Dem Bones

And a sipdown for this!
Like Wake the Dead, this tea is a gentle sort of blend, mild but also nice. Mild is sometimes a perfectly soothing cup, and thats where we have ended up with this blend.
I’ve enjoyed these teas. They’ve been fun!

And this, the other tea from Dem Bones is a very solid little Rose Earl Grey!
The floral is more in the smell than the sip, and the bergamot is well balanced with the tea base, so it never overpowers or becomes soapy.
Three cheers all around!

Sipdown!
I finished this yesterday, which seemed appropriate.
All in all a delicate, mild breakfast blend, which actually made for a refreshing change. I enjoyed it very much.

Happy Halloween!
I’ve been drinking this at work, where it does very well. Its a very gentle sort of breakfast blend, so it does very well at work, where I am sipping and distracted, rather than in a place of drinking tea in full mindfulness.
It also is appropriately named for today, with all the implied spookiness of Halloween!

I’ve brought this along to work, and I think its going to do really well as a work tea. Its a really nice tea, but gentle enough that it can ease me through paperwork and suchlike.

I ordered this tea from a company who specializes in skull shaped sugar cubes (Dem Bones on Etsy). I have wanted those sugar cubes for absolute years, and finally committed to them., and a couple of teas to boot.
This is a fairly nice little Darjeeling. The Marigold petals only seem to add color, not any noticeable flavor, but the tea has good enough flavor on its own.
A soothing sort of cup. I had it for breakfast today, but I think it’s going to be an afternoon tea instead.
