I needed a comfort tea this morning, and this was it. My awesome headphones I have at work aren’t working on the right side. (My electrical engineer spouse is delighted with the prospect of tearing them apart and making them work again.) Of course, it seems like everyone who sits near me is either having meetings at their desk this morning or on conference calls. Never fails. I don’t even have backup headphones to use.
Sigh.
So I picked out this tea to have as I have enough for one cup. Unfortunately, I can’t remember who was generous enough to send this my way, either. I had multiple swaps arrive right around the same time, and I had them out of their packages and sitting on the table so I could put stickers on them to remind myself later, and my wonderful husband was nice enough to pick them up and put them away for me. Oops!
So yeah. The tea. I love genmaichas. I need to get more. I had forgotten how much I love them. This one with the additions of the black tea (which steeped at this low temperature just adds depth to the tea without taking over the more delicate flavor of the green tea) and caramel and vanilla. Comfort in a cup! I do find that the strongest flavor is still the toasted rice, which I absolutely adore.
I hate when one side of the headphones stop working! It’s the worst
I’m going sans headphones today because all the talking and commotion going on around me is less bothersome than only half the sound from my headphones.
