aisling of tea drank Santa's Secret by DAVIDsTEA

To get ready for our Tea Cooking Day, I had a cup of this while cleaning. Mmmmm. I accidentally oversteeped this (I have got to learn to set a timer when making tea and tidying the kitchen at the same time!), so while it was stronger than I prefer, it never went bitter.

I think I might pick up an extra 100g before it fades away.

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!
