812 Tasting Notes
well my dammann order arrived yesterday so here i am jumping in!
Day 21
i don’t love cinnamon in my tea, so i knew this wasn’t gonna be a fave, but i was still VERY surprised by how much i liked it. yay win!
if you love movies then watch this.
asap.

like, now.

the university where i work is closed until January 2nd.
my goal is to watch 1 documentary and 1 film i haven’t seen from the list in the video link every day.
today i watched 2 documentaries, (A)sexual and Blackfish.
and i currently started the film Post Tenebras Lux.
though it might be too late for it and i might watch an episode from The Top of the Lake instead.
my documentary options feel a little aimless, so if anyone would like to recommend a few i’d love the guidance! :)
How was Blackfish, I have heard a lot about it.
So jealous. I have to work on Monday and Tuesday. :(
The Cove – although do watch it with a box of kleenex and perhaps a friend to yap with after. Met the guy who wrote it (yes, there are writers for documentaries)… really inspiring story. Mind you, it’s considered ‘old’ now, so you may have already watched it.
definitely stewed apricots yum.
i have plans to go running tomorrow. haven’t run in weeks so it’s gonna be interesting.
i also have a massage scheduled for breakfast hah
now i will embarrass my sister and ask you all to friend her!
cuz i’d love to see her on steepster more http://steepster.com/oddree/
Everyone’s bored at work today ! Can you tell?
Hi oddree!! Welcome to steepster!
My sister is also on here, MsWhatsit.
wait, i thought ‘bored at work’ was synonymous with ‘reading fic on my phone’? i’ll just replace ‘bored at work’ with ‘reading fic on my phone’ from now on.
awesome i followed MsWhatsit :)
what a yummy tea. i just finished off my blood orange puerh and this is a great variation on the theme. the scent is kapow. and the flavor is a robust smokey dusky orange. like wet winter earth. it stands out. and i like any tea that has enough personality to stand out.
if you are feeling insane, and want to stay feeling insane, here is a ridiculous holiday themed dj mix to enjoy!!
i find the DJ Snake “Bird Machine [Jingle Bells Version]” song especially nutty.
and i feel that this kind of music does a lot to push oneself from a state of over-caffeinated glee over the tipping point and into a hyper crazed freak out!!!

my least favorite American Tea Room tea i’ve tried so far. but i still like it okay. i think it’s just not my thing is all. i’ve kinda been on a rose overload lately.
i’ll give it a rest and taste it again in a week or so.
now hey look!
my tea from Dammann arrived.

nicely done post office. nicely done.
Ahh! Hope your tea is ok!
i know! it’s really hard to not just run home NOW and investigate the contents.
Wow…that is one smashed up package!
Oh no – hope the tea isn’t too crushed!
i said to my boyfriend that it looked like someone had just sat right down on the box.
he agreed, but said he’s sure the tea is fine. then he vowed to go sit on it himself just to prove his point! haha
Oh I’m so sorry for your tea but it made me laugh to see the box. :D
Ikr! It’s such a mess that it’s hilarious! (I’ll update you on the status once I know more)
/0\ I hope the bags haven’t all burst!
(Btw, I love that you’ve linked the fan fic thread in your profile. Guess if I can’t find it, I’ll look you up instead!)
I have priorities!!
And yay the tea is all fine! I’m having a cup now and not even the advent calendars were dented. They packaged it good :) it’s gonna be a great tea day.
i’m about to steep my sample of this…
but, um, HOW did you all not just eat the big fat brazil nut out of the bag?!!?
idk if i can steep the nut. i mean. it looks so big and juicy….
I know! The brazil nuts are so tempting. I’m a good girl and eat them AFTER I steep them.
Smart! :-)
my favorite David’s for sure.
I tried a slice of almond from one of David’s almond teas and it was SO saturated with almond extract flavor that I had to spit it out. Kind of turned me off from picking through tea and randomly munching.
the scent of this tea is strong kapow!
and yum and so lemon bright!
i don’t drink a ton of green tea but it’s always good to have a tasty reliable few styles around so i’m really glad i got a 4 oz tin and not just a sample.
my sister kinda picked it out and i said Yes cuz i enjoy gunpowder. i’ll look forward to drinking this in the mornings. wake up my taste buds!!
Yup
I am your gay fanfic reader pal right there with you.
Lol. Sign me up! I’ve been branching out into different fandoms.
That sounds like the best resolution ever.
