Advent Tea: Day 1 from Michelle!
I did drink this yesterday but I am posting the note today because I couldn’t find my computer charger the other day. I love to read so I was excited to see that this is an author-inspired tea blend. I liked this one overall. I could taste the strawberry in it and maybe some of the almond or amaretto flavoring. It was hard to pick out too many specific flavors, but they worked well with the green tea base. Thanks again, Michelle. (:

I’m supposed to be writing an essay about Little Women right now, so I’m going to take this as a sign to stop procrastinating and get on with it XD

Michelle

Glad you liked it, I remember thinking this smelled better than it tasted, but was still good.

Nattie: I’m supposed to be writing an essay for my Sociology class right now and I have also been procrastinating. So I’m gonna work on that today haha. Good Luck!
Michelle: Yeah the amaretto flavor smelled stronger in scent and was more subtle in taste but still a yummy tea.

Well, I should study for my ADR exam and instead I am writing notes here, watching biathlon in between, and overall not much happy about reading tanks and containers for loose hazmat.

Nattie

Thank you! Good luck on your essay too Lexie, and on your revision Martin !

I think my Little Women essay would be entitled, “Ten Good Reasons I want to be Jo.” A while back, I found a very non-Little Women novel she also wrote called “A Long Fatal Love Chase.” How’s that for a departure from genre? (It’s gotten buried in Mount To-Be-Read, but needs to be exhumed.)

Nattie

@gmathis – ugh, I love Jo. I always wanted to be her when I was younger. I love Laurie, too. He’s possibly my favourite literary male character to this day. My essay is about gender norms in the 19th century, which I’m finding too interesting, hence the writing 4x the word count!

I want to try more of their literary teas, but don’t want the box set since I already own one of the ones they off from it, and some I know I wouldn’t like, so the price makes it too prohibitive. One issue I have with S&V is they don’t offer more reasonable sampling options. I like their box ideas but if you don’t want to try all of those for over 30, it’s not as worth it for cheap me lol. I have some other literary ones to try sometime. Glad you liked this one
