Chá Gourmet

The bags my sister gifted me only got me through the week, but as it turns out, it was perfectly timed! The mint was refreshing, which was necessary for the São Martinho summer — how was it 25C yesterday? We didn’t get weather that nice in August!!
In other news, I finally got my neuro appointment!! It was a surprise; a bunch of patients missed their appointments, so they bumped me — they contacted me at 10:40, letting me know there was an opening at 11:20! I cried (okay, I sobbed) from happiness the whole drive, and the doctor was really nice too
I’m now on preventative medication; let’s see how it does!

my wonderful sister bought me this from a tea store where she lives; every tea there has, at least, five ingredients, which is great if you’re looking for fun, but not so much if you’re looking for something…. simple? there’s something nice about a clean, pure green tea, or a black tea with a single flavoring; and do not get me started on oolong or gunpowder

anyways, this blend is quite surprising, and I’m glad I have something with mint at home now; I don’t know yet how I’ll survive the week without the extra caffeine, but then again my gf will be happy to know I’m somewhat scaling back my daily caffeine consumption
the brew is fresh, with some hints of a warmer and flowery background; it’s not as shocking as Lipton’s Moroccan Spices, but I’d say it has the same DNA — minty, cozy, perfect for transitional weather

as a side note, I can’t believe I used to say that anything with mint tasted like toothpaste; if it does, then I am surely a tooth!
