drank Bolder Breakfast by The Tea Spot

So, I think this is a good blend. The base and the chocolate notes are actually really well blended, and I can tell that the general flavors are well balanced.
But I must say that I am not a big fan of either Pu-ehr or of chocolate teas, so this blend is never going to be a favorite.
But its doing very well as a work tea, where its getting sipped down quickly.

Backlogged from yesterday, where this was a sipdown.
I liked the idea of this more than the execution. I’m all about spicy teas, but the spices and the Lapsang base just never really blended well, and I never really loved this.
Its another sipdown! Hurrah for the cupboard clean out!

So this tea tastes of a generally pleasant nothingness. I keep forgetting I’ve had it, so I keep forgetting to log it.
It just sort of gets drunk, unnoticed.

My boss, who is a very nice person, has been fighting a cold all week. Which is is now my turn to fight.
Damn it all, boss. Keep your germs on your side of the office.
Anyway, I have no idea if this tea helped, but I’ve successfully fended off the cold, and sipped down this tea in the process.
It tasted like wet hay, which is how I know its medicinal.

This is your boss with the air conditioning fetish, am I right?

Hope you feel better. Cold’s are somehow even more evil when you know they originated with someone else in your circle. Sick people, stay home!

Thats the one! Its a good thing I like working for him, or I would lose my mind.

Nature has a sly sense of humor. Here we are, first day of spring, huge wet storm.
Sounds about right.
I had this more spring-like tea in celebration anyway.

drank Winter Solstice by Mighty Leaf Tea

Can you believe it is almost Spring? I mean, technically. It never quite feels like spring when it is spring, does it?
I wont be done with the “winter” teas by the time spring rolls around, but my sipdown goals mean things feel much more controlled there.

On this slow Sunday morning nothing but a pot of this luscious tea will do. Nom.

Wait….. what do you mean I’ve reached my sipdown goal? Whhhhhhat?
Er, well, go me? To celebrate I shall have one of the teas that I have not yet tried.
So far so good! Its a nicely balanced breakfast bread, a good companion to toast, and generally pleasant.
I’m glad I feel that way, as I have an absolute ton of this.

Yay you! Well done.

My sip down approach is currently working on my focus pile—which is gargantuan—but also occasionally treating myself with a relatively new tea: shopping in my stash as it were to keep things interesting.

Evol Ving Ness

I notice that you have far more discipline. Admirable.

Rosehips

Thats a really good plan! I’m going to start planning a small, celebratory order of teas I’m interested in trying, as a reward.

Amazing! Congratulations!

I need a bit of room for spontaneity. Otherwise, I get bored and the fun of it all dissipates.

I’ve been saying (and thinking to myself) that I liked this a lot, but it wasn’t destined to be a cupboard classic.
Well, the speed in which I sipped this down suggests something else, as is that I am thinking about composing my next Harney order, and how this will probably be in it.
But, for today, a sipdown.

You know, when you have a smaller cupboard but are still drinking vast quantities of tea then you occasionally have a moment, like today, where you go to take a teabag out and find its the very last one.
This is a nice chamomile, and its easy to come by, so I might get some more, sometime down the line.

I love tea! I confess that I was a hot chocolate lover for most of my life, but recently a switch has gone off in my brain, and suggested that I might just love tea. And I do!
I’m a bit of a novice, but an enthusiastic one, and am happily sipping new varieties all the time.
I love vanilla, fruity, and caramel flavors, and cant wait to try more.
