Tonight I was reading how Tealizzy practically stalked her mailman for her butiki package, and she got it in the end. I felt some sort of envy, knowing my package is on the way but not in my hand. I didn’t stalk my mailman because I am not home during the day, but let me tell you that refresh button on the USPS tracking was getting tapped so often I thought I maybe was crashing the system.
For three days the message was the same: “customs clearance”. Today when I got home from work I saw that same message. So I did my thing, made dinner, took a bath, put on my PJs and then when I was reading a steepster note my eyes glanced over to the USPS open tab and thought “what the hell, let’s see again”. I think my eyes popped out a little bit when I saw “delivered”. So in the middle of The biggest loser, in my pyjamas! I jog over to the mailbox and get my stuff!
You know when you can’t heat the water fast enough? Yah. The kettle was on before I even opened the packages, before I even decided what to have. I couldn’t even drink it fast enough. I was like some person in the desert finding an oasis.
Tonight it was between “three friends” and this.
I am pretty sure it is by far the most flavourful butiki tea I’ve ever had. But then again, remember I’ve just been in the desert so take it with a grain of salt. And the tea is plenty sweet, no need to add anything. Large chunks of nuts are in there with the leaves. I didn’t fish for anything, I stuck my spoon in there and when I dumped the contents in the pot I saw them and …“whoa”. Amazing. I was kinda skeptical, thinking there will be a flavour behind the base. But the base takes the backseat and lets the maple and pecan really come out. Great.
I want to add creamer to it but don’t want to wreck it. Maybe for the resteep.
Ok, I’m happy tonight! (Also, this is probably the longest note from me you’ll ever read)
:D
Haha! This one is one of my favorites! She’s so good with flavor, it’s like the leaves just naturally taste that way! I’m not usually home either, but on furlough because of the shutdown. :P At least there was tea to look forward too!
