I had all sorts of intentions to have a different tea this morning, but when I stumbled into the kitchen, I made a bee-line for this one instead. even in my incredibly exhausted state, I knew what I needed. Somehow, this cup was extra perfect this morning. I got a good strong hit of vanilla, had the perfect amounts of cream and sugar, and ultimately felt as though I could not have picked better on a frigid winter morning like this. There’s a thread on the boards right now where people are talking about their staple teas, and I suspect this will be one of mine for the fall and winter at least. Perfect balance of bergamot and vanilla. Mmm. I want another cup.

In other news, I just got a paper cut. It doesn’t hurt like a mofo yet, but I imagine it will in time. I nearly swore out loud when I got it (somehow swearing is the only thing you can do when you’re in instantaneous pain; no other words or phrases will do or feel as appropriate a reaction).

Mmmm…a nice creamy vanilla flavour sometimes just really hits the spot! Sometimes intuition is just the best way to go :)

Ouch! I hate paper cuts. :(

I know. What a pain in the ass eh? and yeah, this tea was wonderful. I can include some in your package, if you’re into this sort of thing. Also, I don’t know why my note posted twice—I mean, I got an error the first time I posted so I assumed it hadn’t posted at all, only to learn it posted twice. Ugh.

Yvonne

That would be amazing!! Thank you so much :)

Yeah, Steepster sometimes likes to act up in funny ways. :P A few days ago it was awful and nearly broken, nobody could do anything on the site. Things were jamming up, pages weren’t loading…but I suppose every site has it’s little glitches here and there.

No problem. and yeah, it does have its glitches, but those are often cleared up pretty quickly, thankfully.

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.
