Roommate came home like an hour and a half ago and she does the same thing every time: Walk through the door, stops midway and just laughs at me. Then she closes the door and asks what tea I’m drinking this time ahha. At the time it was my Jasmine Silver Needles and I was in the middle of making a tea sampler pack for my roommate from Florida!
Fun fact: I have a set chair in the dining room. This is the chair that my roommates will always find me in. The one in the back of the dining room, facing the door, right next to a plug where my laptop charger and my kettle is always plugged in. They know that it’s a heavy tea/study day if I have all my teas laid out taking up the entire dining table. I haven’t even known half my roommates for a month and one of the things they know about me I take my tea very seriously hhehe. I love them to death though, and a lot of the times I offer to make them tea and sometimes they say yeah. Aww roommate bonding.

I legit opened up my school textbook and went to the online quizzes, and I saw the date that the quizzes were due AND THEY’RE DUE NEXT WEEK. Oh this is just great. I was definitely going to make another cuppa before this but.. I got distracted.
I think this is my final cup of tea for the night! It’s nearly 1am and I’m just celebrating because my least favourite class is cancelled for tomorrow, and it’s at 10am! Yeah, not early at all haha. But at 1pm I’m taking my Chicken Butchery Practicum and I AM SO EXCITED.
It’s been exactly a month since I’ve moved out of my apartment in Florida so I think it’s only fitting that I’d finish the night off with one of my favourite teas that I bought there! This Genmai-Cha that I bought from Japan in Epcot :)
Definitely a great tea. I’ve had other roasted brown rice teas before, but this I feel is the most flavourful. Brown rice tea is one of my favourites! It definitely has a very unique flavour, something that other teas just can’t match :)

Dude it’s 1am. I apologize. I ramble.

Chicken Butchery Practicum? What is your major? :)

I’m a Hospitality Management major!
I’m taking the first class in the Restaurant series so I get to work in the kitchens! It’s definitely one of the best classes I’ve taken hehe. Almost all of the tests are in the kitchens so it’s so much fun :)

Nicole

How interesting! I would never have thought they’d teach people how to kill chickens in a class.

Ahahha it’s all a part of my major, really!
It’s working up to the final class, working at the kitchens. We have a restaurant on campus that’s ALL student run and we rotate roles like every 2 weeks so we get a feel of how it really feels to run a restaurant.
First part of the series is the class I’m in now, the basics of working in a kitchen and getting familiar with knife cuts and learning different cooking styles and methods.
Part two is menu engineering and planning. Restaurant engineering and planning. Pretty much the planning phase of any basic restaurant with marketing all all that stuff.
Part three is putting the two together and actually working and learning everything from the past year in a very very hands-on environment :)

Ahh I’m just super excited to take all these classes!

Tea rating guide:
100-95: Best thing to ever touch my mouth and I want more. Restocking is a must
94-80: Love this tea. Restock if I can
79-70: Decent tea. Neither love nor hate.
69-60: I won’t be upset when it runs out. I’ll drink it but won’t restock.
59-30: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea and I’ll finish the cup.
29-10: I’ve done whatever I can to like this tea. It may or may not have gone down the sink…
9-below: Let’s not even hide it. This definitely went down the drain.

I love tea.
I drink it.
I log it.
I have a good time.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I first discovered my love for tea with jasmine teas because that’s all my mother would buy, so for the longest time, I thought that all teas were jasmine! And then in 4th grade, I watched the tea episode of Good Eats and that’s when the education started! I’d like to blame Alton Brown for starting this obsession because now I only like loose leaf tea.
It wasn’t until my second year of college that I actually expanded my tea taste buds. Special shout out to Cara McGee, Tea Queen for her Adagio Fandom blends. Because of Cara, I actually started drinking blacks, herbals and whites and pretty much everything else in between. I still have a special love for my jasmine though :)
I (try to) drink tea daily. Usually just straight up, no sugar or milk. This little obsession started young and just… kept going, I guess.

also I apologize in advance for lazy tasting notes and horrible grammar in everything I write. I was an avid fandom blogger on tumblr and tumblr talk can get in the way of everything kthxbai
