Mmm! It’s been a while since I had this hot – and I’m really enjoying it. I mean, this is still pretty incredible cold; drinking it that way makes it almost juice like. Still – I missed this as a hot beverage. It seems a little less earthy tasting, and more like sweet tropical orange goodness. Quite tangy, if you will.
For prep, I used 2 tsp. steeped in my timolino for six minutes (with boiling water). It left the kitchen smelling HEAVENLY, which is good because the sinking is spilling over with disgusting and nasty dishes that I’m putting off washing (not gonna lie, I think I saw something molding in one of the bowls). I REALLY need a day off to not only catch up on domestic duties but just to rest and sleep. The fact I can hear my bones cracking every time I turn my neck and and my fingers and forearms and almost consistantly throbbing from lifting and moving around so much stock is NOT a good thing.
Finally, I’m thinking I should be adding denture tablets to my shopping list. For the last few teas I’ve made in my timolino there’s been an unexplained creamy white chocolate taste – and I’m thinking it MUST be some lingering flavour from another blend (like the DAVIDsTEA White Chocolate Frost I have). So, time to REALLY clean this thermos out. This lingering flavour is messing with me.
Two fruity teas today, though… I’m thinking if I have the energy after work when I get home I’m gonna crack open the sample of Jessie’s Tea that VariaTEA sent me: I could use some coconut and some calming tea! Really, I could use a day off (I’m sick of borderline pervy seniors and spoiled rotten three years olds who throw tempertantrums at my kiosk) – but that’s not gonna happen for at least another week.

VariaTEA, I’m now sending you the last of my Jessie’s Tea. If you like it, then I want it to go to a good home. :P
The timeline does that… if i’ve got a particularly flavorful tea, like a really cinnamon-y chai, it tastes for the next couple weeks. Hence, I only put straight teas in it now.
Oh yay! I hope you like Jessie’s Tea as much as I do.
