Sipdown!
Cold steeped the rest of this today. Without getting too political over my tea… it’s inauguration day and the first time we have had a woman for VP. I don’t know much about her or have an opinion on her, but I support having more women and diversity in office. People were wearing pearls and converse in solidarity. Converse hurt my feet so I don’t have any and I’m not a pearl necklace kind of girl, so I decided it would be fitting to celebrate this American milestone by drinking pearls instead. And also because I can’t play nice and do things the way everyone else does. Watch me rebel drink some tea!
I couldn’t stand having one serving left of this tea kicking around in my cupboard, so I dumped the whole thing into my thermos. That part about the jasmine flavor being super weak in my last tasting note… I take it back. Could have been a combo of over leafing and cold steeping, but the jasmine was pretty strong. It also had a good amount of caffeine and I started getting a little jittery drinking this on an empty and hungry stomach. Still, I did enjoy the cup. I might pour more water in and resteep it overnight or I might be bored of it in the morning and decide to dump it for something else.
I like that reasoning! If you can’t wear pearls, drink pearls!
