guard was very amused at my highly detailed list of goods), we hurried home with my brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law in tow. They’re spending a few days with us, and so to celebrate their visit and the awesome border crossing, I made a cup of this for myself while making them a cup of sweet orange mate (Thanks, Indigobloom!). They stole my last few sips and fell in love. That minty creaminess gets ’em every time. They ended up buying a tin of this with the gift cards we got them, and it was the best purchase ever. Good call, guys. Good call.

Oh, no, you gave me the sweet orange mate, which they loved. They found many teas to love. Many many.

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!
