I have to say, that for some inexplicable reason, I have a touch more energy this week than I have in previous weeks. It might be the fairly eventful day at work yesterday, or maybe it’s the starting of the wedding planning that’s giving me momentum, but hey-I’m not going to complain. Anything to make this dreary weather better (right sil? right? LOL). No snow angels for me…more like snow devils.

Anyway, this tea felt like a decadent treat this morning, still very buttery with lots of caramel. This and the cantaloupe and cream are two Butiki teas I plan on keeping stocked forever. I don’t have this one frequently, but every time I do, I wish I had it more often. I still don’t know how Stacey makes a tea taste buttery, but like I said above-I’m not going to complain! This tea falls into the flavoured category, but somehow also works really well as a breakfast tea.

Yum! Enjoy your Monday :)

I mean Tuesday. :P Days are mixed up for me it seems.

Ha! I didn’t even catch the mistake…shows how alert I am!

I hear you keychange! The only thing I want to do with the snow is build an army of miniature snowmen and then crush them! Bahaha.

It’s too cold though. OMG. I just checked my app and it says ‘feels like -30C’, which is -22F for you Yankees. That’s TOO COLD. If it stayed at -10 I would probably do a happy dance.

Wow, you make me feel wimpy for complaining about our 8 degrees F here…

I hear you, cavo. I’m only an hour and ahalf outside Toronto, and it seems to be frigid everywhere! This seriously needs to stop soon.

Yum… this is the tea that needs to be on my first ever Butiki order soon. Weather wise… yeah… -18C with wind gusts to 50km/h making it feel like -37C, that’s what they say. My body refuses to function in such weather… it’s time for hibernation, with hot tea in hand of course.

keychange

Yeah, I think there should definitely be some exception to functioning at this temperature!

Well, it’s been slightly over six months since I’ve joined steepster, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this community. Like many of you, I began my foray into the world of loose-leaf tea by discovering David’s Tea, and although I’ve ventured out and have discovered many other companies that I’m extremely fond of, there are still many of David’s teas that I hold close to my heart and I will always appreciate it as a starting point for my journey.

As for my preferences, I tend to prefer bold black tea, flavoured and unflavoured alike, and I almost always take my blacks with cream and sugar. This isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy a good, flavoured white though, and I’m slowly making my way through the incredibly confusing world of oolongs and greens. I am also not a fan of rooibos, although I am starting to suspect green rooibos may be ok, but you know how it is: when you’ve decided you detest a certain ingredient, you’ll notice it everywhere—perhaps even where it doesn’t exist!

Things other than tea: I’m engaged to be married to my best friend, and feel like the richest woman on the planet because of it. I am also a veracious reader, and I also happen to have an obsession with fragrances, and have amassed quite a collection, although it pales in comparison to some collections out there! As a result of this obsession, I also follow several fragrance blogs, and am always up for a chat about scent. I’m also almost completely blind, and this does indeed mean that I come complete with a guide dog, who unlike me, hales from the sunny California campus of Guide dogs for the Blind. I think I’ve rambled on long enough, but if there’s anything you’d like to know or if you just feel like chatting to someone, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.
