drank Orange Passionfruit by DAVIDsTEA
85 tasting notes

Today was a long and stressful day with many hours spent in the car, school hoping from one interview to the next. I had a grand total of 8 interviews today and I am tired. Needless to say, I needed something that would start my day off with a punch and this was my go to. I enjoyed sipping it as I drove to my first meeting this morning, while I drove to my next interview, and after ward on my way to my third.

I just love how this tea makes me feel and the orange flavour is delightful!

Wow, when you said you had eight in another note, I thought you meant that you were the interviewer. How did you manage to squeeze in eight interviews in one day?! Wow, I don’t think I’ve been able to do more than two in one day due to bussing complications. I can’t imagine how exhausted you are now.

The first interview was for two positions at two different schools, the principals had paired up to interview together, then the next two were single interviews, the next one again two principals paired for a double interview, and then the next two were individuals. It started at 9am and went until 5pm. It was a lot of driving and hoping I would not end up being late for an interview.

I can’t imagine how hectic and stressful that must have been. Definitely keep us posted on the follow-ups and fingers crossed you get something! Now you need to treat yourself.

I accepted a full year contract teaching 3/4. I was busy this week preparing my classroom which meant very little tea was drank. But I was able to squirrel away a section in my cupboard for teas to enjoy while working. Interview season is a crazy time of year and I cannot wait for the day when I get a permanent contract and never have to partake in interviews again.

Congratulations! My mom was teaching a split grades 3/4 class before she retired.

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
