I spent my final day of peace doing a little online shopping, animating (more on that tomorrow!), and trying some of the teas I ordered! I recently purchased a raspberry mojito and a mango strawberry tea. Both equally delicious. I’m even planning ahead and brewing some royal milk tea for some after work boba tea tomorrow! Then of course I also have a couple pints ginger peach tea for my work commute tomorrow… There was a lot of tea today. I’m drinking the raspberry mojito one right now, it’s an herbal tea — it offers a nice, refreshing tropical taste on a nice summer evening. It’s looking like it’ll be another one of those tomorrow, good thing I have plans to stay hydrated! 😛
Epic Tea Time
The first tea of the new year
For Christmas I got an interesting blend called Honey Yuzu. It’s a green tea blended with Japanese Yuzu fruit, honey and some citrus peels from oranges and grapefruits for a bold flavor.
Guess I’ll have to add Tea Forte to my list of tea purchases. 😛
Is that a spout on your van or are you just happy to see me?
So I was walking around in town yesterday and saw a weird sight in the distance. It was a van with something long and phallic looking strapped to the front bumper and grill. At least that’s what my dirty mind thought it was. I was pretty confused as to what else it could be. Then when I walked by I found out it was a tea spout… It was a promotional van for the local teahouse and maaaan it got me good I guess.

My flowering tea arrived today! Plus a nice brick of matcha. I’ll have to get through my other supplies first before I tear into it. Now I just need to wait for my shipment of loose leaf chai and I’ll be set until I decide I’m missing something in my tea life again.
At present I’m having the last of the vanilla peach rooibos which has a nice smooth flavor to it. Before I go to lie down I think I’ll make a batch of lemongrass herbal tea.
lately my consumption of tea has become even more serious. I’ve been making sure to take a thing of tea with me to work everyday hot or iced, caffeinated and decaf. I should review tea next… lol.
Speaking of reviews, I’ll have a small review of a TF2 map in a day or two. Not that it matters, just getting it out there.
Gypsy Rose
One of my findings awhile back was some good ol Gypsy Rose. I love the flavor of it, but it does leave me feeling thirsty for more.
I do love gypsy tea though. I have many tins of it in different kinds. It has a nice combination of aromatherapy and flavoring. Definitely a bit much for one mug. Best to make it in an entire pot (which I do with all my tea). Many people know that I’m a POT addict.
