So last night was my friend Katie’s 19th birthday so a group of us took her out to the bar/club for the first time – I can’t really afford to drink out right now (saving up for dental work; shoot me now) so I was the sober one of the group.
Sometimes being the sober one is a good thing; you get to watch the crazy antics of your friends. Sometimes, it’s a bad thing though – you have to babysit when they get sloppy. In this case, it was a bit of both? No one got messy drunk, but we went to the loudest/busiest club in the city and as someone who is severely introverted and who doesn’t like dancing, I was FAR too sober to have a good time there. But, we weren’t there for me so I sucked it up.
Fast forward to this morning; Katie and our friend Matt were too drunk to go home so they crashed on our couch for the night. This morning I decided I’d make a big brunch for the three of us (Trey had already left for work, and Cathryn is out of town this weekend). Hashbrowns, scrambled lemon pepper cheesy eggs, toast with homemade blackberry jam, mandarin fruit salad, and of course nice hot tea! What I forgot, sadly, was that there are two main kinds of hungover people: the kind that need to eat away the hangover, and the kind that are far too sick to even look at food. Unfortunately, they were both the latter. Which is a shame, because brunch was so good.
However, the one thing that they actually BOTH finished from brunch was the tea! So, Liquid Proust for two highly hungover non-tea drinkers I’d definitely consider that some mighty high praise. And deserved praise; they each got a cup of tea but I very selfishly finished the rest of the pot because I really, really adore this one. Honestly, the fact I was willing to share any at all if actually pretty impressive and proof that I’m not a COMPLETELY selfish person.
Notes of lemon, bergamot, white peaches, and peach heavy fruit salad with those delicious little candied cherries. Floral undertones. Really smooth, medium bodied with a long lingering finish. Mmm!
It’s also holding up well for an older(ish) tea.
Flavors: Bergamot, Floral, Fruity, Lemon, Peach
woohoo!
