Simple tea, simple pleasures.

Yesterday, I bought high heeled purple suede sandals… Sounds trivial I know, but it’s a little pleasure that made me really, really happy.

This tea is also a little pleasure that makes me really, really happy.

It’s pure plump juicy lychee with buttery and sweet floral notes. I’ve got no fancy description for it, this is just what it’s supposed to be, and it’s fantastic! (And so are my new shoes!!!)

Flavors: Butter, Flowers, Lychee, Sweet

Fun.. That’s the one thing I hate about being tall with big feet. It’s hard to get cute shoes! One of my friends got around this by becoming a shoe designer;). It’s much better than in ‘the old days’ when my choices were mostly Doc’s. The sandles sound fun. Enjoy them!

I’m 5"6 and usually wear a 4 inch shoe, so that makes me pretty tall too :-) It’s a bit weird to me that size 5 shoes are often available, which is “outside the norms”, but bigger sizes are so rare.
OMG, You have a shoe designer friend, what a blessing…means you get awesome shoes (with a discount) whenever you want? Lucky, lucky ;-)

Well I dont know how much of a disount I would get… But she does have some good connectiomns like where to get handmade custom shoes in Italy for €250. She’s working on her Italian, while she’s working towards her dream job at Fermignano. In the mean time they have set her up with other jobs at design houses that work Edith several big companies and then Prada. I’m pretty sure it would be a bad idea for me to get into that kind of shoe habit! In the mean time I admire them and work my way through my collection of black pumps. The joy of uniforms… I can’t complain though as one of my jobs did give an allowance for them!

Edith is with… I don’t know what I did for autocorrect to come up with that!

(Prada shoes…must stay away)
You work in a uniform? And autocorrect is hilarious ;-)

I did when I worked in aviation. In winter we had three sets of shoes, boots, boarding, and galley. Though sometimes I’d stay in heels the whole time if they were well made. I just had to be careful if I hadn’t eaten/ got tired on one of the older AC’s because it was easy enough to walk into the monitors. Uniforms are convenient when you have a 3:40 – 4:40 check in!

I can only imagine!

I wear a 7.5…wide. I’m not quite a double wide, but wider than a lot of companies wides, and I can’t wear normal width shoes. Sandals are the absolute worst. I can never find them to fit my feet.

Bio

I am French Canadian, so please forgive me if my English is not always perfect :-/

My relationship with tea in a nutshell:

I’m married to straight Black. I have torrid love affairs with Oolong and Puerh. I party with Green and White occasionally. Flavored are not my BFF, I usually stay away from them.

Love Steepster, a place for tea lovers, where you learn and share with others.

About me:

I am a free spirit, I let people be who they are and expect the same in return.

Books! I love classic literature, but also modern and pretty much anything that captures my attention.

Music is also something I can’t live without… From Bach to Nirvana, my ears know no boundaries…

Animal and nature lover, amateur photographer.

I’ve been drinking tea for as long as I can remember.

Drinking tea is a sensorial experience. The name in itself “Camellia Sinensis” lingers the promess of an adventure for the senses…

Not a big «swapper», but will occasionally. Not because I don’t want to share but because I’m trying not to hoard so much.

Also, I have narrowed down the teas I really like over the years, and I don’t feel the need to try and buy everything the way I used to. (Maybe I have become a tea snob? Sigh…)

My ratings: because I pretty much drink only teas that I judge exceptional, my ratings are usually high. Don’t be shocked to see lots of 90’s and a few 100’s. That’s because I’ve had my share of crapy teas and I’m done with that ;-)

You can find me on Instagram here, I post about my tea sessions mostly, but also about the beautiful nature that surrounds me, and my fury companions :-)
