I was feeling a bit of a lighter chocolaty mood tonight, which gave me the perfect opportunity to try the “Chocolate Monkey” tea I ordered recently from The Amazing Zon. Years ago I fell in love with a chocolate banana tea made by Republic of Tea, and when I finally made it down to my last bag of the stuff I wanted to see if there was a worthwhile replacement. It tastes pretty much the same, although a bit bolder because of it being a loose leaf tea instead of bagged. I’ve only had it straight so far, but I’m sure it would taste good with a splash of milk. It already tastes sweet enough on its own, so you don’t need to add much sweetner, if at all. It’s a healthy way to get that cocoa fix, and they say cocoa can help with depression, and it’s been really fucking depressing lately. So it’s good to drink something that can help AND not give you diabeetus. :v
Tea Talk
Monday Evening Open Zen Thread
After two days of zen I think I’m ready for five days of pain. I made it a zen repeat of yesterday, minus the gaming. It was another day of tea drinking, tea ordering, and hot white chocolate matcha to give my evening a sweet finish. I didn’t realize how low I was on my puerh teas, those (and black tea) are super important for my morning commutes. I don’t do coffee, and puerh has the right amount of caffeine to kick start the hyperactive part of me.
