Today was exhausting and it’s only half way done. New tires on the car and several stops for various groceries. I hate the holidays time of year. Everything and everyone seems so much more frantic than normal until mid January. It makes me want to hide. Stay home. Drink tea!

This tea sample has held up better than the other one. It still has some flavor. Caramel scent greets me when I steep it. The sip is a little tart, but the finish has a decent coconut caramel flavor to it. I can’t seem to get the taste of the carrots I ate 30 minutes ago out of my mouth, so that is mingling with the tea a little. The cup seems to lack a little of the base notes I like in a well rounded tea. It’s more mid to high note. It feels like it could do more and become a fantastic tea.

I definitely think we are turning it into a bigger deal than we need to.

I am pretty much same Dustin; but staying at home won’t help as I am not there alone (living with parents :D )

It’s hard to downplay the holidays with kids in the house. One keeps asking me how many of the gifts are for him, if I can give any hints on what they are and asking what treats will be in his stocking. He is pumped and I feel like he’s catching excitement from his friends who’s families do the holidays big. More reason to dream of living in the woods, rejecting consumerism and adopting the identity of a forest witch!

It’s all just like Charlie and the Choc factory. I’m a parent myself and while I want my kids to have a good holiday I also want them to understand certain things. Though my daughter is an overthinker so I have to be careful with what I tell her. Consumerism is dangerous.

My name is Dustin and I like tea.

I’m an added flavor kind of tea fan, but have had a growing appreciation for plain. I want my tea to remind me of cookies and cakes with coconut and almond slices with a hint of chocolate drizzled on top. I want dancing ponies and flying monkeys shooting off fireworks! And no hibiscus. Hibiscus is the devil.
