A great way to wake up this morning. There is horizontal blowing snow outside, and I have absolutely no idea how this country plans on functioning in such drudgery, but I suppose it’s possible.
This is a great breakfast tea, despite the fact that it’s flavoured. Now that I’ve figured out my magic parameters (a heaping tsp of leaf for about 10 oz of water) at four minutes, I can get a reliably smooth and fresh blueberry cup every time. I didn’t get as much of the base this morning, but that’s ok: hot, fresh blueberry juice fit the bill perfectly. I think this will be an excellent tea come summer, but for now, I let the fresh blueberry flavour remind me that although winter feels endless, it never is. But my god is it nasty out there. And what a toll it can take on your mood!

Your notes on this one make me want to re-try it haha. Hope you have a great day, despite the snow!
Did you not like it your first time? and, thanks. Made it to work, which is thankfully indoors. Now to get through the day and make it home! :)
I did enjoy it somewhat, but the scent overwhelmed me and the taste underwhelmed me.
I hope the snow lets up in time for you to go home. That is the worst! Whenever I wake up and it’s a disaster outside, I’m always tempted to roll back over and sleep.
I’m impressed by how quick the city is to clear the roads etc. Back in Vancouver, it seemed like the entire city would start to crawl once a bit of snow hit the ground. That or people would drive like maniacs and crash like crazy. Toronto seems much more organized in comparison. I guess you guys have experience here that we in Van do not. :P (Says the lady who wore sandals for most of last year)
Calgary is a complete disaster when anything falls from the sky, which always amazes me considering it happens all the time haha! Yay for Toronto. :)
haha so i have to laugh… i see this much snow and i SQUEEEEE with joy! I was SOOOO happy to get back to toronto and see that we got snow like chicago did. I effing LOVE this sort of winter. It hasn’t been like this in years since i moved out to toronto so i am all over the being outside, playing in the snow, making snowmen and snow forts and snow angels and getting cold and wet and loving every minute of it. Winter with no snow is awful.
Haha that’s awesome Sil. :)
sil, I’m glad someone is enjoying it! because I’m certainly not LOL—far, far too cold. and cavo, that’s what I hear about cities that don’t typically get snow: the city grinds to a halt at the sign of anything falling from the sky.
keychange – i will make a snow angel today in your honor so the cold gods leave you alone haha
Please do! that way I’ll have a little bubble of warmth surrounding me everywhere I go, and you can have all the snow men and angels and chilly wind! everyone wins.
haha
Horizontal snow here too…
And living the country life, it ALWAYS a mess here wintertime, lol!
Glad you made it into work ok keychange! Hopefully the snow dies down for you when it’s time to go home.
@Courtney: I always find that after the first few snowfalls people start remembering that they have to drive differently and things calm down some. Now I wish I could say the same about the C-trains… they’re always braking down in the winter.
I hope the weather settles, although they don’t predict it will for a while yet. Oh well, at least I lead a highly-indorified life.
Indoorified haha. :P
Keychange – I’m also with you on the highly-indorified life! I thought about rebuilding the snowman outside our house, but everyone is sick, so I can’t just take the kiddo out with me to do it. I’ll just hide inside and drink warm beverage after warm beverage.
