drank Blueberry Jam Organic by DAVIDsTEA
513 tasting notes

I had this tea with my dinner, which consisted of blueberry waffles drizzled with butter and real maple syrup that I got when at the cottage resort up north last weekend. I couldn’t have had a better dinner. I haven’t had dellaterra’s blueberry crumble in a while, and so perhaps I’m not doing it justice in my memory, but I dare say I would probably restock this one over that one. It could also be because I’m starting to feel a bit disenchanted with tea in travel mugs, because try as I might, I think it’s just an inevitable reality that consuming tea is a holistic experience, and to drink it out of a travel mug will necessarily mean that it’s different from having it out of an ordinary cup. And some people can cope with that better than I can, I think. I just hate the feeling of putting one of my favourite teas in my travel mug only to like it less and wonder if it’s me, the tea, or the mug.

But whatever. It’s Friday and fuck yeah Canada!! Our boss went out this afternoon, got everyone at the office burritos and beer, and we holed up in her office and just watched the game all afternoon. That’s what I call a great boss!

I slacked off and went to work late today, because the people there had been watching hockey since 9am. I knew there was no point – I wouldn’t have gotten anything done! (Although, yay Canada!)

Haha good call on your part. To be honest, I don’t even understand how hockey is played, nor do I watch it. But this was an exception. Besides, understanding it or otherwise, it’s a fast and exciting game to watch.

The last time I followed hockey was in 1994. Canucks riot. :)

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.
