It’s been ages since I just dropped off the face of Steepster, but I’m hoping to be back with some consistency moving forward. I got really overwhelmed with an intense job application process, and then I got the job, which has been one of the most amazing and stressful experiences of my life. I’ve been working ridiculous hours and travelling the world which hasn’t left me with a lot of time and energy to think about tea. End of the year projects are wrapping up now though, and I finally decided to sort my tea cupboard again. I’ve been drinking tea but mostly a few reliable teas that I love, or whatever is conveniently near the top of the pile. So hello again Steepster. I missed you!
Today I’m revisiting and finishing up one of my old favourites. It’s still delicious, with raspberry and honey flavours, and a mildly astringent black base. However, I find that my tastes have shifted pretty firmly toward unflavoured blacks, so me and this tea aren’t the perfect fit we used to be.
I will pick up some more again in the future, just not right away.
Flavors: Honey, Raspberry

Traveling the world? Tell us more! That sounds exciting!
I’m doing policy work around human rights and HIV prevention for sex workers, so as part of my work I’ve been to Nairobi, Kenya; Siem Reap, Cambodia, and Edinburgh, UK this year. It’s been really amazing getting to visit places that I might never have gone otherwise, and I have met some of the most incredible people.
I’ve been trying to make a point of getting in at least one touristy thing per trip, so in Kenya I went on a mini-safari, which was incredible. In Cambodia I toured the temples (there are so many of them and the detail and construction are mind blowing) and went ziplining in the jungle. And in Edinburgh I went and did falconry at a castle, visited the historical sites and climbed Arthur’s Seat.
I feel so incredibly fortunate to have had these opportunities.
Hello! Congratulations on the awesome (so awesome!) sounding job! Here’s hoping you get a little balance back, so you can include more tea drinking. ;)
Wow fantastic. So jealous – but extremely happy for you – of your opportunity to travel to those amazing places. I’m currently looking at doing a Kenya/Tanzania safari next year – happy that you were able to include some fun time while working. Welcome back!!!!!
Welcome back. :)

Welcome back!
Sounds like a great job!
