From Adagio Custom Blends, Sami Kelsh

She’s stubborn, she’s loud, and she’s opinionated: Tegan may come across a touch abrasive at times, but she undeniably gets stuff done, and beneath that brash exterior lies an incredibly caring heart. This brew is a fierce cocktail of citrus and citrus and more citrus; brisk, no-nonsense earl grey meets tart, fragrant grapefruit and orange. Orange notes dominate, so it’s a bit like an aromatic, complex screwdriver, but your companions won’t judge you for having it with breakfast. A Doctor Who blend.

Backlog from yesterday, because I accidentally napped this afternoon.

Also, paid (I hope) my council tax bill last night, though I’ve a sinking feeling they’re trying to make me pay upfront for the next year, which I’m not comfortable doing because a) I AM TERRIFYINGLY BROKE; and b) I doubt I’ll still be living in this flat by summertime, either because I’m working in another city or because I’ve run out of money and have been forced to leave. So yeah, no. Salford City Council scares me more than anything else in my life, if I’m honest. It’s a Kafkaesque nightmare.

So, you know, a brave heart tea seemed kind of fitting, yes?

There’s certainly nothing quiet about Tegan Jovanka. Opening the bag, the scent is strong and bright, sharp grapefruit cutting through sweet orange. Indeed, orange is the dominant flavour, but made complex and aromatic by the other citrus, the grapefruit and background notes of bergamot. It’s tart and robust, refreshing and juicy, but not too bitter. It tastes like the recipe for a brave heart. But somebody hug me anyway.

ADDENDUM: This one time in Los Angeles I was asked to sign a sample of this tea for former Doctor Who BBC Books guru and current children’s author and now very dear friend Steve Cole. I’d never been asked to sign anything before. Steve made my day. I like Steve. :3
