I woke up freezing this morning, and dreaded getting out of bed because I knew I would only feel colder still. I finally hauled myself up and braved the walk into the kitchen. I didn’t want to think too hard about which tea I wanted this morning, so I just defaulted to this one. I actually really enjoyed it. I steeped it for about five minutes, added in a teaspoon of rock sugar and made sure not to add too much cream. It resulted in a perfectly balanced cup, that was creamy, smooth, and reminded me of apples next to a wooded forest. I don’t even know why the term “appley” comes to mind; the tea does not taste at all of apples. But it somehow has the smooth, hard texture one might associate with a firm, juicy apple, or resting one’s cheek against the smooth, polished surface of a new wooden dresser.
If art of tea’s shipping prices weren’t so prohibitive, I think I’d actually go ahead and place an order for a larger size, but as it stands, that might have to wait. My sample is nearly empty now, which is increasingly unfortunate.
Anyway, hump day today, and I can’t wait to head home this evening. It’ll mean that the upcoming weekend is closer to you than the weekend you just finished, and that feeling is utter bliss.

and for me it’s mariage freres…. sigh. is it wrong to propel yourself through school thinking ‘with my degree done i can afford tea!’? lol.
Haha, not at all weird. I’m done school and still feel I can’t afford anything, though somehow that never stops me.
Also, I’m dying to try some mf. A friend of mine is going to the UK and i’m hoping she can bring me back some.
i’m trying to find a way to take a vacation over there just to pick up teas… sigh
I only wish I could plan the same! I was going to go visit a friend in Scotland this upcoming January, only now she’s decided to come back to Ontario! I was like wtf, please stay there until I visit. haha.
