So I survived the day. And tomorrow is Friday eve, and then it’s Friday proper, and that means I get to hide and sleep and just disappear over the weekend, and if only I could disappear every other week for an entire week my life would feel so much more manageable. Best place ever: in bed. best. Place. ever.
Somehow, this tea was a bit disappointing tonight. I read sil’s tasting note on it and she said that this tea was good, although it likely wouldn’t brew consistent cups, and she may be right (that’s right, I said you’re right, haha!). Perhaps not—I’ve enjoyed all my cups of it thus far, it’s just that tonight’s cup left something to be desired. In the past, I didn’t have quite the same level of temptation to start keychanging the cup up with milk and/or sugar, but this cup was kind of watery and a bit sad. Still not bad though, and it only got better as it cooled. Perhaps I’ll cold-brew it next.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this, but in my state of anxiety at work yesterday, I managed to leave my carry mug behind at my desk, and because I was still all wound up this morning, didn’t take tea into work at all. And I felt this immediate rush of affection for my carry mug as soon as I saw it on my desk because, like, it (and the tea it contained, obviously) saw me through such a rough day yesterday, and omg the drinking experience is just amazing. The mesh lid! just get one, guys!

I like the depth of the steeping basket! So many of them are really shallow, so your tea doesn’t really get completely under water. That’s nice!
Yes. The basket is deep for sure. I am forever perplexed as to why anyone would tolerate a shallow steeping basket actually. If it were up to me, the ideal basket would be nearly as deep as the mug itself. This mug’s mesh lid is also great to drink out of.
