Well, I’ve basically overdosed myself with sweetness, what with all the lattes and biscotti tea, etc, etc, so for my afternoon tea it’s time for…smoky! Yay smoky!
This is pretty tame as smoky teas go, and has a light sweet note that I am, right now, kind of wishing wasn’t there. All in all, I’m kinda wanting something…more.
I’m a Pole who grew up in Texas, is currently a graduate student in California studying Japan. How’s THAT for random?
Being Polish, my family has always drunk a lot of tea, and I am no different. I may drink more tea than water. On the other hand, I can’t say that I’m very particular about it; I’m generally pretty careless with steeping times and water temperature and I don’t even have a proper teapot (mostly because the lid broke during the move to California ;_;).
I always drink my tea unsweetened and I only add milk in the case of the most egregiously chai-ish of chais. (not really a big fan of milk in general)
Given that so many of my entries seem to be about my morning tea, I felt I should add something here about me and mornings: I fail at mornings. I fail at them a LOT. Therefore I often also fail at proper tea making in the mornings.
