drank Sugar and Spice by DAVIDsTEA
513 tasting notes

Oh wow, the steeping gods were watching over me this morning, because somehow I brewed a perfect mug of this for my timolino this morning. I used one of David’s perfect teaspoons, along with one of teavana’s perfect teaspoons for 12 oz of water (I often find I need to overleaf many of dt’s teas). Anyway, added in a generous amount of cream and sugar and the result was a perfectly balanced, creamy, smooth ginger bread cookie. I’m a girl who can’t stand to be even marginally cold, and I find that this tea makes me long for a wintery, blustery day just so that the tea can shine even brighter. I actually think I may get a full tin of this next time I’m at David’s!

In other news, my eyes are insisting on being closed, and try as I might, I can’t concentrate for jack at work this afternoon. I’m on the verge of listing to one side in sleep, and of course this means that each minute is five years long, and I fear I’ll never ever get to go home. Somehow the mornings seem to fly by, and the afternoon slows to a nearly backwards crawl. I have no idea how people who stay chipper all day manage it, I just have no idea.

So so so so sleepy. I want a nap!

Oh, and I still have that idiotic canker I wrote about earlier. It means that everything hurts and also that I’m not trying any new tea until it’s gone.

I was sleepy like that yesterday, hoping to not be that way this afternoon! Might make some matcha to keep myself awake!

Good plan! I still need to buy myself a small kettle to bring to work for afternoon tea purposes.

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
