299 Tasting Notes
I’m so whiny today. K’s off in top-secret meetings all week where they take his phone so he hasn’t even bothered to bring it AND he’s away from the office so no email AND he took the car and I’m just sitting here like it’s the end of the world because I’m addicted to coffee and it’s way over there across the neighbourhood :P :P :P Saddest Ozli.
But this! The blackest of black teas! With milk & sugar for the self-pity. Oversteeped it but it didn’t hurt it any.
Preparation
Top-secret meetings? Crazy stuff!
Also, #hugs. You guys need a fancy coffee machine! Also, if we’re just dreaming, a fancy tea machine too!
Yeah, I have a friend who has the fancypants breville kettle and I wants it >:D
(The meetings are in plain clothes too, to keep rank off the table, ideally. Weird! Also we got our NB resource centre package. The cover of the “Welcome to NB!” booklet has a STACK OF ROCKS. “COME SEE OUR PILE OF ROCKS! :D?”)
Hahah. So is that it for sure? You guys are going to NB? Also, where was NB agan? I keep thinking New Brunswick and that’s not what you mean…
I would love a Breville too btw, but idk how I could ever justify it. Maybe if it was a present? Or I spent bday money on it and pretended they just bought it for me? (It’s not my fault guys, I could’t refuse a gift because that would be rude, it’s not like I"d actually spend $250 on a kettle but they gave it to meeee) :P
oh yeah, K got the official orders last week. North Bay! Like 4hrs north of here. The “near north.”
I think they have the matching fancypants coffeemachine, too ;) jealoussss. I could justify it. Amazon has the 1.8L for 99$ ;) That’s not so bad if it makes green tea less of a pain in the ass!
Yeah that’s actually justifiable. :P I don’t really need it to pull the tea out of the water for me – but getting it to the right temperature is a nice feature!
Oh man. That’s crazy. I hope you feel better knowing for sure what’s going on. So, if I’m in York, Google Maps says it’d be about 3.5 hours to drive there!
(Right now I rig my meat thermometer so it doesn’t fall in the water, and then I wait and wait…)
yeah i have a feeling the tea maker would just end up like my french press, forgotten and moulding :P (Meat thermometer highfive)
Yep! It’s not bad for visiting at all! \o/
I smelled this and immediately thought “Xmas” – it smells Christmassy now because I first had it on Christmas… lol. It’s interesting and it’s ~~good… but ultimately, still not for me. I can’t imagine drinking it beyond interested/curious sipping.
Anyway, it’s gone now & I no longer have to feel bad about never drinking it.
First tea post-blackout! 35hrs of colddddddd. Now? ALL THE TEA. Starting with one of my faves. <3
Post-blackout?! Whereabouts do you live?
Great choice!!!
Kittenna – we’re in trenton ontario! this whole side of the town was pretty much powerless. our neighbourhood is all back now though.
I LOVE THIS TEA, especially with a pile of mini eggs :P :P
Jealous :P I wanted a power outage to justify not working on my thesis for a while. No such luck here in Guelph :( (Glad everything’s powered up again!)
Awww, bummer!! :P
