1598 Tasting Notes
Ok, this is gone and I don’t need more. I sorta snagged 30g of DAVIDsTEA’s version on Boxing Day!
(163)
So….what exactly IS Boxing Day?
It’s our version of Black Friday, but it’s not quite as insane as Black Friday, i.e. no one has ever been trampled? But people line up overnight and the store open super early so people can grab the first come, first serve awesome deals. And the malls are completely packed with people looking to spend their Christmas money in themselves…. :p
It’s sorta turned into Boxing Week instead if just the day, but the best stuff is sold on Boxing Day.
I was in retail for many years and if you work retail, you WILL work Boxing Day. It’s the busiest day of the year and all staff are needed to handle the massive crowds. It’s always been insane but I sorta miss it because we made it fun with potlucks in the back room and all the coffee you want to jazz up. :p
I never even heard of Black Friday until a few years ago though!
Black Friday us becoming more of a thing here now, because of online store influencing the rest. So we are spoiled up here!
I tried this one again in my fancy kettle (which I think is getting things up to temp?) but it just isn’t working for me.
I’m tossing the last half of my sample into my sample box for my sister – she is interested in trying new teas and I’m happy I can share them!
Thank you CrowKettle – this was a nice surprise sample! (Sipdown, 166)
I waited until my variable kettle (http://bit.ly/1de2AJv) arrived so I could try it out! (Eeee! New kettle!!! I’m still trying to figure out how it works, but I do like that it doesn’t beep or anything once the water is heated!
This is a really nice white tea. I don’t often drink white teas because they taste like barely flavoured water, but this one has a lot of neat flavours to it. I’m getting hay, and peach notes. Very nice!
