And that’s a sipdown!
I didn’t hate this, but I never really warmed to it, and am more excited to see it gone than sorry to see it go.
As the goal is to have tea that I’d be sorry to see go, rather than lots of meh teas, this is a welcome sipdown!

When Summer passes, I get the urge to bring some classics back into my cupboard. And that’s what Glitter & Gold is to me, a classic for the colder weather.
I have a huge tin of it, ready to warm me through cold mornings. Now I just need some colder mornings!

I’ve had two cups of this today, to help my flagging energy. I don’t know that it helped, but it didn’t hurt.
The citrus is still stronger than the jasmine, but I think its a pretty decent balance.

I am getting very annoyed that I can’t put my finger on why this blend does not work for me. It just never seems to meld in the way that I imagine it should! Argh!

The almond flavor of this blend really came out in my morning pot. That was glorious, as I sat, drinking in the delicate, almost perfumy almond and thinking fondly of autumn.
This tea, even more than pumpkin blends, is the essence of autumn to me.

And I decided, “why not just kill this off today?” and, finding no reason not to, I did.
This was inoffensive and unmemorable. I am not sorry to have drunk it, and not sorry that its gone.
Sipdown!

As inoffensive hot liquids to have on hand at work go, this one is pretty middle of the road!
See, faint praise, damming with.

Monday! And a Monday after a terrible nights sleep. Its been really horribly windy around here, meaning things went bump in the night all night, waking me up with scrapings against the windows, thuds from the walls, and weird skittering noises across the roof.
Brilliant.
So myself and my sinuses will be drinking a lot of tea today.
I think I hit optimal richness with this one today- a good balance of the hearty pu-erh and the chai. Still not convinced that the combo works, but at least it does not offend.

Tea of my morning.
The leaf smells very strongly of vanilla, but it doesn’t taste really like anything. I was hoping to get a lot of vanilla, but it just was a cup of rather mild black tea.

Tea of the morning.
I needed something no-frills today, and this fits the bill.
It always sounds a bit like an insult when I say that, but its not intended to be. This is a solidly good, basic tea. There are days when nothing else will do.
