This is basically a backlog from 3 hours ago because I brewed up a cup of this whilst working on an English analysis paper and I got so into it that I finished my tea (and my paper!) and completely forgot to log it oops.

Hmm, I don’t think i’m too into this one.

The dry leaves themselves smelled quite rich in the packaging (which, might I add is completely and incredibly adorable tea sampler packaging from the fabulous jump62359 as demonstrated here: http://tmblr.co/ZbP73w1EVjTPC) (oh hello more brackets after a bracket. Can you do that? I don’t think so but HEY. Just wanted to throw it out there that many of these logs are just going to be me going through samples at the moment because i’m trying to find some new teas i’m into!) and I was actually excited for what I though was going to be a perfectly balanced tea. Sadly, I was a little disappointed as I felt like the marzipan-esque flavour really overpowered everything else in the tea for me. (I almost feel as if this is an accurate representation of Jack’s character anyways because haha the man is definitely unique and quite dominant and forward in everything he does) I did manage to get a taste of some almond, though no chocolate sadly :( I might try brewing it again with less time, I don’t know. It definitely wasn’t horrible but I just don’t think it would be something I personally would buy for myself mainly because I didn’t enjoy the strong aftertaste.

Sidenote: I’m going to a Bombay Bicycle Club concert on Saturday night! And I’m so completely excited. One of my friends bought me a ticket as an early birthday present and can I just say that shes fabulous? Also school is kind of calming down now which is nice. AND PACKAGES! I got Kyra’s package of teas (!!!!!!!!!!!) in the mail, and I was worried because she hadn’t received mine BUT SHE JUST GOT IT YESTERDAY AND THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY. I totally have a butt ton of more stuff to send your way Kyra so just be prepared xox

Shh I actually haven’t tried this tea yet haha. But he smells lovely, I just never have the mood for all the almond? Ahh well, I’ll have the craving soon enough :)
AND I SEE THE THING IN THE FLKYRA TAG. I still need to reblog it and it needs to be done at the right time so people can actually see it :))
And I’m thinking up of stuff for a wee birthday present for you but what? What can I get you that is tough for you to get? I DON’T EVEN KNOW.

awoogah

I think I definitely have a bracket addiction haha (oops) (see there I go again!)

And yeah Kyra, he smells so good! Definitely going to keep an eye out for your review on it ;)

Why hello there, the name’s Flora!

I watch a lot of TV, read a lot of books, and cry about my feelings for all of the above. I live way up North in the land of maple syrup and igloos- but don’t worry, we still get internet access up here ;)

I have no idea what I’m doing.

Anything with caffeine is normally my cup of tea, though I love trying out new blends and surprising myself with my changing tastes!

When I was younger, I started off drinking sips of my mum’s Orange Pekoe when she would look the other way. Then it progressed to a very milky full cup of this same tea on special occasions as it was all we ever had in the house. Soon that one cup became multiple cups, and before you knew it I was discovering loose leaf and excitedly watching the teas expand and uncurl within the little kitchen strainer ball. Today? Well, it’s not a full day without a cuppa (or two or three!)
