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.
