drank Juicy Lemon by Loyd Tea
2972 tasting notes

I feel like a cross between a freezer-burnt turkey and a wilted houseplant. We are on Day 4 without even a glimmer of sunshine (thus the houseplant) and a layer of permafrost that makes a four-block run to the post office a daredevil event (thus the frozen turkey). Prognosis is for this lovely pattern to continue well into next week, with temps dipping to the zeroes this weekend.

I needed a severe dose of warm and cozy this evening, and this little tea does the trick. The fine print calls it a “Warming Tea.” The ginger takes the lead in doing precisely that, the lemon clears out a gunked up throat, and the rooibos just serves as a holding mechanism for both of them.

Just one more bag left in my little box, and it appears to be distressingly discontinued. I’ll have to ration it juice-diciously.

I am pretty sure I have seen it in stores, but can’t recall if recently or now… but quick search didn’t brought any results too, so I guess it is indeed discontinued :(

We’re having a cold streak here too. I want spring!

gmathis

Amen, sister! We get four seasons annually, but it’s been several winters since we’ve had such a long, bleak, sub-freezing streak.

Today it is suppposed to be coldest day in winter, “down to” -20°C

Not especially cold here, but it feels like we haven’t seen the sun for more than an hour at a time in a month. Rain and clouds and clouds and rain.

Okay, I woke up in 7 am and checked the temperature — -9°C
Oh well, not a greatest day to wear suit.

Here in North Dakota it is expected to be -22F tonight (I thnk that is around -30c) and the windchill tonight wil be -42F (-41c). I hope the car starts tomorrow. Definitely good tea drinking weather! But I think just about the entire US is going to be significantly colder than usual this weekend.
