Today has sorta turned out to be a subconsciously “green tea” type of day; how odd, I almost never have “green tea days”.
Anyway, I started the day by opening up the package for the seventh day of Christmas tea exchange; which was so cool and cleverly thought out! I decided to pass on trying it though because I’m already heavily out of order and I figured that I would rather wait until I had milk to add to it; I’m like ceylon teas, but often find they’re better with a bit of milk.
So, I made this instead because I thought it’d be a good tea to take on the go with me for my day of errands/interview. I made it like normal, and it taste pretty much like normal except slightly more green and vegetal tasting than it usually is. This is practically a herbal, which is why I think I like it despite it being green – so more green tea taste isn’t really that heavily welcomed. Like I said, it was only slightly though.
Among all the errands like stopping at the bank, I managed to make it to Tea Desire where I picked out three new rooibos teas to try out! I’d like to hopefully try at least one of them today, but I also have a ton of other blends in mind to juggle/get through. I think after this tea, I’m gonna spend the rest of the day and all of tomorrow just trying new things.
I also stopped at DAVIDsTEA and picked up a couple of tea tins (mostly black ones for my Butiki blends), and 30g of Fantasy Island – purely because of VariaTEA’s tasting notes on it. She loves it and we seem to have similar enough taste in tea; plus it was a flavoured black I haven’t tried yet. I also got a new 12 oz. timolino – so now I have two! My first one is black, but this second one is like this almost white colour but with maybe just the smallest touch of mint green. It’s super pretty!
And then, to kill time before my interview I stopped at the local foods store on a whim, and wound up finding my favourite bagged black tea; Saskatoon Berry from Riverblend Plantation! I had all but resigned that the only way I’d ever get more was if I went back to the art museum in Regina! Woot! So, I just got a small 5 Bag “sample pack” of it to top off what I have at home. Now that I know where it’s sold I don’t need to buy in huge quantity. They had a few other teas there too, but none of them looked super intriguing or worth buying.
And, I think my interview went well. The manager who interviewed me was very point blank about the fact he was interviewing multiple people today, but I’m choosing to think that’s because of my manager experience and the fact I hopefully didn’t come across as naive. Only hiccup might have been that he asked me to tell him a joke, and the first one to come to mind and the one I said was rather inappropriate. He laughed at it though – a lot.
How do you know you’re at a gay picnic? All the weiners taste like shit.
And now I’m packing for my trip (clothes, not tea; the tea is already packed…)

I was experiencing random green tea days a few weeks back too. So bizarre.
So glad you picked some rooibos there! I see you went with the three I mentioned. I hope you’ll like them! If you don’t, I’ll feel like crap haha.
Hah, they were the ones you recommended – but I wouldn’t have bought them if they hadn’t smelled amazing too :p
Yay! Well let’s hope they taste as good as they smell.
