This was a purchase made under the suggestion of my favourite Tea Gal at David’s tea. I have never tried an oolong, and it took me a while to figure out how to steep it so that I can steep it again (a very expensive learning experience for the frugal at heart).
I was a little put off at how flavourless this tea was despite the “kick you in the face” scent of the leaves, but I really enjoy the colour the saffron leaves give to this tea, the beautiful golden colour is something to look at!
I love to read and what goes better with reading than a hot cup of tea on rainy winter nights and an ice-cold tea on a hot summers day?
I used to drink copious amounts of coffee but that was just a joke, because I never drank enough water to flush out that one cup of coffee (32oz of water to 8oz of coffee?!?) and the variety in tea gives me what I need – it is not often I will drink the same thing twice.
Tea is defiantly more gentle on the waistline… Espcially since when I crave apple pie I can reach for a cup of “Mom’s Apple pie” or if I want caramel corn for my movie night, I just have to brew a cup of “Movie Night”…
I definitely have a preference for Oolongs, flavoured Blacks and a select number of flavoured Rooibos.
I love you tea, this can only get better as the extra weight continues to tapper off!
Oh, did I mention I am a reader, a childcare worker, a teacher, a friend, a sister and so many other things in a day?
