So.
I got pregnant last spring and within a couple of months realized that being pregnant made me hate tea. I’d open my cupboard and all the flavored tea smells mingling together turned my stomach. So I basically spent 30 weeks not drinking tea. Except for Tetley, the old Canadian grocery store standby. And make that 30 weeks plus 5 weeks because now I have a five week old tiny human.
I have been trying to get my tea love back (lust, really), starting with old favorites that are a sure thing, like creamy earl greys and some butiki teas and kusmi and harney and sons. Hating tea has been bad news for my over the top flavored tea stash… I’m hoping they’re all still good. I’ve been giving samples away to friends so that someone could enjoy them. Was even debating doing an ebay listing or something.
I am in no position to review anything really at this point, but consider this one of my “dipping my toes back in” teas. Anything super flavored still makes me cringe. All I have wanted to do over the last 9 months is drink coffee, and that remains the case.
Bear with me! Bare with me? Either one will do!
I have basically forgotten all the tea brewing and reviewing rules!!
(Edited to correct an annoying typo. Sorry!)

Congrats!
I’m happy to see you back too! Somehow I missed this post but when I saw your comment I lit right up! I hope you can get back into tea without too much fuss. Also, I recommend DT’s Mother’s Little Helper to help zonk you out before bed. (Sometimes you’re so exhausted but you can’t just make your brain shut up – that helped me out a bit!)
Also, if you see anything in my cupboard that you think you’d be interested in (and that I Have enough of) I could send it your way to help you figure out what you like again. :D
Thank you, appreciate that! So far I haven’t had too much trouble shutting my brain down, five hours of sleep will do that to me, haha. But I will keep that in mind!!
I’m hoping the fact that I can’t healthily drink as much coffee as I’d like coupled with being home all day will encourage me to get back into the tea. Even a cup or two a day would be swell!! My husband is harassing me about my huge collection. I have to prove him wrong.
Oooooh, congrats! Glad to see you’re at least kind of back, as well!
