Ok, round two with this tea wasn’t as good. The scent of it while it was steeping was sinfully deceptive; making me think I would taste all the spices I was smelling.
Again, I may have done my usual over-creaming, so that might have had something to do with the fact that I felt as though I was mostly just drinking lightly flavoured black tea—I dare say that the lat I had to go the other day was actually more impressive. But then again, I usually steep things wrong before I get them right, so there’s that.
David’s tea website suggests that I add in a spoonful of brown sugar. Do you guys think they are referring to ordinary brown sugar that you’d use for baking? Because that’s all the sugar I’ve got on me, although it does seem as though it’d be a wonderful addition to the tea.
Definitely not giving up on this tea!
In other news, we’re all moved into the new place. I don’t know about “settled” though, as the process of unpacking is kind of tedious, but in my opinion, it beats packing anyday. That, and you have pretty much forever to do it. I’ve unpacked my tea and tea accessories, as well as my work clothes and shoes, and so far, that’s good for now. Arden (my guide dog) probably hasn’t figured out that this is home yet, but I imagine that won’t be long in coming. It helps that i’m also familiar with the area myself, so I’m hoping he’ll pick up on my confidence when we’re out walking.
