2970 Tasting Notes
Oh, it’s been a crazy few weeks. I’ve been in a one night only play, I’ve held down my office during the busiest season of the year, my boss has taken a week long vacation immedietly after, and now, his MIL has covid, so what this week will look like yet.
Ooof. Tea to the rescue?
I hope she’s ok, and my boss is ok, and his small child is ok.
Eeeesh.
Every Lupicia Christmas or New Years tea always has a flavor profile that I think is better for the warmer weather, so I am drinking their New Years Eve tea on Easter.
Nom.
Yesterday it was pouring rain, but today it is bright and clear.
My mom will be coming over for dinner tonight, so I have tidying to do!
Ah, this weekend has not been long enough.
I have started my day with the Queen, to be a balm to an overly busy soul.
At work we have a week before a major deadline, and I’m starting tech week for a play I’m in. I’m also editing the script a playwright I’ve worked with before has asked feedback on.
How have I convinced people that I am a responsable adult, and why does that make me so busy? Arrgh.
But the queen is her perfectly balanced, magical and majestic self, and that lets me relax for at least the duration of a cuppa tea.
Oh its been such a long week, full of so many things! And a lot of those things were highly irritating people.
We are going to go to our tasty happy place, in a warm cup of tea.
Yum. May it power me through the end of this tricky week.
Do you ever have one of those nights where you are tired, you are all tucked up comfortably, and you cannot go to sleep? That was me last night, laying there, exhausted, unable to force myself into rest.
Ugh.
Tea to the rescue!
This is a very delicate blend, with vanilla and grenadine in it, which makes for a very soft sort of cup. That fits the mood very well. Sometimes when i am very tired I want a tea to clobber me over the head, but this one suits my desire to be gently lead into the day.
It is a perfect day for Her Majesty, Queen Catherine.
(Uuuuugggghhhh daylight savings time)
This was beautiful on a slow morning. I drank it black, but I must try it with cream and sugar sometimes.
I also had it with some cookies, which was an excellent choice. Maybe a scone next time.
Yuuuum.
Life has been chaos, and when it gets chaotic I turn to teas that are old friends. Yum.
How are all of you? I hope tea is bringing you comfort and joy at this strange time.
I’ve not been drinking a wide variety of teas, and I’m not going to let myself feel guilty about that. I do want to drink new teas, and log them, but this is a very busy period of my life, and so I’ve realized that I’m falling back on my regular suspects, my emotional support teas, and that is ok.
Its my busy time at work and it was a hard week in the office, I just passed a sad anniversary, and so I am not going to let my drinking of this this old favorite be anything that stresses me out.
I will drink new teas in the future, but today I embrace the familiar.
This month has had me leaning on familiarity as well, that is, when I actually find myself with the time to prepare a cup. Work has drained all desire to explore any new teas during the week.
There is great comfort in familiar things!
I feel you! I gardened today, exposing the irises toes to the sun as I was taught to do, but there were hot tears mixed in with the dirt! Maybe March will look better.
I admire your fortitude! KPO! (Which, as I understand it, was short for keep plodding on and was how Winston Churchill bucked up his clerical staff in times of trouble.)
