I’m still in a sweetness phase, where I want all the sweet teas. December brings that out in me.
It was such a cold morning, that where the sprinklers were watering the fields and orchards, icicles were forming! A dramatic sight.

And its sipped down! (I think. This is the sort of bagged tea that might suddenly spring an extra packet at you from the bottom of a purse or a backpack, but hey, its close enough)
Its a basic mint, which is no bad thing. I am immensely fond of basic mint, so its a nice cup to cling to on a cold morning.

Over lunch I acquired a gingerbread person, and it has improved the afternoon vastly.
I cling to my cup of warm tea, and my gingerbread, and think holiday thoughts to other people, and they day gets better.

Today has been nuts. It is likely that it will continue to be nuts. Arrgh. I was so hoping that this week would be easier than it is.
Oh well.
I grabbed my remaining sachets of this blend as my “other” work tea, and the way this day is going I may just drink them all down.
Even if its not a great tea blend, holding the warm mug is sometimes all it takes to lift your spirits.

And suddenly its very cold and windy!
Well, a perfect time for a cup of snuggly tea, then.

Its the first day of winter, so I had to bring out this tea for my morning cuppa.
The spices and the citrus note are a good blend, and it was warming and thematic on this morning.
Ahh. Winter. Prime tea drinking time.

I arrived at work, for what promised (threatened?) to be a very busy day, and discovered I had made two tactical errors.
One- I had not brought a new “other tea” for my desk. (My at work tea formula being two black teas, and one other sort of tea)
Two- though I had noted I was almost out of paper filters at my desk, I had not done anything, you know, useful in the way of brining new ones. So I am now down to one.

Argh. I have only myself to blame, and that’s annoying. Someone else to blame is always good.

I tried my first cup of this today. Its an interesting blend, with lapsang, spices, and a touch of orange.
I like all of these things individually, but I’m not entirely convinced that they are blending as well as I hoped they would.
Fortunatly I’ve got tons of this, and can play around with it.

Aaaaand sipdown!
It was an excellent work tea, and I am well glad to have it go into the files of Sipdown.
Farewell, pleasant but elderly tea!

Argh. Tea filter split open and loose leaf went everywhere. Bllleeehhh.
But the tea was still tasty, if a little untidy.
