I always think of my birthday as a second new year- partially because it falls so close to the actual new year, and partially because it serves as the start of my year.
What do I want to do with this new year of my life? Where do I want to go, what do I want to do? What experiences will I have?
I like to do nice things on my birthday to set the tone for the upcoming year of my life, and I’m starting this one with a mug of this lovley tea. May it bring sweetness.

This left so little of an impression that it hardly seems fair to call it a sipdown, but it is!

My morning at home was a peaceful montage, where I easily floated through my tasks, sipping my tea and getting read for the day.
I get to work and its all wham, bam, thank you ma’am!
I shall require more tea than just this. Much, much more.

A pot of this was my morning companion, and a lovely brew it was as well.
I am getting close to the end of this. Its going to start to happen, that I will be sipping down teas I really like, as well as teas I am more meh about.

Its a cold and foggy day. The perfect day to go to yoga, come home, and hang out in my warm house with tea, movies and my knitting. Just perfect!
I am having a cup of this, a herbal chai, and it was very nice indeed today. Trouble is I wasn’t paying good attention to the steep time, so I’m not quite sure what I did.
Oh well! I’ll just have to try again next cup, and see if I can recreate it.

First pot of the day!
Turns out I am not yet feeling more subtle or sophisticated blends. Bring on the silly, sugary teas!

Sigh. Some sipdowns are proud moments, some tragic, some bittersweet. This is one of the latter.
Goodbye, Cardamom French Toast! I’ll be certainly bringing you back, but it won’t be for a while. I have many more teas to sip down in the meantime, and anyway this is a fall and winter blend in my heart.
Till we meet again!

First tea of this lovely, quiet Saturday, where I intend to get things done, relax, and drink lots and lots of tea!
Noms. This is so freaking good. I love this blend, and it will almost certainly be a permablend in my cupboard, when I get myself to the point of deciding the forever teas.
Rich, with a touch of honey and the sweetness of autumn fruits. Yum!

Everyone around me seems to have the plague at the moment. Argh. Aaaargh!
I do not want to be sick, so am drinking tons of tea, to keep any inkling of a sore throat at bay.
So far it seems to be working, but lets not tempt fate, shall we? Another one down the hatch.

Hmm. May have been giving this tea a bit too much credit. I got my first of the collywobbles after drinking this mornings time. Apparently that vague feeling of nausea I get after some green and black tea blends can appear here, if I’m not careful with the steep.
Good to know.
